Most staff very friendly & helpful. NO TV station with English language. Too restrictive on allowing friends or family to ENTER hotel, to visit friends & family. Little English in menus or wine lists. For Portuguese speakers, a good hotel with decent prices. And nice location on ocean beach. But for English speakers, we would NOT recommend CDesign Hotel.

I've been staying at this hotel since 2022, based on a recommendation. I've lived in the United States for 30 years, and I'm delighted with the place. The route flexibility, security, and especially all the staff are excellent. I always arrive super tired, and the staff are always there to help me! I go to Brazil frequently for work; my job is in aviation. And this last time, a young man named Rodrigo was spectacular!! The hotel was full, with events, and he did everything to accommodate me. And I hope CDesign appreciates this young man!! He has admirable talent. An excellent employee.

The hotel is stylish, though my room was on the smaller side. The restaurant is located by the waterfront, and Santos, our server, went the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience. My only complaint is that the WiFi signal was poor in the room.

Work trip. The views/ pool on the roof was stunning and relaxing. Not sure why it closed so early but it meant it couldn’t be enjoyed very long at night. Music was so loud if you were on the beach side it was very very hard to sleep some nights. Staff was nice.

Best staff ever!

Fantastic hotel in a great location. Amazing, friendly staff and made us feel very welcome ( especially Anissa and Lucas) We are visiting from Australia and travelling on bicycles. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms very comfortable. Only downside was booking in to use the gym then finding it taken up with personal trainers which made it hard for us to do our own workout. However the pool and spectacular views made up for everything! Highly recommend.

Amazing staff! Even if there is a language barrier they ensure you are well informed and know that they are at your expense. However, the facility as a whole was not very clean. My bedding had stains on the pillows and sheets. My curtains and towels had stains as well. The entire hotel is white but stains are very visible on the furniture in the lobby, restaurant, and pool area. Great hotel but definitely in need of a deep cleaning.

The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Really enjoy our stay.Although it was far from everything but uber was always readily available even at at 4am. Dinning was good.only issue was language barrier as I needed shower gel and they got me a bar of soap so.learn some Portuguese!! Oh and if you getting ocean front room double check the balcony as some of them are the smallest in the world.Mine could only fit a folding chair.(which is due to the building design)...so in short book if you want a fancy design and modern hotel and dont if you want something in the heart of the action and not about the uber life. Great hotel regardless.i love it.

We had a very pleasant stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly and provided great service throughout our visit. The only downside was the location—it was quite far from most of the main tourist attractions and points of interest in Rio de Janeiro, so getting around took more time than expected. Overall, it was a good experience, especially if you don’t mind the extra travel time.
