Nice hotel, but needs renovation
Pros:

1. Location is perfect - just a short walk from Ipanema beach.
2. The staff is friendly and helpful.
3. Breakfast had many different options, including exotic fruits.

Cons:

1. We were given a room for disabled people on the first floor, even though we didn’t ask for it. There are probably people who would need this room more.
2. The pool and bar area needs a bit of renovation and the glass needs to be washed. It looked kinda dirty and unpleasant.
3. The toilet gets clogged very easy and very often.
