Was very apprehensive about staying in Lapa but after arriving I felt so much better. The hotel is in a perfect spot which made it easy to see Santa Teresa, the Lapa arches and sample local nightlife in Lapa. The staff were all so helpful and made our stay perfect. Would definitely stay again if I come back to Rio.

It’s a decent old hotel in a sketchy area. The grocery store across the street & restaurant in next door corners were very convenient. The safe in the room didn’t work, shower had good strong pressure and continuous HOT water. Shower was awesome. A/C was also great! Telephone didn’t work. TV had limited no sub title channels, Breakfast was ready at 6AM everyday. Coffee was good & strong. A variety of Pastries every morning that were good. Juices were watered down. It’s was scrambled eggs & weiners in sauce every morning. If you can upgrade. Do so. One of my travel mates didn’t it was bad. I did & it was good, other mate upgraded above me & had a bigger room with a balcony.

Kind and helpful personell. Room was small an unpractical, but it worked. Toilet and shower was in a separate room in the hallway. Room was dark.. wires(looked hot-wired) stikking out from lamp. Some lamps not working. Dark in the hallway. Had to use flashlight to find my self into the room. Breakfast was good. Sketchy neighbourhood.... dirty, much traffic, people sleeping in the streets. I did not like the location at all.

The staff are generally friendly. Our first check-in at 3pm at Monte Alegre was smooth by friendly staff. Two days after, we decided to stay two extra days and paid via Expedia. I reached front desk at 8am to inform our extension, the in- charge staff suddenly picky about my reservation displayed name (a English called name) not match my passport name (a Chineses Canadian). The other two staff appeared not willing to help me. I connected to Expedia and made them discussed on my phone. Still i got stuck with non-refundable paid, frustrated and upset. Looking back been travel latin America for 8 years, i never be picky on this issue. Expedia identified that's me who paid reservation and I carried my legal stamped passport. Why picky? Due to his bad mood or dislike Asian foreigner? My wife suggested check out first and come back later. As expected, we met same afternoon staff and he proceeded as what he did two days ago without issue. Hotel Managers should maintain good customer service spirit of front desks.

Hotel com ótimo custo-benefício, e uma boa opção para pernoite e curtas estadias. Staff prestativo e educado. O café da manhã é ótimo e bem servido. Os quartos são limpos e confortáveis. A arquitetura clássica, com mosaicos e janelas altas em arco com vitrais são um destaque à parte e adicionam ao charme do hotel. Alguns pontos que precisam de atenção: O hotel carece de amenidades no banheiro, como shampoo e cremes, touca de banho, pasta e escova de dente, por exemplo. Não há nem mesmo água no frigobar, e não há room service, nem refeições servidas no hotel fora o café da manhã. O hóspede deve comprar itens de primeira necessidade em um dos mercados próximos ou trazer consigo na viagem. A piscina não é aquecida e, por ser interna, quase não pega Sol. O hóspede precisa ir à praia caso queira se bronzear. Algumas soluções possíveis seriam: Instalação de totens de autoatendimento com amenidades, bebidas e alimentos embalados nas dependências do hotel. Inclusão de um serviço de chá da tarde das 17h às 21h mediante pagamento antecipado na recepção por um valor acessível (entre R$15 a R$30). O chá poderia contar com pão de queijo, mini croissants, misto e queijo quentes feitos na hora, caldos, sucos e refrigerantes, brigadeiros, mousses caseiras, geleias e torradas, canjica e outros pratos de fácil preparo, além de chás e cafés. Cafeteria self service no Hall de entrada, com cafés-cápsula adquiridos na hora e água filtrada.

Le positionnement est bon si vous voulez être dans le centre proche de la cathédrale. Sinon aucun interet. L’hotel donne partout sur le rue et est donc tres bruyant. L’entretien de l’hotel laisse vraiment à désirer et le petit déjeuner est bof. Je ne recommande pas cet hotel si vous avez plusieurs jours à passer à rio

Hotel bem localizado na Lapa, com ampla variedade de comércio no entorno. A decoração é charmosa e o hotel, silencioso. Os quartos são confortáveis e limpos, com apenas uma opção de cobertor para cada cama. Todos contam com decoração padrão: escrivaninha, armário com cofre, mesa de cabeceira e frigobar. Possui piscina, academia, sauna e restaurante, onde é servido somente o café da manhã. A piscina tem um tamanho bom, mas não é aquecida. De manhã não pega Sol; somente à tarde. O hotel é limpo e bem organizado Os funcionários são, em sua maioria, bastante prestativos, e fui muito bem atendida por 3 deles. Acessibilidade é bastante limitada para PcDs. O acesso aos elevadores a partir do Hall requer subir 2 lances de escada, e há mais um lance para chegar ao bloco 2. Para acessar o buffet do café da manhã, também há um lance de escadas no restaurante. O hotel não conta com muitas amenidades, disponibilizando somente 2 sabonetes pequenos e um secador de cabelo no banheiro. O chuveiro é muito pequeno. Faltam escova e pasta de dente, desodorante, touca de banho, shampoo, condicionador e outras amenidades que hotéis antigamente costumavam disponibilizar. Hotel excelente para estadias curtas. O café vai das 6h às 11h. O check in é às 14h. Fica a 5 min de carro do metrô e perto do Flamengo. Boa opção se você busca um lugar limpo e bem cuidado, com um farto café da manhã. Necessário trazer seus próprios itens de higiene pessoal, ou comprá-los em um dos mercados próximos.

El hotel está bien mantenido, habitación comoda y actualizada. Nos asignaron una habitación cuadruple superior que tenía 2 habitaciones, 1 con cama matrimonial y la otra con 2 camas, y un baño privado, cómoda y bien decorada el problema es que estaba al frente sobre la calle y era impresionantemente ruidosa, música fuerte de los puestos de la calle, tránsito, bocinas todo el tiempo hasta tardicimo en la noche y temprano en la mañana, gente a los gritos en la calle, un infierno realmente, tendrían que reemplazar las ventanas para insonorizar el ambiente.
