I stayed just over 2 weeks and really enjoyed my stay. The facility appears new and modern, with a beautiful rooftop patio. The room was beautiful: daily housekeeping, confortable bed, great water pressure - no complaints. I also enjoyed the location, very easy to take the bus or subway to outside tourist spots but also getting a more local experience in the centro area. It is close to Lapa - the party district (sometimes music can be heard at night so I would bring ear plugs if your a light sleeper). Next door there was construction, and they worked at odd times and were very loud (this was the only inconvenience but this has nothing to do with the hotel). Otherwise, everything was perfect and i felt safe as a solo traveler.

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.

O hotel é perto de feirinha, praias e bares. Equipe super solicita e agradáveis. Quarto limpo e completo. O café da manhã estava uma delicia, café coado e cappuccino uma delicia!
Meu único ponto é sobre a porta do chuveiro, não estava fechando direito e molhou bastante o quarto, mas logo me ajudaram com algumas toalhas/tapetes.

Achei um hotel justo, mas muito caro pelo que entrega. O quarto nao estava suuuper limpo, na varanda, pelas fotos tinham cadeiras que quando cheguei nao tinham mais, o café da manhã foi super simples.. se fosse metade do preço, acho que valeria muito a pena. A equipe foi bem prestativa, e esse foi o ponto alto da estadia.
