Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adjacent to a favela — The hotel is located at the base of a favela, which some guests found off-putting despite the constant police presence.
- Mixed reviews on room quality — Some guests described the rooms as bad or very basic, and one review called the hotel 'very bad' overall.
- Potential for odor from below — One guest mentioned that 'perfumes' (likely unpleasant scents) from the favela street reach the balcony.
- Low overall rating — With a guest rating of 5.5 out of 10 and a low rank among Rio properties, expectations should be modest.
