The construction during our stay was not pleasant and the check in experience wasn’t great. At the pool they were not flexible or nice. The staff I love the most were the Camareiras, who cleaned our rooms. At the reception Marco was receptive.

The room service cleaning was great even with the construction they manage to maintain the cleanliness. But having construction at the pool area during my family stay was very annoying. The noise at the elderly room was unpleasant.

Can improve comfort
Had to change room once as the first room had a really strong smell coming from the bathroom drain. The second room had the AC flowing directly to our heads in the bed, so not comfortable. Had several issues with the card key throughout our 7- night stay. Breakfast is good and staff is friendly. Despite the issues above the rooms were comfortable

My stay was good I enjoyed the rooms with working ac, breakfast, and amenities. I reserved 2 rooms that were the same and they were very distinct from each other after checking in. One was very superior from the other in regards to upkeep, looks and space. I have no complaints the only thing i would mention is to, not have that difference in regards to quality and maintenance throughout the rooms. Other than that I had a great stay.

Staff were excellent. My best friend fell because her knee is bad. We had to book a stay for one more night due to her injury. The staff let us use the same room and we didn’t have to inconvenience my friend in pain. They got us a wheelchair. Around the hotel is noisy due to construction but our stay was excellent! Love the buffet breakfast!

The highlights were the breakfast—very good and diverse offerings—and the garage staff—always willing and quick with the car. Everything else was subpar at best. Rooms on the 11th floor smelled of swage. Bathroom did not have hot water. Room service menu was always out of some of the options. And the room cleaning staff kept forgetting things, like one evening I walked into my room to see I had no towels whatsoever. Would not stay there again.

PRECAUCION: En el 'Front Desk' tienen un rótulo indicando que ellos te proveen de agua pero cuando hicimos el 'check out' nos cobraron todas las botellas de agua que nos dejaban en la nevera todos los dias. Cuando le reclamé me indicaron que no incluia el agua embotellada. Solamente el agua que pidieras en vasos en el restaurante. Que en ningun hotel en el mundo el agua enbotellada en los cuartos era gratis, cuando yo sé, por experiencia, que eso no es cierto. En ningun lugar de la habitacion decia que iban a cobrar las botellas de agua. En cuanto a limpieza, encontramos jabones usados en la ducha. De lo demas, muy buena localizacion, a pasos de buenos lugares para comer y comprar. A pasos de la playa Flamengo y el desayuno bastante variado.

It was nice. Overall I would stay there again. We were on the second floor and it was really loud, so if you want a quiet room you should request one. Minor downfalls, my husband checked in after me and they wouldn’t give him a key. The sauna didn’t work. But a nice view from the roof. Food was pretty good. It was clean. Staff was very kind.

Rooms were clean however linen was not the best and the towels looked old. The shower and water pressure was great (best shower ever). Good breakfast and good in room service. I couldn’t figure out how to close the balcony door so I called the reception and they said someone would come over to show me how to close it however nobody showed up which it was a little stressful because I had a toddler in the room, Besides that it was a good stay.

Extra Charges
It was very difficult to actually get clean towels!! Most of there towels have some kind of stain on them. The other issue I had was all of sudden end of my stay they inform us that ohh you will be charged $7. BRL per water bottle that are in your room but nothing is in the room informing you of this extra charge so you would think that they are complementary. Once I was informed I walked across the street and bought 10 water bottles for $3BRL each. So beware of what you are being charged extra for, not being upfront about it.
