Solo traveling female. I unfortunately cut my stay short here and went back to a previous hotel. I was booked here for 4 days, I am traveling to Brazil after visiting 4 countries before (in 1 trip). I had multiple rolling luggage (3) bapack totebag. The security guard was kind enough to take my largest luggage down the flight of stairs to reception. Once I was checked in, I was told my room was on the 2nd floor (pink buildings) and there was no elevator in that area. I asked if someone would be able to help with my bags, mainly just needed help with the 1 larger/heavier luggage (under 50lbs but just big for me) I was told no, they didn't have anyone. I found that odd and just said ok and went to my room. I lug everything upstairs to the room and it's ok. The room is older, boutique style. The bathroom is decent but dated, there was shower gel provided as hand soap at the sink which i found odd but not a big deal. Here's why i had to leave: mosquitoes. I understand it is tropical but the amount of mosquitoes i was swatting within the first hour was insane. I have stayed in hostels in Cuba and other parts of Brazil (Paraná) and didnt have them IN the room (also staff always offers to help you with bags). I ordered dinner delivery and sat at the pool area to eat and guess what I see, a bellman with a luggage cart bringing someone's luggage to the tall white building. So I'm not exactly sure what that was about. I ultimately left after the first night and don't regret it

Food was just ok in my opinion. Breakfast was free but left a lot to be desired. Very clean and secure place but once you leave the premises you’re on your own and may see any and everything. But that’s all over Lapa. So if you’re faint of heart this may not be for you.

This property is beautiful. There is an older section that has great character and architecture. This is where we stayed. It was a very great experience. There is also a more modern part of the property with all the modern conveniences. Once inside the facility it is very clean, safe, and inviting. However, the area of the city is less desirable. Like most cities, there are areas less clean and less safe. This is the area of the city that this hotel is in. Plenty of trash and unsavory smells in the area around the hotel. If you are a little adventurous and cautious this is a wonderful hotel to stay in. Again, the hotel and staff met or exceeded everything we could want for our trip to Rio.

This is a beautiful luxury hotel, renovated from an old historic building, great location in downtown, which also means that you are near the great music bars in Rio, but also the surroundings could get tricky at night. The breakfast and swimming pool were great. Overall, a fantastic option if you want to stay in the Lapa area.

To be fair the location isn’t the best Rio de Janiero can offer but if you seek a clean hotel with an amazing pool area at lower cost than this hotel will appeal.

The staff are very friendly & attentive. I would like to make a special mention to Sasha on reception who booked a tour for me which took a while due to coomunications issues with the tour operator, not Sasha. I think we focus too much on leaky showers etc & not enough on the hotel staff who really go out of their way to make their guests feel valued.
