Bottom line, if you can afford to stay anywhere else, do, if you can't, you'll survive. The property itself is pretty clean and maintained in common areas. Reception were helpful for the most part. Our room was below average, mould in the bathroom all over the ceiling, bugs and a heavily dripping Aircon unit. I reported to reception and ask for maintenance to look at the Aircon and they sent the cleaner to clean up the water instead. Cleaners never had enough fresh towels to give us, so between 2 of us we had 3 towels for a week, would have been nice to have a fresh towel every other day. The pool area is dirty and really run down which is a shame as it's on the roof top with a small terrace, tables and chairs overlooking Sugarloaf mountain so it has great potential. There's no bar at the top even though there is a set up for one, so you have to phone to order drinks/food. The language barrier made this quite difficult on the phone but we took our own bits up to the top with no issues. The area itself is really central. It's very easy to get anywhere you need to go, Copocabana, Botofogo, Ipanema etc, and Uber was great, good value and safe for this. You are close to the Selaron steps and lapa district for bars, with an abundance of restaurants and shops within a walkable distance. Be careful in the area with phones, jewellery etc and don't keep anything in your pockets. For the price in comparison to everywhere else, it made this trip possible for us.
