We loved the ocean view from our room. Amazing customer service, especially Isabella at the front desk. She was incredibly welcoming, professional and went above and beyond to help us extend our stay. Delicious food, especially breakfast. Highly recommend. Helder Caetano

4/10 Fair

Most staff very friendly & helpful. NO TV station with English language. Too restrictive on allowing friends or family to ENTER hotel, to visit friends & family. Little English in menus or wine lists. For Portuguese speakers, a good hotel with decent prices. And nice location on ocean beach. But for English speakers, we would NOT recommend CDesign Hotel.

The hotel is stylish, though my room was on the smaller side. The restaurant is located by the waterfront, and Santos, our server, went the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience. My only complaint is that the WiFi signal was poor in the room.

Good, but not as great as hoped

We only stayed one night and had tried to arrange for early check in but still had delays in accessing our room. We were able to book at the spa which was wonderful. Overall the comfort and location of the hotel was great and enjoyed the views. Even saved the pool playlist on Spotify!

I've been staying at this hotel since 2022, based on a recommendation. I've lived in the United States for 30 years, and I'm delighted with the place. The route flexibility, security, and especially all the staff are excellent. I always arrive super tired, and the staff are always there to help me! I go to Brazil frequently for work; my job is in aviation. And this last time, a young man named Rodrigo was spectacular!! The hotel was full, with events, and he did everything to accommodate me. And I hope CDesign appreciates this young man!! He has admirable talent. An excellent employee.

Amazing staff! Even if there is a language barrier they ensure you are well informed and know that they are at your expense. However, the facility as a whole was not very clean. My bedding had stains on the pillows and sheets. My curtains and towels had stains as well. The entire hotel is white but stains are very visible on the furniture in the lobby, restaurant, and pool area. Great hotel but definitely in need of a deep cleaning.

We had a very pleasant stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly and provided great service throughout our visit. The only downside was the location—it was quite far from most of the main tourist attractions and points of interest in Rio de Janeiro, so getting around took more time than expected. Overall, it was a good experience, especially if you don’t mind the extra travel time.
