Noisy”

There is a weird, overhead noise that permeates the entire building. It sounds like an airplane hovering over and it circulates every single minute. Very weird, very disturbing; everyone heard it but didn't know what it was. It made sleeping challenging. The location is sketchy but so is most of Rio. The breakfast was decent, not many options for vegetarians but everything was fresh. 20 minutes from the airport, I saw lots of airline staff around the hotel. Clean bathroom, comfy bed that I would've liked to enjoy if not for the weird building noise.

Friendly staff

Plus points: roof top pool, same day laundry, room safe, language choices on TV, good size rooms. Minus points: No security chain on door and no viewer. No alarm clock. Note: internet is not wifi as claimed, but cable available from reception for in room internet. The hotel is well located for the Centro business district and is close to Santos Dumont airport. It is surrounded by hi rise buildings although some rooms do have a limited view across Guanabara Bay.

Hotel in CBD area close to convention sites”

It is a better business hotel in the CBD area as compared to others and walking distance to the convention sites. Beds are comfortable, breakfast was great and a not too bad gym for working out. Wi-Fi is provided in the room. Busy area during the weekdays and nearby to tram stops and many eateries around. Although is a 4 star hotel, bring own toiletries as it does not provide. Only the shampoo and conditioner was provided. Weekends sees lesser foot and car traffic and only some shops are opened and most closed in the night. Not ideal to travel alone at night.

located very near to the port, clean rooms, friendly staff

Nothing special. The rooms was clean but a little bit small. The location was alright. Had to walk a little bit further to get to some shops across the streets. Simple and this hotel will be wonderful for those whom are here for the international cruise as the port is just within 5 - 8 minutes walking distance away from this hotel so you will not need to spend for a cab to reach the port.

OK big business-style hotel”

rooms are clean

No WIFI in the rooms, only in reception. Hotel is located in a very quiet business area, so don't expect to be able to get a drink or food anywhere nearby. Rooms are clean, if a little dated and starting to show their age a little. Gym on the top floor has 6 running machines and one weights machine, but everything looked to be well maintained and it was very clean. Pool is deceptively small vs the picture on the website. Breakfast buffet is nothing special, and is rather heavy on the Brazilian favourites of ham and cheese, although there's also lots of fruit available too. Short walk to the metro from where you can quickly and cheaply travel down to Ipanema or Copacobana beaches.

Convenient Location within City Centre

i had stayed at this hotel for just one night. got there with a very different expectation of a 4 star hotel. i got their early hence was prepared to wait. came in the afternoon after taking a city tour. hotel itself is fine as long as you do not enter the room. room furniture, fittings, amenities in the bath room were very sub standard and were below 2 star standard. bed sheets / cover were worn out, furniture was very old and made of ply. bathroom had only soap and shower gel in sub standard wraps. tv was atleast 10-12 years old. room size was very very small. i would strongly recommend potential visitors to look for better options. definitely not worth the money i paid for it. still regret it.
