8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The pros: The area is safe and convenient to Metro, buses, and there is a taxi stand in from of the hotel. The Metro is only a few blocks away and can take you to the beaches and other attractions. Flamengo Beach is a short walk away, and there are trails there for biking, running or walking with incredible views of Sugar Loaf. The internet also worked well and there is A/C and cable TV.
The Cons: For the second long stay in a row (I also stayed last July), the bed was not very comfortable - hard and old. You will need earplugs if you are a light sleeper, as you can hear people in the halls. I had a room toward the end of the hall, which is better as less people will pass...you can hear them walking and talking in the halls as you rest. Also, they have stopped serving breakfast and filtered water, which I enjoyed in past stays.
Having given some pros and cons, I would stay there again, but not for as long of a stay (12 days) - due to the beds. Hopefully, they will be replacing some of the older mattresses soon. But for me, the pros outweigh the cons, especially the location.
