Pros:

The breakfast at this hotel was particularly good, the coffee was not that good but that seems to be the case in most of Brazil. On the other hand fruit is something done very well in the country and after two months here this hotel had for the firjlst time very good mango together with pineapple, honey dew melon etc. Also a very good new cooked dish pieces of tasty sausage fried with capsicum, onion and tomato. The hotel presents well and the room was comfortably o.k.

Cons:

The room looked o.k. but was actually quite small and there were a few deficiencies. One was a lack of furniture to put and hang belongings. I cannot remember a seat. Another minor annoyance was the water tap in the bathroom which has to be constantly pressed to produce needed water. Also there was no bedcover and the weather was cool. I asked for and received an additional top sheet.

Acorde.
Pros:

Buen hotel. Pleno centro de Río. A la vuelta de las escaleras de Selaron y a 4 cuadras de la catedral.

Cons:

Externo al hotel. Para que se den una idea. La zona es como si fuera Constitución.

Custo benefício excelente ao meu ver . O café da manhã foi melhor do que eu esperava .
Pros:

O café da manhã é excelente., O quarto e banheiro estava bem limpo, chuveiro ótimo e ar condicionado funcionando bem. Os funcionários são ótimos, mas teve um que foi quando eu cheguei que ele è mais ríspido, mas ok.
È um hotel com instalações mais antigas mas muito bem conservado .
Custo benefício excelente

Cons:

Só uma observação que eu tive dificuldade em achar o botão que liga o ar condicionado pq estava ao lado da cama na parte onde o espaço era pequeno e eu não acessava .
