My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although small, were comfortable and clean. However, the humidity and mold in some areas were off-putting, making it feel stuffy. The noise levels made it challenging to get a good night's sleep, but the location offered great value between Copacabana and Ipanema.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. While the location was superb, nestled between Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, the room left much to be desired with its small size, insect infestation, and outdated decor. The service had its moments of friendliness, but the initial interaction was less than pleasant, and the demand for an additional tax payment upfront for a prepaid room was off-putting. The dining experience fell short with limited options, but the location couldn't have been better for beachgoers like me.
