The hotel provides a unique experience with spacious and aesthetically pleasing rooms that give a cozy vibe. The staff truly goes the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable, although the location can be a bit tricky to navigate. Dining options were varied and delightful, but the area surrounding the hotel isn’t the most inviting. Overall, it offers great value for the price, but you might want to be cautious about exploring outside.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which offered stunning panoramic views of the skyline and Guanabara Bay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, complete with a sprawling bathroom that had both a walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub. The service was exceptional, and I really appreciated the small details like complimentary appetizers. However, the location felt a bit off due to some surrounding buildings that made me uneasy, particularly after dark. Overall, it was a great experience with just a couple of drawbacks regarding the area.
