"Good location. Walking distance to a few supermarkets. About 2 minutes walk to a really nice beach. On a bus route. Breakfast was a nice selection of hot and cold and opened at 6:00 until 10:00. Be aware the bottled water in the room is not free. Construction meant there were some disruptions. Also, the slow-close doors need to be adjusted to avoid the disruptive slamming that occurs at late and early hours. "

"I liked the property location to business, bars, restaurants and relatively close to the beach. The breakfast at the restaurant was great as well as the restaurant. There is a bar/pool in the penthouse where I met some other nice guests. The rooms were small, but had everything needed (minifrige, closet, safe). I am definitely going to consider this hotel for my next visit to Rio if the price is right. "
