Stayed in February 2017.
First, my husband booked this hotel using his miles so it was free for us for 4-nights. However, we only checked the website and not Tripadvisor anymore. From their website it really looks fabulous, in reality it's just average, perhaps like a 3-star hotel only.
The room is basic yet clean, The breakfast is just okay, not so much choices.
The only good thing about our stay here is it was the Carnaval week, so the blocos are just always around the corner and we don't really need to go anywhere! We also feel that the blocos in this area have mostly locals than tourists in Copacobana or Ipanema areas. You can also walk towards Sambadrome that we just wasted the ticket we bought for the bus services going and leaving Sambadrome. It is fairly safe to walk because a lot of people are doing it and police cars are everywhere.
It was a good stay for us perhaps because of the blocos experience we had.
