Pleasant

the location is very good.

The rooms need renovation, the windows are not good for protecting the sound from outside. There is a bar on the ground floor and high volume music is on all night. I had difficulty in sleeping because of the noise.

Fabulous

the staff were all very friendly and helpful. our room was nicely styled we enjoyed the breakfast every morning a lot of the staff can also speak English which helped a lot

I wish there was a microwave and a kettle in the room. We were eating out all the time because of this and even when we had leftovers from the restaurant we couldn’t take it back with us because we didn’t have a way to reheat the food.

Ipanema rocks!

Well located and fairly.priced, right in the heart of Ipanema.

Happy. I'd return to this place. Shame they don't have a swimming pool that'd have been great!

Customer service very polite and helpful (check-in could have been expedited, but...) Location is perfect: Safe and centric. Super Gay/LGBTQ+ friendly. Room had a massive bed, It was big but also felt too tight.

Rooms could use a little bit of renovation and rethink of the space use. But they were nice and comfortable.

Good Hotel

The breakfast was excellent! They have a very nice buffet breakfast with hot food, pastries, and fruit. The hotel is a short walk to a very nice beach. It was easy getting an Uber from the hotel.

At night, the restaurant downstairs becomes a club. Even on the 6th floor we could still hear the music downstairs in the evening. There was also construction going on while we were there, sometimes after 10pm at night.

Upmarket hotel & bar in a central safe location

excellent location for shops, beach & restaurants away from the touristy spots

Elevators need updating but don’t let that put you off ! Abit noisy from the street traffic but it didn’t matter for me

Our entire family enjoyed the hotel and location. The staff was helpful and friendly.

The location was perfect for a quick walk to the beach, numerous restaurants in the vicinity, rooftop bar afforded a beautiful view of the city area.

No on site swimming pool.

The breakfast is very good, with a variety of breads, cakes and fruits, and the room is comfortable, although small. Also, the location of the hotel is wonderful! It is in the middle of Ipanema, close to interesting stores and two blocks from the beach. The staff is attentive and polite. I plan on coming back again.

The bathroom wall has glass bricks that let the light from the bathroom into the bedroom, which can be disturbing if one person is sleeping and another is in the bathroom.

The breakfast is great and so is room service from their restaurant. All the staff is very helpful, polite and friendly. The location is the best in the city! Full of great restaurants and commerce around and super close to Ipanema beach.

The size of the room. It's a little bit too small with two small kids. But we didn't spend much time in the hotel anyway.

Good overall.

Excellent location, very good breakfast in an airy restaurant. Room was small but confortable. Staff is very courteous and efficient.

Bathroom was a bit dusty, windows did not close properly. Needs some fixes and better cleaning.
