"šŗšø As an American visiting Brazil, I felt very safe and welcomed. Everyone was super nice, helpful, and friendly. The nightlife here is š„ busy ā especially since youāre right in the city center. If youāre hoping for a quiet, relaxing night, just know this area stays active late š.
š Youāre walking distance to popular spots like the Arches of Lapa and the Selarón Steps šØ, which is perfect for sightseeing. Breakfast š½ļø in the mornings is nice, though it can get a little repetitive if youāre staying for a while. The staff was always accommodating and kind š.
šļø The room itself was nice and comfortable, but the bathroom š½ felt a little dated ā the toilet showed some yellowing and could use an upgrade. There were snacks š« and drinks in the room, but theyāre pricey šø. Itās better to grab the same things at a local supermarket š for way cheaper.
šāāļø I wish the pool and gym šļøāāļø stayed open 24 hours (they close at 10 PM ā°). But with Brazilās famous beaches šļø like Flamengo, Copacabana, Ipanema, and more nearby, youāll have plenty of options to enjoy during the day š.
Overall, itās a fun and convenient spot if you want to be in the heart ā¤ļø of the action and experience Rioās nightlife, culture, and energy āØ."
