The staff were excellent. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The roof top deck was such a great space to have a drink on and to look at the views of the river. The pool with swings and a bar was a great place to hang out in to cool down on a hot day.

A wonderful place to stay in Rio, with great views, a nice pool, and food service starting at 7am so you don’t miss out on morning flamingo tours, etc.

The room suite was good, clean and with a nice view. The wi-fi was excellent. But on the negative side the breakfast service was really poor, mediocre. It took us 45 minutes after the order to get our eggs. No choice in drinks. Poor choice in bearkfast stuff.

We liked the quaintness of the hotel. It was clean and presented well. We didn’t like the food that we had ordered. This is why we give the 4 star review.

Susan

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff are super helpful and friendly, the hotel is spotlessly clean. I really want to leave a good review as they are trying so hard, but there are shortcomings that could easily be addressed. The rooms are pretty basic and a couple of glasses, a hairdryer, extra towels etc would make a huge difference. Restaurant staff need proper training - they try very hard but seem unsure as to what they should be doing. They didn’t offer us the correct breakfast menu or explain options. There wasn’t much choice on the menu but food was ok.

Cindy

Disliked: Staff & service
We were welcomed with a drink, and sent up 3 flights of stairs to our room (my husband is 70), The room was mediocre and overlooked the kids playground. No waterview and not romantic. When I asked for a room with a view I was told NO. I was informed that waterview suites were only for families. I made it clear I wasnt on vacation to sleep outside a playground. As no alternative was offered we moved to another hotel,

Worst hotel ever

I have travelled all over the world. Stayed at many hotels from 1 star till 5 star. I know the hotel is a 3 star category, but it should be only 1 star. The bathroom was awful. I have never slept so bad in a bed. Even better to sleep on the floor. My wife even suggested we sleep in the car. And that never happened in our 25 years of marriage. No further comments before I get more upset. The price for that room should have been for free. And then I would still say no thank you. Has Hotel.com ever been at that hotel.

Hotel ubicado directo en el centro con vista especular en la laguna, habitaciones muy amplias y personal servicial. Por mejorar: una colchoneta en el colchón que se siente algo duro, quitar las lámparas viejas frente a los aires acondicionados no es higiénico, poner black out.
