Don’t be fooled by the pretty photos.

Liked:The pool area was lovely.
Disliked:The location isn’t safe for a solo female traveler. The bar staff ignored me and left me standing while they served Brazilians. My Portuguese is pretty bad, so I understand. But, the energy was less than welcoming. Also, I requested a double room and got 2 twin beds.

Liked:The hotel itself is so gorgeous, with a beautiful pool that you just need to dip into! The breakfast was extraordinary too, by far the best I had in Brasil. Location is excellent in the center of Rio, though be warned that it is still about an hour to the beach.
Disliked:I think the room could have been slightly cleaner.

Liked:The room was spacious and clean. The atmosphere in the hotel is very pleasant, the staff is very professional. The breakfast is good.
Disliked:Work should be done on the soundproofing of the rooms. The street where the hotel is located is somewhat unpleasant. There should be more vegan options at breakfast.
