Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit tired and could have used some upgrading, especially the noisy air conditioning unit, but they did offer great views of the beach, Sugarloaf, and Christ the Redeemer. The service was always friendly and helpful, although I was charged for a half-day late checkout. The location was convenient, close to Flamingo Park and the beach, with easy access to city attractions. The dining experience was decent with fair minibar prices, and the hotel facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers stunning views of the beach, Sugarloaf, and Christ the Redeemer from the rooms, which also feature US power sockets. However, the air conditioning and windows are quite noisy, reminiscent of older hotels in Rio.
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and nice, exactly as shown online, with a very nice view of Flamengo park and Sugar Loaf. However, the bay view was not as expected, as there was no normal window, so we had to upgrade our room. The service was superb, from the door men to the bar and restaurant staff, especially the room cleaning staff. The location was great, right in front of Flamengo beach with views of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, and the staff were friendly. The dining experience had a mix of opinions, with one guest noting it was the best view in Rio, but the food options were limited. Facilities were decent, but noise from the air conditioners was a bit bothersome.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms are in need of updating but have great views of the beach, Sugarloaf, and Christ the Redeemer. The hot water in the shower was good, but the lack of cold water made it scalding. The service was accommodating but lacking in customer service. The location is fantastic for tourists with easy access to shops and restaurants. The dining options were neither impressive nor disappointing. Overall, it was a decent stay with both positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though spacious and comfortable with a great view of Sugarloaf Mountain, had an initial stink upon entry and overlooked an air-well near the bottom of the eleven-story building. On the bright side, the hotel is directly located at the beach, but the presence of tiny twin beds could be a downside.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and spacious with a great view of Sugarloaf Mountain, but they had a slight smelly and stuffy odor. The service was very attentive and prepared, with staff speaking both Spanish and English well, but there was a disappointment with the lack of responsiveness to our battery issue. The location was a major concern for my plans, although it offered a brilliant view of Flamengo beach and iconic landmarks; however, it was not the most entertaining area. The dining options were good overall, with a variety of fruits and fresh options available, including sashimi. The facilities were modern and comfortable, though there were minor issues with the room odor.
The hotel has a beautiful view of its garden and the Sugar Loaf mountain, but the room was totally different from the picture, without a normal window, requiring an upgrade. The service was acknowledged for its need to change the battery but was critiqued for potentially charging double. The location is brilliant, right in front of Flamengo Beach with views of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, although some noise from the air conditioning was noted. The dining experience had lots of variety but the coffee was not a favorite. The facilities were rated positively overall.
This hotel offers stunning views of Corcovado from all rooms along with noisy air conditioning units from the 80s. The balcony provides a wonderful viewpoint despite dated windows. The service is top-notch, from the doormen to the housekeeping staff. The location is convenient for exploring the city and accessing transportation, but the dim hallways may give off a spooky vibe. The dining experience is enjoyable despite minor service delays. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay.
I found the hotel to be well-maintained and comfortable, with friendly staff. The room cleanliness was superb, but the view left much to be desired. The location was convenient, although planning activities was a challenge at times.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were not in the best condition, being hot, noisy, and outdated, they were generally clean. The location, near Flamingo Park and the beach, was convenient for my business trip, but there were some noise disturbances from the nearby roads. The service was friendly and helpful, although the pricing for comparable rooms this week was a bit on the higher side. The dining experience, with all-you-can-eat options, was good but could have used more variety day to day. The facilities were decent, but there were small inconveniences like waiting for service at breakfast.
