Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Road noise on lower floors — Some guests suggest requesting a high floor to avoid traffic noise and ensure the best views, as lower floors may face the favela or the road.
- Inconsistent service experiences — While many guests commend the staff, one review notes that some employees were excellent while others were less so.
- Breakfast service can lag — One guest reported a forgotten breakfast that arrived an hour late, although it was not charged after the fact.
- General facilities rating below other categories — The facilities score (7.8) is lower than rooms (8.6) and staff (8.9), suggesting the physical amenities may not match the service level.

8.4Verified guest“The hotel was quiet and safe, with good care and a comfortable room. The air conditioning worked very well, which was important.”
8.4Verified guest“I loved the view – the ocean was amazing at breakfast in the restaurant and from my room. The bed was very comfortable.”
8.4Verified guest“The room was good with a tall bed. The view was great, overlooking both the favela and Leblon and Ipanema beaches. Ask for a high floor to avoid road noise and get the best view. The hotel has direct beach access. Reception and concierge spoke English, which was helpful. It was easy to get a taxi. Good TV channels with English movies. One morning breakfast was forgotten, but they brought it an hour later and didn't charge without us asking. The hotel felt safe, with nice grounds, pools, tennis, and beach.”
