The hotel is situated in a nice neighborhood area with a variety of great restaurants to choose from. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but a bit small with limited space to move around. The service was professional and polite, offering useful tips and guidance. The location was perfect for shopping and dining, although not overlooking the sea directly. The dining experience offered a delicious array of dishes but lacked proper distancing measures. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is situated in an excellent location near Ipanema beach, ideal for exploring the beaches and enjoying nearby shops and dining options. The rooms, though not overly sophisticated, are tastefully decorated with a charming simplicity and always kept clean. The service is a mix of professional and helpful staff alongside moments of possible disinterest or rudeness. The dining experience may be a bit disappointing compared to other hotels. The overall value for money is good, especially considering the fantastic location near the beach and shopping street.

Rooms
8.0
The rooms, located on the first floor with many ACs on the window, are cozy and decorated with wood furniture and beautiful photographs, radiating a simple charm. Despite being in a small area not exclusive to the hotel but within the same building, they are always kept clean after a day of touring.
Service

The service was a mix of professional, polite, and helpful interactions, with occasional moments of disinterest and rudeness. However, the staff is generally helpful, and the hotel offers great amenities like fast wifi and an ideal location for dining and exploring.
Location

The location is excellent, right on the best shopping street of Ipanema, just two blocks from the beach. The friendly and helpful staff, great Wi-Fi coverage, comfortable beds, and various amenities like beach towel rentals and a small gym contribute to a positive overall experience.
Dining

The dining experience, while providing adequate service, might leave a bit to be desired compared to other dining experiences in the area. However, the restaurant within the small shared space in the building does the job.

The hotel offers nice facilities like a rooftop common area, a small gym, and provides guests with beach towels, umbrellas, and chairs for convenience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. Although the rooms were small, dark, and somewhat depressing, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, being close to Ipanema beach and other attractions, but the lack of an on-site bar was a drawback. The dining experience was good overall, with some tasty options but lacking in certain aspects.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was exceptional, close to both Ipanema beach and Lagoa, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were quieter than expected, but being near the top floors helped. However, the rooms, especially on the first floor, were a bit noisy due to the AC units on the windows, and I couldn't switch rooms despite staying for three nights with daily client turnover.

Rooms
6.0
The rooms were packed with tables, and the towels were not always clean. Single-glazed windows didn't offer much soundproofing.

The service had its ups and downs. While some staff members were friendly and helpful, others were rude, and the room cleanliness was not consistent.
Location

The hotel's location was exceptional, being a short walk from Ipanema beach and Lagoa. However, there was a lack of English spoken by most of the staff, which was challenging in a tourist-heavy area.
Dining

The dining experience had its highlights and drawbacks. While the food was delicious and satisfying, the menu lacked variety and leaned towards very sweet options.
