Reviews and Ratings
The hotel staff were fantastic and the breakfast offered a great variety. The room I stayed in exceeded my expectations in terms of beauty and cleanliness. However, the location, while convenient, had some noise issues from the street and limited English-speaking staff. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but there were some discomforts that could be improved.
I found the hotel to be budget-friendly and clean, with helpful front desk staff and a pretty decent breakfast. Unfortunately, the surrounding area felt unsafe, and I had issues with air conditioning during my stay. It's close to the airport, which is a plus, but I really didn't feel comfortable walking around at night.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although I had some doubts about the surrounding area. The breakfast provided was quite good, but the location felt unsafe to walk around, especially at night. The price was reasonable for what I got, but the overall experience was a bit unsettling due to the environment outside.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While I appreciated the clean and simple accommodations and the delicious breakfast served in the room, I was unsettled by the noise from the street and the ongoing renovations. The location is lively, but it made me a bit anxious. Overall, it was affordable for Rio, but some aspects could be improved.
This hotel offers a simple yet comfortable stay with a great breakfast. While the location is convenient for exploring, it does feel a bit unsafe at night and the noise levels can be bothersome. The rooms are clean, albeit musty, and the service staff is very helpful. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you’re on a budget, but you might want to consider other options if you value comfort and tranquility.
