Conveniently downtown Rio. Walking distance to Sambadre, port and Cinelandia. Rooms small but clean . Aircon units very noisy. Staff however very friendly and helpful . Generally clean appearance . Suitable for those who want to be near carnival and away from main beach areas

I can't say if they speak English well or not, but definitely this hotel's highlight is its staff. They are all really nice, helpful and friendly.

I was surprised to find that this hotel was quite good. I say this because it was one of the only ones available a couple of weeks before carnival and I had imagined the reason for this to be a big problem of some kind. In fact the hotel was better than I expected from the hotel's own photos. Naturally... More
