Boa estadia!

Pontos positivos: Hotel bem localizado, no coração da Lapa. Próximo aos bares e aos principais pontos turísticos. No 8º andar do hotel tem um rooftop com uma vista incrível dos arcos da Lapa. Pontos negativos: Paredes e banheiros sujos de sangue, provavelmente de muriçoca, mas que facilmente seria resolvido com limpeza das paredes.

Liked: Staff & service
Window in our room wouldn't close, reception sent maintenance up promptly but it wasn't fixable. Also the tap in the shower had been spun out from the wall so wouldn't work, but we screwed back on ourselves once we figured it out. Mattress needed replacing or cleaning. Good location next to the selaron steps, markets and Lapa for food and bars. Breakfast had a nice selection. Rooftop bar was an added bonus. Quiet inside the hotel.
