7.6/10

The hotel has a cozy atmosphere with comfortable rooms, but lacking some amenities like a kettle. The bathroom with a jacuzzi is a nice touch. The service is a bit hit or miss, with some staff being very friendly while others are not very helpful. The location is unbeatable for enjoying all that Copacabana has to offer, but the dining experience could be better despite a decent breakfast spread.

The hotel offers good value with clean 'superior' rooms despite feeling a bit small with only one window and lacking a coffee machine. The service was a mix of perfection and slight indifference.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, with a stunning view of Copacabana Beach from my spacious corner room. The room was nice, though the bed was a little too hard for my liking.
