In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable location in the heart of Ipanema — Right on the main shopping street and a short walk from Ipanema Beach, with easy access to Leblon and Copacabana.

  • Friendly and helpful staff — Guests repeatedly mention the kindness of the team, from the front desk to porters and cleaning staff.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score lower than other categories — The facilities rating (6.1) is notably below the overall rating, suggesting the amenities are more basic than some might expect.
  • Comfort rating is below average — With a comfort score of 7.5, some guests may find the rooms less luxurious than the price suggests.
  • Parking is available but may be limited — Parking is offered (with valet), but the hotel is on a busy main street, and like many urban hotels, spaces can be tight.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which could be a drawback for travellers with animals.

“A delightful stay at this wonderful hotel. The staff were cordial and the location was great, close to the lake and just next door to the beach, with restaurants offering vegetarian options and plenty of shops. I came across Venga Bar de Tapas, about a 10-15 minute walk away, which served nice shots.”
