Very friendly staff, a nice atmosphere among the other guests, they have a living room area where you can wait before/after checkout, they will store luggage for free. Great breakfast, great location.

Great hotel in Lapa near everything. Great breakfast, the wifi worked great, and the shower was the strongest and best that I have ever had in Brazil. Room was clean. I would have liked to stay longer, but they were out of space for the remaining days of my holiday, so I had to change hotels. I had a room with a window on the street in Lapa and it was not loud at all. Great place and I will visit them again the next time that I am in Rio, which is often. BTW, the neighbourhood is just fine. Absolutely no one is going to bother you at all. Even if someone tries to get your attention, just do not give them any. No one will bother you, so any reviews about the area are overblown.
Nothing! I do not understand why anyone would leave a negative review because for this price point, this is a great place to stay and the breakfast was tasty. Ignore any negative reviews that you see. Those people who left negative reviews should just stay home and not travel.

The room was decent.
Good breakfast.
Good service.
The location.
Lobby is small.
They were doing construction, so it was a bit messy.

This hotel is great, I honestly wish I knew about it sooner. It is not at all luxury, but it has everything a single person would need - even a couple would like this, although the space would be tight in the room. I was in room 504, the smell of bleach was incredibly strong and instead of complaining, I took that a plus that it was clean. The shower was amazing! The water was hot and the pressure was great. I didn't really sleep on the bed, as my stay was short, but I didn't like that the sheets were old and torn (see pic). But the location is great, just a 5 minute walk from the famous Selarón Steps and other nice restaurants and vendors. Also, I really like that they allowed me to book last minute and check in early, which was very quick. There are stairs and a working elevator. Breakfast is served daily in the morning for free, but I didn't get breakfast. Also, while locals may tell you exercise caution, especially late at night, I felt relatively safe as a solo traveler. I would definitely stay here again!
The sheets were visibly old and torn (see pic).

Fair
While staying in room 308 I was bitten by bedbugs over 80 to 100 times over the course of 3 nights I stayed there. I knew I was experiencing itching on day 2, but on day 3, the red marks started to show with extreme itching.
The property was perfect location for my needs and the staff was excellent and accommodating as long as u had google translate for Portuguese.
Breakfast was with a variety of food and very good.

Poor
The breakfast was poor with and eating area not cleaned as I expected. The location is very scarred it’s so clockwise to the favelas . And so danger. Especially during the night. I Truly don’t recommend this location for anyone

Friendly staff, big and clean room. Close to metro station and supermarkets. Nice quartier. Good buffet breakfast . Optimal position to visit everything.
Some noise from the street and on the corridor during the night but it was during the carnival period.

I like the Hotel, customer service, and staff. Everyone is very nice and helpful. They gave me some tips to move around.
Breakfast is good, and the hours that you can attend are from 6.00am to 10.00 am, plenty of time. It is also convenient if you book a tour early, as you have time to have breakfast.
I don't like the area where is located is not the best, but you can move from there by Uber. From there to Copacabana Beach cost R&24 on the afternoon, the price may differ from the time, morning usually are less expensive but night time ride rate increase,
