Pros:

The location is stunning! It's worth upgrading to a room with sea view because that's the most attractive feature of this hotel. The roof top view is also fantastic. That part of Copacabana is much quieter than down south, highly recommended.
Breakfast buffet has many options.
Despite the negative points, I enjoyed my stay and would consider coming back off-season again.

Cons:

Very soft, partly worn-out mattress. Poorly soundproofed room, but ok if not traveling in high season.
The rooms have had better days (walls have some marks, parts of wooden panels appeared used up).
While the room was overall clean, details show that cleaning lacks diligence (floor was dusty, bathroom faucet was dirty).

Bon 4 étoiles mais a tout pour faire encore mieux.
Pros:

L’emplacement était parfait et le petit déjeuner de qualité, avec un choix très varié. Selon moi, des jus de fruits fraîchement pressés et un bar à tapioca auraient été un vrai plus. La chambre offrait une vue exceptionnelle sur le Christ Rédempteur et la plage de Copacabana. Enfin, le rooftop était particulièrement agréable : c’est sans aucun doute le principal atout de l’hôtel.

Cons:

Le personnel m’a semblé peu accueillant, notamment parce qu’il ne nous saluait pas systématiquement lorsque nous entrions dans l’hôtel. Une aide pour monter les bagages jusqu’à la chambre aurait également été appréciée. Concernant la chambre, certains équipements présentaient des dysfonctionnements : la douche ne fonctionnait que partiellement et les toilettes ne fonctionnaient pas correctement.
