It’s a good hotel. The room is big and nice and staff is super helpful, pool is good. Breakfast is good as well. The area is close to the beach in Copacabana, at night it might get creepy, but ok still. My only critic is the room at some points during the day smelled like pipi, so did the AC.

Reception was wonderful. Our host spoke some English and was even a fan of American music. He made us feel at home and we were given a nice room. The room was spacious and clean and the A/C worked perfectly. Breakfast the next morning was wonderful. No complaint. I would stay there again and recommend it 100%.

Everything was excellent. Great staff. You can book directly with the hotel (friends can also even if they are not staying in the same hotel). Amenities are great with a nice rooftop pool. The restaurant is five star food. The location is a 5 minute walk from Copacabana beach and an 8 minute walk from Ipanema beach.
