Categories

Cleanliness
8.7
Generally reported as clean and well-kept (several reviews say 'limpieza excelente' / 'limpeza'), with a few comments about worn towels and one mention of room cleanliness issues.
Service
9.2
Staff repeatedly praised as friendly and helpful (bag assistance, reactive reception, 'muy amables'); frequent comments from repeat guests about consistently good service.
Location
9.8
Consistently highlighted as the hotel's strongest feature: prime Ipanema beach location, great views, close to restaurants and landmarks ('La mejor ubicación', 'Excellent location').
Room Quality
8
Mixed feedback: some describe rooms as large and comfortable, others note small bathrooms, lack of a comfortable armchair and that some rooms feel a bit tired.
Amenities
7.9
Good beachfront amenities (free beach chairs/umbrellas, rooftop bar/terrace) but repeatedly criticized for a very small pool, limited lobby seating and occasional elevator issues.
Value for Money
6.2
Several reviewers explicitly state the hotel feels overpriced for the quality ('pessimo custo beneficio', 'precio calidad esta caro'); clear weakness versus peers.
Food and Beverage
7.8
Breakfast is often praised as good, but commenters request more variety and real espresso/cappuccino; restaurant experiences were mixed (excellent one night, weaker another).
Overall Experience
9.6
Overall positive: many repeat guests and 'pleasant stay' comments, driven by location and staff, tempered by small-pool, price and minor room/amenity issues.

Es funcional y esta muy bien ubicado.
Pros:

el desayuno esta muy bien. la piscina es muy chica, pero literal debe ser de 3X3. Esta en la terraza que tiene una vista espectacular a los cerros dos hermanos, laplaya de ipanema y el mar.

Cons:

precio calidad esta caro. El sheraton de leblon (al fondo) por ejemplo tiene instalaciones muy superiores a un precio inferior. Tiene el detalle de estar incrustado en la favela,pero hay pacto de no agresion y no pasa nada.

buena estadía en Río de Janeiro
Pros:

Muy bueno el desayuno y la ubicación. Te dan sillas y sombrilla para la playa lo que es muy práctico y útil. La atención del personal es muy buena, muy amables.

Cons:

La pileta es un poco chica, pero hay que reconocer que no hay mucho lugar para hacer algo más grande, y teniendo el mar enfrente, no es tan necesaria.
