Hotels With Pools in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Overall a nice trip, and a pretty fancy hotel for the price. I would consider it more like a 4**** hotel than a 5 star, personally. highlights: - beautiful lobby and view from our room of the mountains, beach, etc. - kind people at the desk and otherwise. very safe inside even though neighborhood is a bit sketchy at times. - great bed, windows, bathtub, etc.. - affordable as an american for level of service. - spa and rooftop restaurant are amazing. gym is great too! dealbreakers: (may stop me from booking next time) - wifi was basically broken the entire time in our room, and in the hotel at times. less than 10mbits, and no signal in most of our room. front desk said several times they'd fix but I don't think they have the ability to actually fix it. many other people had this issue as well. at a 5* hotel, this should not be happening. major issue, had to do meetings in the lobby to get it to function at all. - breakfast is *good* but definitely caters towards a local brazilian diet (very few options for vegans). as a vegetarian, I'll just say I ate a lot of eggs and cheese. but hey, that's brazil so not digging on the hotel too much on that. - elevator is incredibly busy, and there were times where it literally said ”not available” and we had to wait 5 minutes to actually use it. - there are *TONS* of families with kids in and around the pool when we went. so environment was quite loud and crazy most of the time. they do timeshares so I think mostly big families frequent the hotel. - we booked and paid extra for the *Junior Suite* (with a large living room as well as bath). the front desk gave us the *room with bath* which ended up being nice.. but is half the size, and refused to put us in the junior suite room, even after showing the reservation. this may be a Trip.com issue instead of the hotel.. but they didn't offer any compensation or flexibility for us. trip did refund us the difference in price though. overall, its a great deal for the price, and the architecture is amazing, the room is nice, good water pressure. horrible wifi and very few vegetarian options made it difficult to recommend again, but we liked our stay nonetheless.

Location good in Lapa, close to bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Personal attentive especially Jonathas Rodigues  Breakfast good but no variety. Bad room towels may be renewed

Great accommodation, very attentive and respectful staff, only cleaning is not very frequent, the heated pool was not working and neither was the laundry, room cleaning is not very frequent, although like me, if you get a shared room, the price varies a lot. type of cleaning for each person. But great location and location.

The best things is landscape at roof top.. Really spectacular.. Location is good.. All workers was polite..despite i got hotel early.. (like 10:00 am).. i settle down room Thank you for everything It was good experience

Breakfast is terrible! No one answers, the treatment is discriminatory, and there's no variety. Every day they serve the same three types of cake, the bread is stale and not even fresh, they don't serve soft drinks, and there aren't even croissant options. The vegetables are ridiculous: only cucumbers and tomatoes. You have to set the table yourself because no one helps. Room service is also very poor: help never arrives promptly. When you're in a group, they don't help at all and even discriminate when choosing tables. Overall, the experience is horrible. The breakfast is of poor quality, and the hotel absolutely doesn't deserve a 5-star rating. I absolutely do not recommend it!

Excellent service!! I'll surely come back!

The hotel is stunning. The room has panoramic windows, is spacious, and so comfortable that I didn't even want to leave. The breakfast was disappointing; the chef's custom-made meal was completely inedible. The service was also very disappointing, as the hotel management ignored my birthday—a first for me.

Excellent location and pleasant surroundings, however, there were leaks in the windows caused by a problem with the glass sealing (already known by the hotel, it was using duct tape to alleviate it), the noise of the leak during the night, while it was raining, was loud and irritating, I had to use towels to alleviate the noise and be able to sleep.

At the arrival I needed to wait and change the room a couple of times because in one block (A) all the rooms are facing to the small courtyard and there are air conditioning machines that makes a terrible noise for the entire day. 

Gostei muito do ambiente do hostel. Apesar dos quartos compartilhados não terem muito espaço, sua cama tem o espaço adequado. Só recomendo melhorar a limpeza dos banheiros masculinos.
