We were guests of the millesime clubs. The reception was fantastic in the 8. floor. Us everything was explained very well. But since we already at 9 o'clock in the morning arrived, was our room still not ready. The club has but a very good lounge where you could have breakfast. We were once and waited for our room which for us as promised point 11 hours was ready. However, we found that sometimes the attention the waiter was missing.We had only breakfast and snacks in the hotel. But they were delicious. In the evening you can in Rio very … read more

We stayed on a very spacious suite with a wonderful view, although it lacked the high-end luxury touch. Location, as the name says, couldn’t be better. Breakfast was very complete and with quality offerings. The concierge was very nice and helpful. … read more

The first room smelled musty, the air conditioning was on the first level loud. Change wasn't a problem, therefore the evaluation refers to the new room. There hotel is outdated, the rooms include renovated, since the furniture rather fastened are. Drawers do not permanently locked etc. Below zerbröselte jamb couldn't be cared for. For the service many lamps need almost ingenieurstudiums, a logic is not to see. Nevertheless the room and the hotel surprisingly clean, they try very as a part of the possibilities.
