Disappointing
If you are looking to stay in the city center (which unless it has a specific reason, I wouldn't recommend), then this hotel has the perfect location. It is right around the corner from the famous stairs Escadaria Selarn. And it is quite cheap for the fact that breakfast is included. The young man at the front desk was very accommodating on arrival and early check-in was possible, even free breakfast. But that's where it ends unfortunately.
First of all, no one at all spoke English at this hotel. So it was hard to get any recommendations. And the street gets very noisy at night (especially around the weekend), so it was almost impossible to sleep without thick earplugs and a pillow over my head. The curtains were torn and the room was very very tiny. But what made my experience the worst were breakfasts. The man who is supposed to be wiping the tables was extremely rude, touching my stuff without asking or even saying hello, and shouting random things in Portuguese in a very aggressive tone. On top of that, tables were constantly dirty and full of plates, so there was nowhere to sit every morning. Even though the whole staff team is sitting there having breakfast and acting like they own the place, shouting and singing out loud while the hotel guests are trying to enjoy their breakfast at peace. Breakfasts were definitely something I wasn't looking forward to and always had to rush through them to get it over with as soon as possible. Also, the neighborhood is very sketchy and I felt unsafe walking around even during the day.

Poor
The receptionist that was there when I arrived was very friendly and helpful, but that's the only good thing I can say from my stay. At this hotel, I had one of the worst experiences of my life so far.
Too much noise from the street, do not attempt to go there if you intend to sleep at night. Not only is Lapa a bustling busy neighbourhood in Rio, but the location of this hotel is also at the centre of a lot of dodgy stuff. It was only chosen because I was supposed to sleep there for 1 night before my flight from St Dumond's airport, which is very close to the hotel; but guess what: I couldn't close my eyes for a minute as the street was full of people screaming (in a very creepy/scary way) the whole night. Later I learned from the uber driver that the surroundings of the hotel are also a point for prostitution (the reason why the frightful screams). A freakshow and a traumatic experience I recommend avoiding if you can stretch your budget a little more.
