Stayed a week for birthday. Every day at 9 pm, we received a call from the front desk saying to quiet down but we were not even being loud. Breakfast was the same every day, elevators are very old, beds are hard but the pillows are soft. The TV was only dubbed in Portuguese with no options to change it. No ice machine or microwave for guest use. The area around the hotel is not the best, especially at night because they follow you and keep asking for money. The beach is very close, but there is not much nightlife. We walked about 15 mins to get to the club. Attractions are more within driving distance, but at least the subway is a 7 min walk. The good parts were the staff, cleanliness and the balcony. You can see Cristo Redentor from the pool deck and there is great room service. For the price and the 4 star rating, I thought it was going to be more elite. There are several more hotels I would consider when returning to Rio.
