This hotel was amazing, I felt safe, secure, and the people behind the desk were lovely. The pool is really nice and the breakfast and dinner are great. The vibes are very cool and it looks like the Grand Budapest Hotel from the Wes Anderson film. I will say though however, the location isn't the best. There are not many reliable food options near to the hotel and it is best to eat out nearer to the Copacabana or Ipanema etc and then return to the hotel to sleep as the food options nearby are a

Beautiful building! I got to stay in one of the “collection rooms” on the versnda by the pool and the room was very nice visually. Walls are extremely thin though so you hear everyone hanging about the pool at all hours, children running around and of course the neighbors room noise was clearly audible as well. Since this room had an especial metal key I was told not to leave the hotel with it and to leave it at the front desk. At one point I had to wait about 20 minutes for a staff member who w

There were good and there bad things. I stayed in the traditional room/the pink corridor by the pool. As lovely as the room was, it was very very noisy. We are talking loads of traffic, people passing by back and forth. One of the nights was the worst. The hotel had a private event in their restaurant and people were drunk standing here and there by the room windows talking, smoking with no consideration for the hotel guests. It was past 10pm, then past 11pm and continued. The event also had lit
