The very best thing was early check in. The gentleman at the front desk was super friendly and helpful and allowed us to check in at 11:30am (normal is 2pm). I'm sure that is not always possible but after a long flight that arrived inconveniently early, we were grateful. Everything else was good. The location is great with a perfect view of the beautiful Ipanema beach and the incredible foot-volleyball players and people relaxing by the sea. There are a ton of food options within a 5 minute walk (from McDonalds to fancy Brazilian steak). My only negative about the location is that it's about an hour drive from the airport when traffic is bad - and traffic is always bad (except apparently at 2am on Sunday). By the way, we never felt unsafe during our stay other than at the airport itself, where a flock of shady taxi drivers aggressively tried to persuade us that they were "official ubers". Don't fall for it - they will charge many times the correct rate. Go ahead and book this hotel.

Great place to stay , near everything and great service. Food delicious at the restaurant

Great stay

Great location and fantastic hotel.

Very nice Hotel, really it os not beach front, but the closest to The beach can get, a main street away! It is an old property, the staff is very nice and helpful, the building is old and the elevators take a while. Location is great! Good place but pricy for the infrastructure.

Excellent location, great friendly staff, amazing breakfast and restaurant. Near all restaurants and shops.

Excellent stay!

Excellent stay!

Great location, excellent breakfast

Had a great time. Staff is friendly, rooftop view is amazing and hotel is in a great location

The room was very clean. The air conditioning worked well. Hot water for showers was excellent. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was also excellent.

Breakfast was fresh. No beach views

Phenomenal place to stay! Booked this property twice on our trip to Brazil. The staff was fantastic from start to finish. We arrived early and our room wasn’t quite ready but they were set up to allow you the ability to store your luggage and change to enjoy the rooftop pool and bar. I left my oura ring the first stay and they found it and kept it over a week without us even having a follow up reservation. Forgot to put the sign on our room for no house keeping one day. There was stuff all over the place including a MacBook and tons of cash but not a penny or item was missing and everything was neatly placed on the tables around the room to make the bed and refresh the bathroom. We were also offered a late checkout due to our late flight. Breakfast was phenomenal. Staff was always super friendly and helpful. I cannot say enough great things about this property!

breakfast was very good

beach view, nearby restauranats and bars, exceptional staff

Nice staff and perfect location

It was a great experience. It was my second time staying at this hotel. They have the best location and an amazing breakfast!

It was great. Right in front of the beach. Friendly staff. Great rooftop with an incredible view

Great location and clean room… but all in all poor value for money. Amenities are meh and the property is quite old… I had multiple misunderstandings with the staff… laundry service I had to pay 60usd for a few t-shirts because they understood Express, also needed and extra night (after 7 nights booked) and they only offered me a room at double what I paid…. Staff did not care about the laundry misunderstanding and just charged me.. for that price, very unprofessional and unfriendly. Not coming back, sorry.

Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Clean room. Have stayed here multiple times and always excellent.
