This property is close to the Flamengo beach area, just a couple of roads to cross, it is in a small side lane, not too busy, has a few small businesses in this road. The hotel appeared to be mainly full of work people, some had work clothes on in the breakfast area. I did not see what I would call tourists. The main reception is quite small for a large hotel, there is nothing there really, except a toilet and a few chairs with PC`s. There is not a great understanding or speaking of english, try to use the room service speaking english, and they will get the reception staff to ring you, or come to your room to take the order, room service food is ok for the price, rooms have a mini bar fridge. No kettle of other facilities to make a drink. Like a coffee in the morning. The worst thing about the hotel, is the noise, constant banging of doors till the early hours, soundproofing is terrible, I had a band staying in the room next to me, and had to complain about the noise. This hotel maybe ok for some, but I would not book there again, the one good point is the breakfast, plenty of choice, and variety, both hot and cold.
