This hotel is located just behind Arpoador, right on the border between Copacabana and Ipanema. 4 minutes walk to Copacabana beach, and 10 minutes walk to Ipanema. For the location (provided you can get a good deal) the price was astonishingly good value. Rooms were acceptable. Except for the damned key entry card which had to be reprogrammed almost every...

This is a big hotel with large rooms, our was a 70s style - not sure whether all the rooms are in this style - but I didn't mind it at all. With a very large bedroom and a large bathroom I welcomed its 70s feels, maybe a boutique hotel looks more contemporary, but I appreciated the space! The location... More

Spent eight nights after new-year in Rio and stayed at this hotel. Overall we were underwhelmed by this hotel. We say “underwhelmed” instead of “disappointed” or “unhappy” as we do have some appreciation of the price range and quality of hotels in Rio in general, and understand that January is high season. In any other cities this hotel would be... More

This was an excellent hotel just 400 metres from copacobana, and 800 metres from iponema. Well located on a principal bus route it's a sort ride from sugar loaf, or from the lagoon. Excellent breakfasts, with plenty of juices and excellent fresh fruit. There are plenty of restaurants around and about so no problems in finding somewhere to feed. The... More

The hotel is greatly located you can reach by foot both the Ipanema beach and Copacabana beach. The rest is like a regular hotel, the only thing I would point out is the good and complete breakfast, it always includes fresh fruit and hot dishes and where you can also try a few thing of the traditional Brasilian food like:...

The hotel is in a very good location, just 2 blocks from Copacabana beach and about 4 from Ipanema beach. Easy walking distance to these iconic tourist spots. On a busy road, so loads of busses and taxi's. Hotel is a little dated, but very comfortable, rooms are large and rather simply furnished. Staff were extremely helpful and courteous, front... More

This was a slightly above average hotel, in a great location. This hotel was a great value for us since it had a triple room and it included breakfast. The rooms were a bit tight, but were otherwise clean and quite. The location is the best feature of this hotel, being just 3 blocks away from the Ipanema Beach and... More

Perfect location, close to beach, local shops, banks, bus route and metro station. Great breakfast. Reception staff very helpful with good standard of English. Good travel agent almost next door for local tour arrangements. Two PCs with free internet in lobby. Cheap dry cleaning shop across the street and two laundry's round the corner. More

We loved this hotel. it is centrally located and close to bus and 5 mins from the beach. the rooms were clean and a nice size and you got a great view from the roof top. We went to Rocinha which was great fun but I wouldn't recommend it now that the police clampdown is happening. Also did the usual... More
