Fees & policies
Children & extra beds
Parents or a legal guardian travelling with children under 18 years of age must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels to Brazil, if just one of the parents is travelling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorising the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorisation, a judicial authorisation is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before travelling for more information.

Good location - close to Lapa, Gloria and Cinelândia. You can walk to Flamengo beach and Gloria Marina for a boat ride. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the shower is hot with excellent water pressure. The breakfast is good.

The room was very colorful, but it was very comfortable. the lights and different settings were very cool. very modern . The staff was very nice and professional, especially Leo. For a foreigner is very difficult to adapt to Brazil, everything felt different to me, but he explained to me everything and was very patient.

Aseo. El cuarto cumple con lo que promete. El asignado era muy pequeño. Dos camas individuales para personas no más altas de 1.80 y de contextura normal. Bastante angostas pero cumplen para el descanso. La ropa de cama estaba rota por desgaste. Almohadas bien. Colchón bueno.
Baño. Excelente ducha. Buena agua caliente. El lavabo y el inodoro son viejos. Funcionales. No me gustó que tuviera asiento acolchado (gusto personal). El cuart solo lo asean por pedido. Tenían 4 toallas para dos personas, lo que esta ok.
Seguridad de la zona. Tomar en cuenta que es el casco histórico de Río, en un barrio histórico como es Lapa. Sumarle que si en Río hay indigencia en esta zona por demás, aunque no se meten con nadie. Cada quien en lo suyo. Pero siempre hay que andar con el cuidado de cualquier gran ciudad. Saliendo del hotel a unos pasos está Escalera de Selarón con su ambiente de bares y fiesta; en cualquier otra dirección y a menos de una cuadra hay ambiente bohemio, bares, música en vivo y comida, tanto de restaurante como callejera. Los precios son muy accesibles en la zona, casi que como en todo Río. A 3 cuadras del hotel estan los Arcos de Lapa y otro conjunto de bares, restaurantes y sitios de ambiente en la zona de Lapa.
Primera impresión. De entrada no me vende el hotel. Se ve viejo y no muy seguro. Cuando fui estaba en remodelación al menos la entrada. Pero en un par de días lo ves como parte del paisaje y hasta familiar.
Camas Funcionales. Pequeñas.
Internet Ok

Quarto muito bom em termos de tamanho, porém com ar condicionado excessivamente barulhento.
Bom café da manhã, porém faltou um iogurte ou similar, item que considero indispensável no desjejum.
Hotel limpo, porém com cheiro forte de produtos de limpeza, o que causa certo desconforto.
Boa localização
