Great hotel and location with fantastic reception staff. The only reason for marking it down a rating is that the wifi was terrible; my partner needed to do business meetings online but it kept cutting out & stuttering. Even simple browsing was very very slow.

Great location, breakfasts

The location is excellent to visit the tourist sites like Pao de Azucar and Christo Redentor - short rideshare trips. Loved the breakfast at the restaurant on the 1st floor. The room we got was good for 3 of us and had a sofa bed. We stayed in this property two different times. The bathroom in the 2nd visit was not so clean, was out of body soap.

Strongly recommend good location and great staff

Staff are the gold of the hotel. Very flexible at reception and extremely helpful. Just a broken tap handle but all the rest was perfect. Great options of TV channels and bed and pillows very comfortable.
