The rooms were filthy with stains and hair everywhere, the shower head had mold all in it, we walked around bare foot for merely minutes and the soles of our feet were black. The room was so bad we had to leave and find somehwere new. The only thing good about this place was the front desk workers as they were nice but I would not not recommended this place to anyone.

Great hotel. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Hotel is located in a good location if you do not want to stay on the beach. A lot of local attractions are in walking distance. Would recommend this hotel.

Adequate

We got off a cruise ship so this hotel was conveniently close. Although the neighborhood was dicey (risky, unpredictable). It was close to the Central train & bus station. As two women using public transportation we managed ok close to buses & metro. Since there were events nearby due to the Olympics there was a lot of foot traffic in the area along with buses, cars & taxis. At other times I wouldn't want to walk at night in this neighborhood. The hotel of course doesn't measure up to it's photos, the shower, toilet,sink worked adequately but old with patched tiles cracked sinks. This is not a "throw-away" society, they make due with what the've got patch & repair. The room was small, the bed short, but the AC and 2 lifts worked as well & free WIFI. Though "old" it served us ok. For the Olympics the price was good. Breakfast ok. The front desk people were very "simpatico" friendly and very helpfull.

Perfect for Passing Through

This was a great simple hotel. It was very clean. We only needed it for one night and it was perfect for this. It was a great price and the staff were very nice and helpful. I saw in a previous comment that no one spoke English. I spoke broken portuguese and didnt have a problem. Fantastic breakfast! All Brazil hotels who say they have free breakfast is really only french bread and powdered coffee. This was not the case here. They had an amzing breakfast with hot and cold options.

Budget Traveler

This Hotel is on the Northern end of the Centro (Downtown) area of Rio in an older underdeveloped area that could use a facelift. It's a short hike to Ave Rio Branco and the modern area of Downtown. The hotel itself was like stepping back into the 1960 Vegas...I felt like I was waiting from Dean Martin,Sammy Davis Jr. & Frank Sinatra to walk in with their Martini glasses. lol The room I had was their top of the line room ($64) more like the Apartments in Rio I use to stay in. There is lot's of space with a glass enclosed Jacuzzi Tube in the middle of the room and a King sized bed and wall couch (60's style). The Bathrooms were big and very nice with a locker room like shower with outstanding water pressure, though it could use better lighting over the mirror area. For the frequent traveler to Rio like myself who wants to get away from the tourist scene in Copa and wants to experience another part of the city while not spending too much money...the Pompeu is a viable option. Backpackers who want to be one step above a Hostile for not much more money, the single rooms will be more than adequate.

Area not too flash. All right for 1 night but.

ROOM TINY and 500mls of water for $5 is a bit over the top when it's only worth about 50c in the supermarket.

Good enough for its price

The service and recommendations assistant on the reception was pretty good and breakfast was good also. The near street was under construction, so it was hard to arrived to the hotel by my car. The smell in side the room was no so good.

Pompeu in Rio is terrible hotel

Extreme noise from very busy street all day and night - You just cannot sleep even with the ear plugs so I asked to change the room for one that is not facing the street. After a little bit of a hustle I got another room that was just about the size the bed and enough room to walk around to the washroom.. I was staying for 6 days in this hotel and had a luggage that I could not put anywhere in standing position let alone to lay it down. So I explained to the front desk gentleman the situation and after several minutes of arguments another room was given to me. I moved my stuff again just to discover that the AC is not working and you cannot flush the toilette. Washrooms are about the size of the washroom you would find in the airplane including the sink - I am not exaggerating ! Never ending story and struggle for 6 days! Stay away from this hotel

Overall...I would not book this hotel again.

My stay was uncomfortable. The room did have the sauna and jetted tub but everything was unclean. I felt the need to go out and purchase sanitizing wipes and air freshener. However, the price is incredibly low so we got what we paid for. Overall, I would not book this hotel again unless they did some serious renovating.
