“Location certainly stands out here, being just a short walk from Copacabana beach, with easy access to shops and restaurants, however, some experiences may vary. The rooftop pools, with their city views, plus buffet breakfasts are clear advantages; still, it's wise to check about amenities beforehand. It's a conveniently situated base for exploring Rio.”

positive stay at the hotel

great locationgood variety

The location was very close to the beach, and many restaurants were nearby. the buffet breakfast included a massive variety of options. Even though it was almost the same thing every day, they changed a few things. i found the gym being open from 6 am a plus, because it had a nice view of the city. but, the beach was amazing!
