The hotel is reasonably priced for the location right on the beach, the hotel is spotless and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The only downside is that the Internet must be paid extra. Read more

All in all, a very good city hotel.
Very to recommend.
The view of our room, the to the side street was was unfortunately not so ideal.
One should invest a few more euro or Reals and book a room on the side of Copacabana.

- very good service
- in August 10
Stayed at this hotel many times, compared to a UK hotel it is, at best, no more than 3 Star, the staff are all very nice but the hotel is now very, very tired and is in urgent need of upgrading, Rio is an expensive city and the rates for the hotel reflect this pricing, the restaurant (French) is very, very expensive however the quality of the food is above average.

- well worthwhile chef
- acceptable staff
- passable staff
- in November 09
The point of a real experienced concierge is not information,it is personal connections,this guy can get you a seat on a fully booked plane and a VIP seat at Carnaval,or a helicopter ride to Buzios.

I strongly urge anyone that currently has a reservation to re-book somewhere else ASAP in order to prevent their trip to Rio from being ruined by petty theft and awful service.
