The location of the hotel in the more local part of the city allowed for a more chill and authentic feel in Lapa. Plently of food, bars, and nighlife options were available next to the hotel. Staff was attentive and very helpful along with a beautiful property.

The location is great! The facilities are good, too. The room was good, too, but you can hear next door depending on the room assignment (some rooms share a door with next door, that’s why their noises will be audible). The bathroom is good; the shower head had the right pressure, but the lights could be brighter in there. I didn’t get the chance to experience the pool or the bar. Breakfast was wonderful, with many options of pastries, fruits, and omelets.

UM HOTEL QUE SUPEROU AS EXPECTATIVAS

Quarto espaçoso, cafá-da-manhã incrível, equipe atenciosa e muito dedicada à satisfação dos hóspedes. Tem um banho turco e uma jacuzzi excelentes para relaxar no fim do dia. Apesar de estar longe da praia, consegue criar um clima muito aconchegante, COM UMA ARQUITETURA INCRÍVEL e que supera a distância.

A propriedade é linda, histórica. A estada teria sido mais agradável se os funcionários fossem mais cordiais e solícitos. Meu acompanhante estava desde cedo no hotel para early check-in e a recepção não liberava o quarto. Pagaríamos por isso, a acomodação estava livre, mas enrolaram ele até minha chegada. Isso foi completamente sem noção.

Tudo muito bom! Hotel lindo e limpo, piscina boa (mas sem sol na parte da tarde), cama boa e café da manhã gostoso. As toalhas de banho não combinam com o restante, já que são meio finas e ásperas.
