it is centrally located on Rua Oscar Freire, the shopping hub. The surrounding is safe. The front desk people are friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet has a lot of fresh fruit, but going to bakery, there is only limited choice. We didnt we can ask the chef to give us some fried egg till the last day I saw somebody did, no body telling us when we come in.Swimming pool at top floor is small, but the issue is very dirty.
