The hotel is very well placed in a five minutes walk from SDU airport. Has an incredible view from the balcony towards Guanabara Bay, Aterro Park and Sugar Loaf. Price is reasonable and it looks like everything is either new or renovated. Perfect for short stays, if you need to be close to the downtown airport or either Cinelândia, with all the theatres, museums and Rio history.

Cons: I wish I could give this accommodation zero stars and that’s solely for the utter lack of empathy shown by the front desk staff and especially a woman named I think Ali?. When I walked in Feb 17 after being assaulted and robbed right around the block from the hotel, and announced it at while she was at the front desk, she could not give a toss. Neither did the security guard. No one offered any assistance or concern whatsoever. Even when I asked her to reach the manager for a first aid kit, she seemed bored. He in turn seemed surprised, but again ZERO sympathy offered. This dismal attitude is on par with the rubbish attitude of the reception in general. When you walk in no one says hello, and when you leave no one says goodbye. They seem completely and utterly uninterested in the guests. Absolutely appalling “customer service.” These people should not be in business or should be retrained immediately. The area is complete rubbish so 100% do not recommend staying here during carnival as that that was when I got assaulted by walking to get lunch around the block from the hotel. There was almost no one around in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, special later in the afternoon. I do not recommend staying here even during no Carnival because even though the immediate area is busier during the work hours (the Italian, French and German consulates are literally around the block!), it’s really unsafe at night and you HAVE to take an Uber.
