I notice that sole travellers like myself have given this hotel a 'poor' rating so I am wondering whether we get different rooms?? However here goes... I stayed here for the New Year celebrations last weekend.......Arriving late as is usual these days.

Good hotel at Copacabana, although not so close to the beach. It's kind of gloomy, the staff is good but not very nice (as usually in Brazil) and the rooms are not very spacious. The diner is great.

It's easy to get around on foot but busses are easy to find on the beachfront too. The rooftop pool was... More

The staff were all friendly and our room was ready on arrival although we arrived well before the usual check in time. We had a front room on the 8th floor... More

(Even though there are others that are also very nice.) The building is very beautiful all around and the rooms are very comfortable and... More
