The hotel itself was great! Extremely helpful and nice staff. The location was however not the best. I didn’t feel safe walking around at night alone or even with my partner. A lot of homeless near by and a lot of people told me that theft is very high in that part of town.

Food was just ok in my opinion. Breakfast was free but left a lot to be desired. Very clean and secure place but once you leave the premises you’re on your own and may see any and everything. But that’s all over Lapa. So if you’re faint of heart this may not be for you.

This property is beautiful. There is an older section that has great character and architecture. This is where we stayed. It was a very great experience. There is also a more modern part of the property with all the modern conveniences. Once inside the facility it is very clean, safe, and inviting. However, the area of the city is less desirable. Like most cities, there are areas less clean and less safe. This is the area of the city that this hotel is in. Plenty of trash and unsavory smells in the area around the hotel. If you are a little adventurous and cautious this is a wonderful hotel to stay in. Again, the hotel and staff met or exceeded everything we could want for our trip to Rio.

This is a beautiful luxury hotel, renovated from an old historic building, great location in downtown, which also means that you are near the great music bars in Rio, but also the surroundings could get tricky at night. The breakfast and swimming pool were great. Overall, a fantastic option if you want to stay in the Lapa area.
