Room was very very basic and many mosquitoes. Many people staying there seem to be local "live in" guests. Not comfortable at breakfast- very crowded in a cramped room. No tourist information or other tourists- even the receptionist, Aurilene, very rudly and aggressively said to us as we tried to check in - I dont speak English. It is a hotel,right? Unbelievable- not a nice way to start a holiday. Receptionist Marcio quickly spoke to us and was friendly.

Beautiful historical building and central location. We got the balcony room- nice to have view of the street.

Stayed in January 2023

It's a bit of an old building but comfortable

Very nice hotel. Good breakfast. There could have been a toaster available, but it is nice. Nice staff. Best rooms are 321 and 322, with balcony. Hot water in the shower. Fridge in the room, ac and ceiling fan as well. Coffee available all day in the lobby. The metro entrance is right in front of the building, largo de Machado with restaurants and bars is 100 meters away. I loved it and would come back.

Value for money. Close to metro. Has on-premise FOC parking space - but would be great to receive prior instructions on how to enter (going up the pavement, requesting for parking gate to be opened, missing the entrance would result in a huge tour of Rio haha etc) A simple breakfast included was a bonus. A bit dated, but it comes with the price. Location was just the best.

The breakfast

Stayed in January 2022

breakfast was really bad

Stayed in January 2022

Room was in the back. It was not easy to turn on the AC. I had to jump on the bed to be able to reach the power button.

Location is good. Staff watch you eat your breakfast from the kitchen. One lady approached me to let me know the buffet is "all-you-can-eat"; however, coffee should be limited to one cup only... I didn't like to hear that, and I thought it was embarrassing.

There is nothing I like about the hotel . I booked for double room and they gave me a triple family room with no room for movement . Their sheet was dirty . Their bathroom is narrow and cranky . On the reception there was a woman with big eye glasses . She was grampy and almost hostile . I would never recommend anyone to stay here . Their breakfast was also basic with no many options .

Location is kind of central .

The cleanliness, the shower, the staff

The shower in the room was terrible! The checkout was bad too. We ask for checkout later and them didn't accept because there were a concert in the city

Stayed in March 2023

My first dislike was the lack of a decent separation of the shower area and the rest of the bathroom where there was only a plastic curtain to prevent the water from the shower from invading the rest of the bathroom.............and every shower wet the entire bathroom. Breakfast is the second item I did not like. There two juices, one appeared to be orange juice but I am not sure.The other looked like cashew juice made from a concentrate. Here in Brazil people shop for bread rolls daily but those that were available did not seem to be very fresh. The options for breakfast were limited and ,for me, not a breakfast to enjoy but simply to fill one's belly.

The positive point for this hotel is that it is right opposite the Republic Museum where one can safely rest and stroll around during the day. The staff of the hotel were friendly always.

Stayed in April 2023

Only one person spoke English. Breakfast was ok but it was the same every day. There was no decent table either in the room or in the lobby, not recommended if you work from your laptop. I had to call the front reception every time I wanted to turn off the air conditioning. There was no elevator. The worst thing was that the room and breakfast room had ants (or termites) everywhere. I checked my bed dozens of times to avoid being bitten.

Even though they did not speak English, they were patient with me and tried to understand what I needed. Cleanliness was good. The location is great and the subway is 10 meters from the entrance. There are food stores open until late, supermarkets and pharmacies on the sides.

I think the room was not cozy or pleasant at all. It had much more a hostel vibe. I think the beautiful name of the hotel and the location had given me the impression, that it was more cozy and pleasant.

I found the breakfast rather simple and not too exciting. But I much appreciated the cleanliness. It seemed very clean and safe to eat. The location of the hotel is the biggest reason to chose it. An excellent location.

Localização

Air-con was a bit loud. Walls rather bare - very minimalistic. Some pictures or decor might make the rooms more inviting.

Friendly proprietor. Speaks English. Great breakfast included. Everything was clean and neat. Very close to the subway (across the street)

the cleaning was never done in the room, the equipment in the bathroom was broken.
