Take any negative reviews of this hotel, put them in an envelope and toss them in the trash. My grown daughter and I spent a week there and had a wonderful time -- rain and all. The staff could not have been more accommodating. We arrived early and were not only able to check in immediately, but were upgraded as... more

After reading very mixed reviews here, I was worried that I had made a bad choice in selecting this hotel. However, when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. Yes, it is not in the heart of Rio but it is a short and inexpensive cab ride (we did walk it once, but that was a bit long -- ok for... more

My wife and I stayed here as part of an escorted multi-country South America tour. Our toilet flooded our second day here. To the hotel's credit, they immediately moved us to a different room, but the toilet in that room did not flush well either. The sliding doors to the mini-balcony did not slide smoothly. The rooms are in need... more

To be fair, the hotel has some outstanding facilities: it is tucked away in a rocky cove not far from Ipanema and Leblon, and is situated directly on the... more

I stayed here for a conference and extended the stay into a vacation. First, the staff was very accommodating and spoke English well. We arrived before the official check in, but were accommodated....which was great as we were quite weary from our travels. All our interactions with the staff were positive. I paid the little bit extra for the "ocean... more

After reading so-so reviews on just about every hotel in Rio including the Sheraton my friend and I decided to give the it a try and we couldn't have been happier. We requested a room on the higher floors(after reading that the lower floors we not as nice) and found our room quite nice with a balcony over looking the... more

This hotel is not a five star hotel. We booked on reccomendation from Trailfinders and I was told this was a safe and luxurious hotel in rio. How wrong. The paint was coming off the walls and my boyfriend had to get up on a chair to hook the curtains back to the wall. The noise of jack hammers woke... more
