Great place
Pros:

Super close to the beach, really liked this area, staff were super lovely

Cons:

I didn’t realize the pool is the small water feature in the photo, I guess I thought that was more of a entrance to the hotel. Anyways it’s fine.

One of the elevators has a weird smell at the end of the day

Decent hotel for the money.
Pros:

Location was great. A few blocks from the beach but close to everything. Area seemed quite safe. Breakfast was just OK. Juice was like colored water.

Cons:

Night check in staff were slow and disorganized it appears. Electronic door lock to room malfunctioned. Response to open the door was a fairly quick.

Midtown hotel close to Copacabana beach.
Pros:

This is an ok hotel located very
Close to Copacabana beach in the heart of Rio. The staff are fairly helpful especially Ricardo in the lobby managing the bags. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. Good shower. Breakfast was ok but providing for mass group so no ordered items. The Ac worked well. I would stay here for 1-2 days but probably choose other hotel if stalling to relax and for vacation. Despite some terrible reviews I didn’t have anything taken at this location which was a worry.

Hotel en mauvaise état et très sale .
Pros:

Ríen du tout ! S’ s’était un séjour de 3 nuits auxquelles Ils ont d’abord chargé ma carte la première nuit ensuite au check in ils m’ont tout rechargé de nouveau avec l’ argument que booking allait me rembourser le jour suivant et jusqu’à présent je n’ ai toujours rien reçu sur ma carte .

Cons:

Hotel en carence de propreté tout est très sale les vêtements de lit en tres mauvaise état . Le lit en soit est très abîmé . Lit très inconfortable et les chambres sont exagérément bruyant sans isolement on entend l’ ascenseur tout le temps ainsi que le gens qui passent dans les couloirs . Cet endroit n’ a rien d’ un hôtel 4 étoiles .

Von Royalty ist hier nichts zu sehen. Nettes Personal aber sehr veraltetes Hotel.
Pros:

Lage gut, Betten bequem, Personal hilfreich und nett.

Cons:

Hotel ist sehr veraltet. Es lagen Haare auf dem Boden, die Bettdecke war mit Lippenstift verschmutzt, die Teller in der Frühstückshalle teilweise noch dreckig und aus Plastik, Sitze in der Frühstückshalle dreckig und alt.

Decent location but it was dirty.
Pros:

The location was good and the food was decent.

Cons:

Pool is tiny. Room was dirty, there was sand everywhere and there were signs of mould in the art on the wall. The blankets looked like they have dirt on them in places and the towels did too.

Pior hotel que já conheci na minha vida!!!!
Pros:

Foi horrível. 0 limpeza/higiene. Banheiros sujos e entupidos, ar condicionado horrível, passei calor a noite, luzes queimadas, inclusive a luz principal do quarto queimou, pedimos para trocar e não trocaram. Ficamos sem luz até o último dia. Foi terrível, nunca mais nos estagiaremos.
