The only downside to this property was the location. The surrounding area was very dirty and felt unsafe especially after dark. But the actual property was great, nice breakfast with a lot of options. Several of the staff spoke English which was very helpful.

Hôtel situé en centre-ville, donc pas à proximité des plages mythiques de Copacabana et d'Ipanema, mais il dispose d'une belle grande piscine (si elle est ouverte ; si la piscine est importante pour vous, contactez directement l'hôtel pour savoir si elle est ouverte). Idem pour le restaurant de l'hôtel qui offre un buffet correct le soir, si l'on est fatigué et sans envie de sortir. Idéal pour homme/femme d'affaires. Les chambres sont plutôt spacieuses, mais l'insonorisation entre les chambres laissent à désirer si les voisins sont bruyants. Les chambres du bâtiment historique sont un peu décevantes, en tout cas trop chères, sauf peut-être celles qui sont "très haut de gamme", mais avec un prix vraisemblablement aussi très "haut". Les chambres dans le bâtiment "moderne" sont tout à fait correctes. En général, le rapport qualité/prix est bon, mais n'oubliez pas ce que j'ai écrit au début de cette évaluation. L'hôtel peut être considéré comme un bon choix en fonction de ce que l'on recherche.

Local muito bonito e preservado, equipe sempre eduacada. Não há copa para família com crianças, então não tem como esquentar refeições ou leite. O ponto fraco do hotel é o restaurante. O café da manhã é bom mas sempre tumultuado para pedir itens ou repor louças. O jantar é temático, mas incrivelmente na noite italiana não tinha molho de tomate e a única opção de massa era penne. Falta melhor organização e disponibilização de itens para ser justo ao valor cobrado.

Muito bom o hotel. Restaurante IMPECÁVEL, mesmo que tenhamos solicitado um vinho, e o garçom da piscina, educadamente, informou que o vinho tinha, mas não estava refrigerado. Atendimento da recepção tbm muito bom. Os lençóis estavam um pouco desgastado. A piscina não é aquecida e precisa tbm de manutenção, mas o atendimento dos funcionários, a qualidade da comida estavam espetacular.

Positiv in dem Hotel war das sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Personal am Empfang / Rezeption. Außerdem war das Frühstück echt in Ordnung. Insbesondere die ganzen weichen Brötchen. Okey bis schlecht war jedoch leider der Rest. Die Zimmer waren so semi sauber. Wir hatten einmal eine dreckige Decke, der Abfluss im Bad war nicht sauber und unsere Toilette nicht mehr fest verankert (Raum 1150). Der Pool hat seine besten Zeiten hinter sich und das Personal scheint dort etwas überfordert zu sein. Wir mussten einmal 60min für unsere Getränke und 2 Burger warten die wir an der Terrasse bestellt haben. Außerdem hat uns der Kellner kein Wechselgeld gegeben nachdem wir bar bezahlt haben... Die Gegend vom Hotel ist übrigens eher nicht so für Touristen zu empfehlen. Es herrscht viel Obdachlosigkeit und ich habe mich nicht ganz so wohl gefühlt.

O hotel continua sendo um custo/ benefício razoável. Mas, infelizmente, difícil ainda de se fazer uma boa avaliação. A cama do quarto em que fiquei teve o pior colchão que já experimentei em toda minha vida. Foram todas as noites muito mal dormidas (para se dizer o mínimo). Colchão de péssima qualidade, extremamente duro!!
