    Good spot. Cleanliness better than most in this price range. Resturants across the excellent price. Everyone is very friendly

    Good simple basic semi annual bleach, grout replacement new calking needed. WiFi is ok for your room cost but if on business not good at all

    Cleanliness could be improved. They do make-up the room daily by only making-up the bed and removing the trash but you have to pay extra to get your sheets and towels changed no matter how long you stay. They did not even changed my bedsheets and towels when I extended my stay for another week and when I asked, they told me I have to pay even though the extension of my stay was a different booking.

    Location was great. Very close to everything you need such as supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, bars, shopping malls, the metro station and also you could walk to Urca, Botafogo Beach and Copacabana beach from here. My room had the view of Christ the Redemeer from my balcony and window.

    No kettle in the room. Was advertised as being an apartment but was just a basic hotel room (one tiny fridge). Paid extra for a view but that was minimal. Breakfast was expensive for what was on offer so did not pay for it.

    I liked the property very much But to improve next time, it would be good to know where to put the rubbish. Needed instructions on how to operate the TV. The windows in the kitchen and bathroom. I wasn't sure if people could see in. There was nowhere to dry clothes. It said 'private beach'. This might be a mistake. It didn't matter though because the sea and beach was a very short walk.

    The host made me feel really welcome. I arrived early, so I was allowed me to leave my bags whilst the room was being cleaned. Then they took my bags to the room for me. A special touch was that they provided complimentary local snacks and drinks. I liked how it felt 'homely' and had little details like real plants and some artificial plants. There was an iron and ironing board, a clock, kitchen towels, lots of cooking utensils, cups, plates and cutlery, etc. Even magnets on the fridge of where to go and where to eat. I liked the no 'key system'. This made it so much easier going in and out plus you don't have to worry about losing your key or handing it back at checkout. There was a lift and security cameras plus a 24-hour security guard downstairs The space was laid out like a proper home.

    The room's furniture was a little old, the hotel's guests felt sketchy, the location is not super safe, but the hotel compensates with security tools such as elevators with access keys. I would not describe the place as family friendly.

    The front desk service was very friendly. The hotel also has a self-service laundry. The Gym is well equiped. The pool is also nice, but sunlight exposure by the pool is limited to specific hours.

    nodern apartment with great view but BAD customer service and slow Wifi
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Apartment
    • Stayed 14 nights

    I stayed here for 3 weeks (2 differents bookings). The 1st week I stayed in Apart 401, the view was good, but VERY SLOW WIFI! The 2-3 weeks I stayed in 1103, the air-conditioning did not work properly (not really cold air) so that it was HOT in the apartment. But with greater view! Ridiculous was the rule: within 14 days there was no change of bedsheets. It is said, you had to pay it extra! There is no difference if you stay for 1 night or 1 month, they give you only one time bed sheets. If you need fresh ones, sorry, you have to pay! It seems the management has a big problem. I really dislike the customer service (they sit somewhere in Brazil and offers customer services allover Brazil, they have other properties, not only this one in Botafogo).

    The location is very good, abou 5min walk from metro station Botafogo (best taking Exit E). Apart No. from 01 to 06 has great view to Christo Hill. which I like very much. The apartment itself is a bit old and overused, but still modern enough. The people at reception was always very friendly.

    Furniture are little bit worn out as well as floor. There were times when we didn't have WiFi even when going down to lobby.

    A view at the first place. It was a direct view at the statue of Christ. And part of Rio as well. Guys at desk were attentive. Helped us to print boarding passes for next point of travel and advice regarding money exchange.
