They have the gym and it is off site cross the street. It is a nice gym and all you need to do is get a slip from the reception desk in order to use it.

The photos of the foyer and room were better than reality. The room was also on the small side. It looked bigger in photos. The lift was very old and slow. However I was comfortable staying at this hotel. It was quiet and safe and convenient. Walkable to many food options and the beach was a good walk away across many lanes of traffic. Breakfast was good. No real issues and I would consider coming here again.

Is a very convenient spot to be a lot of restaurants and food markets where you can buy fresh food.

As far as the air conditioning and the hot tub they worked excellently. The air conditioning worked a little too well at night. Everything functioned well.

My room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is excellent. The staff are efficient and attentive. The Hotel is quiet because it is on a small street but it is in a great position, minutes walk from two metro stations and Flamengo beach. It is only two metro stops to Copacabana beach and the central city.The local area is vibrant with many eateries, and I felt safe at all times.I think Mengo Palace is great value and I was very pleased with my choice for staying in Rio.

This was one of the few places where the hot water was actually hot water and not lukewarm. The hot water and the hot tub with excellent.

Great hotel

I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooms were very nice and I had the room with the jacuzzi which worked very well and it was very spacious but not so big that you thought you were in a swimming pool. The Wi-Fi worked very well. Some of the stuff is a little dated like the TV but it is a very cozy space. Everything worked well in the room to include the TV and it was surprisingly quiet. There are many restaurants close by as well. It's in a very good spot.

I stayed in their sweet with the jet tub which was very nice and the staff in general was very nice. The breakfast was okay but the only issue was the weakness of the Wi-Fi in the room. I had a lot of problems with getting a signal and was a having very difficult time trying to make plans and organize because of the inconsistency of the Wi-Fi. If they strengthen the Wi-Fi, this hotel would be outstanding.

Great staff

Didn't actually stay at Mengo Hotel. Hotel staff sent us to sister property next door for some reason.

We booked suite rooms with hot tubs. Rooms have much more space than we thought. Breakfast was great. They have varieties for breakfast, fresh fruits, and strawberry yogurt. Overall experienced were good.

Absolutely old ran down and unprepared to receive guests.

My family and I were very satisfied with our stay at this hotel, the overall experience was actually better than what I was anticipating.

Twin bed was difficult to sleep in. They need to upgrade and make double / queen beds the standard in every room.

old hotel in a very nice neighbourhood of Rio rooms very big but a bit dated wifi was decent cable tv adequate with plenty of english channels very safe area walking distance ( 5 minutes) to Flamengo beach which is not touristy one bit

Safe and very centrally located hotel. Close to metro, beaches, downtown Rio, and Santos Dumont Airport. It also provides free access to an excellent gym across the street. Very reliable WIFI. The only drawback was the lack of natural light in the room.

The hotel is In the Catete district. two blocks to a metro but, with. 4 of us, it was easier to take a cab. Breakfast is okay. You won't starve but, the selection is small. I had a problem with my room and the front desk manager, I've forgotten his name was very professional, spoke English well and changed my room. He was helpful for this situation and any questions I had about Rio. There is a small fridge in a receiving area in your room and there are plenty of markets on Catate St. Would I stay here again. Yes It is not the Marriott but, it worked well for my budget.

Not crowded in hotel. Breakfast with real eggs and good coffee. Staff helpful. Lots of marble tiles and small fridge which can help with stuff.

British 3 star standard. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast. Charged us for 4 beers despite only drinking 3 from the mini bar. Had to leave so didn't argue the point. Safe area close to centre and beach. Get a yellow cab to local attractions as the hotel organised cab to sugar loaf, which was more expensive than the return in a yellow cab.
