I was very impressed with this hotel, an inexpensive choice only 3 blocks from Copacabana beach. Located on a busy street where the locals go to bars, supermarkets, inexpensive but flavorful restaurants. I felt safe walking back to the hotel at night. My room on the 13th floor had a balcony with a view of the beach, the Sugar Loaf,... more

Room was basic, breakfast buffet plentiful but understaffed, waited quite a while to get coffee while the staff tried to keep up with clearing tables and serving. Suprised they serve so much cake at breakfast in Brazil. Extra charge for the room safe. Bedding could have been nicer....pillow cases were dingy, one was almost grey it was so old, little... more

I stayed in the Hotel in the beginning of April 2009 for 10 days. It is rated a 4 star and has everything you need from a Hotel even Wifi. The breakfast is very good, but a little busy on the weekends. The Hotel reception has a good understanding of English. The room is nice and clean, but it is... more

Staying in Rio is expensive and it is hard to find a good value and quality hotel. This place is not amazing but is ok for a short stay. Have to admit did not like Rio very much, never felt safe and found the food to be very average - unless you are really into meat buffets every night. The... more

My wife and I would not normally book a hotel with a "low star rating" but due to Carnaval in Rio we were left no option at short notice. However, we were pleasantly surprised. This hotel provides all the services stated and more. My wife and I found this a good value hotel and very well located in Copacabana (2... more

Good value hotel. It was clean, our room was fairly large but basic and we could actually see the sea from the balcony....just. Staff were ok, some better than others, breakfast was ok....did the job, the hotel does what it says on the tin really. The pool was very small but it is just a pluinge pool so was expected,... more

Comfortable and reasonable place to stay. Staff could speak adequate English. Hot breakfast was great. Room was clean and service was good. I did not like their recommendations for tours, and decided to use Grayline instead. more

My partner and I just returned from a week in Rio staying at the Augusto's. We booked the hotel via Gate1 travel and enjoyed our stay. I've attached a few photos. I also comment on safety issues. The hotel is tourist class -- rooms are basic, the mattresses are a bit hard, the sheets are a bit thin, that sort... more

I booked this hotel via a third party as it was the best rate I could find for a hotel in this area but I must say I was very disappointed in the service I received. The hotel has a discretionary no-guests policy meaning it's up to them whether or not they like the look of your friend. I invited... more
