The hotel offers modern micro units with all the necessary amenities you could ever want, although they are a bit small for travelers with large luggage. The rooms aren't soundproofed, so noise from the hallway and neighboring rooms can be a slight issue. However, the overall stay is pleasant despite these minor inconveniences.

Rooms

The rooms are modern micro units with all the things you could ever want, but they are a little bit small for travelers with 2 big luggages. The lack of soundproofing means you can hear noises from the hall and other rooms. Despite these drawbacks, the stay was comfortable.

The location is excellent, situated at the end of Ipanema Beach very close to Copacabana Beach. It's a privilege to have breakfast practically on the beach with the stunning view of the Two Brothers. The hotel is also ideally located near shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions, making it a calm area of Ipanema.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and new, but they were tiny and very dark. The serenity around made it hard to stay awake at times. The location was excellent, just a few minutes' walk to the beach, restaurants, and shopping, but some renovations were underway. The dining options looked promising, but the actual quality was a bit hit or miss.

Although the rooms are small and some face a noisy courtyard with loud pipes, my stay was delightful. The room was beautifully decorated with a comfortable bed and a lovely shower, plus the white tile floors were spotless. While the size could be bigger, the beach view was fantastic. The service was exceptional, offering help with taxis and tickets. The location couldn't be better, right in front of Ipanema beach with easy access to both Copacabana and Ipanema. The dining experience was delicious with a slight setback of watered-down juice. Overall, a wonderful stay with great value for money.

Staying at this hotel is a real treat! The rooms are cozy and well-designed, even though we initially had a small issue with the double bed. The service was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff. The location couldn't be better for beach lovers, but there was some noise from nearby air conditioning units. The dining experience was delightful, offering a variety of delicious options. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for a visit to Rio.

My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were beautifully decorated, the bed was comfortable, and I loved the small peeking hall in the shower. However, the rooms were a bit small compared to other hotels nearby. The rooftop yoga was fantastic, the reception staff was friendly, and the free bicycle rental was a nice touch.
