This is NOT a 4-star property, even if 3. If it wasn't for the superb location of Ipanema Beach (Posto 7), and only needing a room for 2 nights, I would have checked out and gone elsewhere. Overall, everything about this hotel is tired: the breakfast area is too small for the size of this hotel, which makes the entire ambience feel basement like; the roof top area looks really sad, dated and unkempt (so uninviting,I didn't even utilise the free welcome drinks voucher I was given). My room had a faulty bathroom (taps not working, shower leaking), which got fixed once reported - however, it wasnt done in a way made to last nor did it leave the bathroom very inviting. In this instance,I think i should have just been offered another room but it was very apparent that no one even cared to check how/ to what standard it got fixed. The entire property appears to be done on the cheap and with minimal effort of care. The only saving grace about this hotel is the location.
