Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had spacious rooms with comfortable beds and was conveniently located just 50 meters from the beach, making it a great spot for beach enthusiasts. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff ensuring smooth transportation arrangements. However, the daily fight for sunbeds was a drawback, and the dining experience, while plentiful, was described as basic.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was amazing, just a stone's throw away from a lively street with plenty of dining options and the beach, the room I had didn't offer a great view due to obstructions. The service was friendly but lacked in helpfulness. The dining options were a bit underwhelming compared to what I expected. On the positive side, the facilities were decent.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms provided good side views of the beach and the Christ the Redeemer statue, offering nice and comfy accommodations. The bathroom, while very clean, was not the most modern. The service was just so courteous and awesome, with helpful and friendly staff. The location was unbeatable, just a stone's throw away from Ipanema Beach and surrounded by great bars and restaurants. The dining was acceptable but bland, lacking in variety. The facilities were average, with some areas showing signs of wear and tear.
My stay at the hotel on the Ipanema Floor was a mixed experience. The top floor room I stayed in, while clean, showed significant wear and tear with chipped paint and dated decor. The cramped space was a downside considering the size of the hotel.
The hotel at the Dallas airport has cheap beds that are extremely firm, and the internet barely works. My room on the top floor was clean but very dated, showing significant wear and tear, with paint chipped in the tiny bathroom and a shower over a bath with uneven water flow due to unattended limescale.
The hotel's location is perfect, just a block away from the famous Ipanema beach, surrounded by various restaurants and bars. The rooms were a bit of a letdown as there was a water leakage issue causing the ceiling to crumble. The service was mixed with helpful assistance for credit card problems yet lacking in friendliness. The dining experience was satisfactory but not exceptional, and the facilities need some improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just one block away from the beach with plenty of nearby restaurants. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a direct ocean view, but the firm beds were not the most comfortable and the internet was unreliable. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly friendly and helpful. The dining experience was satisfying with a good selection of breakfast items. The facilities were well-maintained, making my stay enjoyable overall.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were big and clean, but the mattresses were very uncomfortable. The service was efficient and helpful, especially when booking day tours and providing general information. The location, just one block from the beach, was great, although there was some odor issue at times. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of fresh foods. The facilities offered were satisfactory.
Returning to the hotel, the rooms felt fresh and cool with special toiletries awaiting, but some areas smelt very damp. While one of the rooms seemed a bit dated and large but not so great, the overall stay was comfortable and relaxing.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a nice view of the Corcovado and the Christ statue, although the hotel is not right in front of the beach. The service was extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating, although organizing an airport transfer was a bit of a challenge. The location was pretty convenient, close to the park hosting the Sunday 'Hippie Fair' flea market, but the hotel is in desperate need of refurbishment. The dining experience was good, with a wide range of buffet choices available until 11 am. The facilities were satisfactory, but the hotel was a bit pricey for the amenities offered.
