Pros:

la atención fue espectacular, desde que llegamos a la recepción, nos recibieron los equipajes, lo guardaron hasta el check in, nos recomendaron muchas cosas.
el gerente, la verdad, un 1000. muy profesional, pero muy humano y cercano, preocupándose de cada detalle.
de hecho me festejaron el cumpleaños en el desayuno como sorpresa.! muy recomendable.
vuelvo a rio, y vuelvo ahi, sin dudarlo.

Lugar ideal para visitar Rio
Pros:

Ubicación excelente que permite ir a pie a las playas tanto de Copacabana como de Ipanema. Además cerca de la estación de metro y de paradas de ómnibus para trasladarte en la ciudad. El desayuno se sirve desde temprano 6am, que es ideal para poder salir luego a los distintos paseos e incluye opciones variadas. El personal con quien tuvimos contacto fue muy atento. Al respecto de la habitación, nos habían asignado una en los primeros pisos y hacia atrás que para 1 día no nos importaba, pero dado que ibamos a estar 5 días, conseguimos cambiarla al día siguiente a un piso alto y al frente. La presión del agua es muy buena. La vista desde la azotea donde está la piscina es muy linda. Suministran toallas para uso en la piscina ó playa.

Cons:

Hace falta disponer de espejo en la habitación, si uno se quiere ver debe hacerlo en el baño.

Boa localização, custo-benefício médio
Pros:

Excelente localização, perto tanto da praia de Copacabana quanto de Ipanema. Bom banheiro, incluindo o chuveiro, e boa cama. Bom café da manhã.

Cons:

Ar-condicionado do meu quarto não funcionava direito. Sinal ruim de wi-fi. Não tem espaço de trabalho (não havia na descrição, só um comentário).

Limpieza de la habitación inexistente
Pros:

El trato del personal y la ubicación. Muy cerca de la playa de copacabana.

Cons:

La limpieza de la habitación brilla por su ausencia. Las camas no las hacen, las toallas no las cambian, no limpian la habitación…
