I found the hotel to be in a decent location close to the Sambadrome and city attractions, which was a plus. However, I was disappointed with the rooms, especially since they lacked windows, making it a bit stuffy. The service was friendly when I needed assistance, but the area surrounding the hotel felt a bit unsafe. Overall, it offered good value for its strategic location but needed improvement in room comfort and safety aspects.

The rooms were average and had no windows, which was a letdown. The one window I had opened into a narrow courtyard, so there wasn't much fresh air.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the plus side, the location is pretty convenient, being close to the Centro metro station and parking for Carnaval. I found the rooms to be decent for a one-night stay at a reasonable price. However, the area felt a bit shady, and while the service was friendly, exchanging information was challenging due to the language barrier. Overall, it offers good value for money but isn't without its drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean but quite odd with no windows, which was a bit disappointing. The staff was friendly and helpful, which was a definite plus. However, the location felt a bit shady and not very safe at times. Overall, if you're looking for a basic stay, it might suffice, but there are definitely better options out there.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite small and opened into a narrow courtyard, limiting fresh air. On the bright side, the breakfast was quite tasty. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was decent, though I felt a little uneasy in the surrounding area, which didn't match the lively downtown vibe advertised. Overall, it was a decent place but had its downsides.
