This hotel met my expectations. The staff was very professional, friendly and helpful to me at all times. The room was clean and comfortable and a location was nearly perfect for all of the activity I participated in. The breakfast was very well prepared plus the food from the hotel restaurant. Most importantly if I'm ever visit Copacabana again on vacation it's a big YES I will stay again.

Good option for Copacabana, we booked the luxo room with beautiful beach view. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was varied. Rooftop pool is small but quite nice if not busy. Check in and check out was quite slow, as there are only 3 desks and people seem to ask every random question they have in their mind, slowing down the process. Area felt very safe (even at night) with heavy police presence everywhere.
