good food and convenient to local entertainment
The hotel employees were welcoming and friendly, especially the front desk and in the restaurant. Both buses and Metro stations are very close and in safe areas.
The evenings offered a unique entertainment venue being in the Lapa district, which was fun and presented great local food - you just need to get past the dirty nature of old neighbourhoods.
Tours can be arranged at front desk.

Good, affordable downtown Rio choice
I stayed 4 nights in room 910. Check in was fast and my room was good except that I had reserved a queen bed and was given a room with two twins. After asking for a different room, I wAs told there were no others available. I ended up putting the two beds together and had the maid put queen sheets on them to hold them together. It worked. AC and internet and hot water all excellent. Staff was very personable by Rio standards. I would suggest a room on a high floor in front. That way it's mostly quiet but you still get some view. I would recommend this place if you want to stay in downtown Rio.

Terrible Experience
This hotel was not as advertised on Expedia - dirty, small, not well-appointed, and not in a good part of town. The single wall socket fell out of the wall when I tried to plug in my phone charger. I left after a single night, and the hotel would not refund my money. Expedia has been slow to refund as well. Overall - a dealbreaker for me using Expedia ever again.

Melhoria necessária
Já havia me hospedado no hotel há alguns anos e tinha uma ótima impressão dele. No entanto, fiquei um tanto decepcionada. O hotel, de modo geral, está mais decadente (limpeza, conforto das camas, qualidade da roupa de cama e banho e café da manhã). O atendimento pessoal foi bom, nos atendendo num problema em que tivemos que trocar de quarto e a governança foi muito solícita na busca de objetos perdidos.

Hotel had a great location. The hotel it self really needs a renovation. Everything was old and dusty looking. Could use some modern furniture etc.

Bem localizado, quarto bom, mas os funcionários às vezes enrolados. Área do mezanino necessita de limpezas um pouco mais recorrentes, dado que nem todos os hóspedes são educados para limpar as sujeiras que fazem. Café da manhã não inicia no horário marcado, tendo atrasado mais de 50 minutos (desde a abertura do salão) até a disponibilização de todos os itens do café. Tive que atrasar a chegada ao trabalho para não gastar mais e sentir fome durante o expediente. No geral, um pouco desorganizado, mas se fizer um pouco de vista grossa, dá para aproveitar legal.
