Good downtown location

Don't let the appearance of the check in desk put you off this hotel. Watch your belongings while checking in. While outdated, the rooms are spacious and with high ceilings and varandas, and the a/c works well. Quiet room, wonderful view from the varanda. Nice breakfast for Brazilian standards. Good location - close to Santos Dumont airport and downtown attractions. Good value for money.

Awful smell on the hotel and the room I stayed

The hotel is -1 star. I paid a VIP stay room and they put myself on a -1 star room. The cleaning staff said they reserved that room for people smoking and looks dirty. Was not my case. Expedia.com should take care when hotel like this wants to joining the time of the goods hotels.

Concierge problems

This is the second time I stay in this hotel, and the concierge keeps harassing me to pay at my check out even though I had paid over hotels.com. Be aware that they will hustle you to pay again!!!!

Great location, decent room, depressing bathroom.

The location of the hotel is amazing, a short and safe walking distance from the airport, metro, bus, and consulate area. The restaurant area and breakfast are great, nothing to complain nor brag about. The rooms are generous, simple, and clean. The bathroom was an upset-- there were decorative wooden panels installed on top of the tile in the shower box stall that were slippery and covered in oil-- gross and dangerous. The "bathtub" is not something I would ever consider soaking in. The bathrooms are in major need of a makeover.

A little R&R

The hotel is downtown I have stayed in this hotel before. The hotel is close to public transit and close to many places to eat. You are downtown so a little noise and lots of traffic. The weekend are pretty dead downtown not much going on. Lapa is not a far walk as a museum or two are also nearby.

Old hotel close to Rio Sdu airport

Check in starts at 3 pm (later than everyone else), hotel has no parking nearby, elevator is so old that has to be operated by an employee, hotel is really old and obsolete. R$ 24.00 for wi fi in room. The only plus is the location, literally across the street from the airport.

Not bad

Not a bad hotel, but not great - they don't allow check in until 3pm, which is ridiculous for being right next to a major airport. Its an older hotel in need of upgrades, but it was clean.
