Children & extra beds
Parents or a legal guardian traveling with children under 18 years must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels to Brazil, if just one of the parents is traveling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorizing the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before traveling for more information.

The hotel itself is fairly good. The location doesn't look nice at all. I do feel sorry for them. It is not a dangerous area, but it looks really bad

O hotel é bom. Apesar de antigo e não ter guarda roupas, o hotel é limpo, a cama é boa, chuveiro quente muito bom. O ruim é a localização. Lugar muito feio, sujo, perigoso.
Mas o hotel é bom.

Es un hotel con camas de motel y piezas de motel, camas incómodas y con poca seguridad en su hotel. El entorno es complicado.

Hôtel décevant, bien placé pour le carnaval.interieur médiocre.la réceptionniste est totalement inapte ne serait que pour vous commander un taxi.Aucune empathie envers les touristes étrangers,ni aucun effort pour essayer de communiquer autrement qu en portugais

Foi a pior esperiencia que já tive na minha vida.
Paguei por 4 diárias, utilizei apenas na noite que cheguei porque era um quarto de motel com rouparia super gasta e encardida, colchão emborrachado e duríssimo, mobiliário antigo e com aspecto nojento.
Fiz chekin na noite do dia 03/12 e fiz chekaut na manhã do dia 04/12, eram 4 diárias e não me reembolsaram nenhum valor.
Tenho 52 anos e essa foi a pior esperiência de hospedagem da minha vida.

Gostei bastante, é confortável. Ainda mais pra região do centro do Rio de janeiro esse hotel tem boa qualidade em relação aos outros da região. Iria novamente.
Única coisa que senti falta foi secador de cabelo, (ferro de passar tinha, só pedir na recepção), e guarda roupas. No meu quarto tinha sauna, banheira mas não tinha guarda roupa. Pra minha viagem era legal só o básico, não precisava de banheira kk No mais recomendo

Com relação a limpeza, ao café da manhã e a recepção, foi tudo perfeito. Houve um contratempo nos primeiros dias com a água, no período da manhã faltava, mas no terceiro dia foi arrumado. Esse foi o único contratempo que tive, de resto foi ótimo, a recepção é 24h, então pude passear sem me preocupar com a hora.
