Wifi is not at all working AC is broken and not at all working Bath room is built in such a way that door glasses can break any time Really dissatisfied with the room and experience They have not provided the room that we opted, Istead of quadruple they give 3 and 2 sharing. Its not at all worth of what we paid for hotel and feel like we paid more money with less comfort and less amenities

I reserved a room for my wife, she was going to stay there for 8 nights, when she checked in they accommodated her in a room with no windows, mold everywhere, stinky, dirty, TV not working, etc….. she had to spend the night because it was late, in the morning she went to the front desk to cancel the rest of days, and we couldn’t get any refund…. That’s stealing peoples money.. Shame on you guys…

Eu passei quase 2 semanas hospedada e o hotel é ok. O atendimento na recepção foi muito bom e eficiente. Os pontos negativos é que alguns dias tinham hospedes fumando nos corredores e colocando som alto. As moças que limpavam esqueciam de deixar itens de higiene no banheiro. Se eu pudesse dá uma nota seria 7.

This property is disgusting. I started to feel sick and didn’t know why until I was sick of the room. The windows were not shut completely, which led me to believe that someone was going to enter and try to take my stuff. Nothing happened. However, under the sink, there was so much mold and disgusting things, the air conditioner was not secured to the wall and there was mold around it as well on the furniture had mold behind it. The bed smelled horrible. I left and not fine the front desk of my findings. I don’t believe they will do anything about it.

Great cost-benefit hotel at city center.
Overall, very cool staff, but the recepcionists didn't wear a mask most of the time behind de counter. Breakfest was great, a lot of options incluiding several types of bread, a lot of cheese and cold cuts, sweets, lots of fruits and drinks options. They left some of the food avaliable for guests to eat during the day, which I tought was super cool. Bed wasn't very confortable, but it was big and clean. Really close to a lot of touristic spots in the city center, walking distance to everything in Lapa. Really surprising for the price I paid. :)
