Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Adjacent to a favela — The hotel is located at the base of a favela, which some guests found off-putting despite the constant police presence.
  • Mixed reviews on room quality — Some guests described the rooms as bad or very basic, and one review called the hotel 'very bad' overall.
  • Potential for odor from below — One guest mentioned that 'perfumes' (likely unpleasant scents) from the favela street reach the balcony.
  • Low overall rating — With a guest rating of 5.5 out of 10 and a low rank among Rio properties, expectations should be modest.

“The location to the beach was excellent. It was at the bottom of a favela, but I never felt unsafe – police are stationed in front of the hotel 24 hours a day.”

“Not much to like, honestly. The location was okay, but being just under the favela street, 'scents' came up to the balcony.”
