Location, front of the property is about few steps to cross the street and you're already stepping in the sand of Copacabana Beach. Property is in convenient location surrounded by restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. Take Uber to Lapa and it will cost you less than $5. Free breakfast is average, same line of food every day. Staff are great and helpful, but communication is hard since they don't speak English.

Wonderful location. Staff was a little grouchy and there are no beach chairs or umbrellas.

This hotel is patently the worst I’ve seen in a long time. The rooms were moldy, and one of the guests in our party was highly allergic - the hotel staff denied the issue completely, refused to provide new rooms, then asked us to leave the hotel. They also didn’t send taxis to pick up our party despite our pre booking them, leaving people stranded at the airport. I’ve used Expedia for a while and was amazed by the photos and reviews, however my experience should be a cautionary tale. The hotel refused to refund the rooms, the staff became hostile to our party, and we were forced to book elsewhere taking a loss on this reservation. Expedia defers all refunds to the hotel, so expect to get screwed by both parties
