Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms need serious refurbishing despite featuring a gorgeous bed and pillows, they lack charm. The service, though, shines with exceptional friendliness and attentiveness. The location boasts safety, proximity to Iracema Beach but may feel a bit small. Dining serves superb food, with fantastic preparation but could improve in some areas. Overall, a stay here is a blend of highs and lows.
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, but they could use some updating as they looked smaller than in the pictures online. The hotel is in a great location, right across the street from Iracema Beach with various dining options nearby. The service was exceptional, with the staff being attentive and kind. The breakfast was incredible and one of the best during my trip.
The rooms at this hotel were a bit disappointing as they felt humid and dark; however, they were very nice and clean. The photos online did make them seem larger, though. The service was exceptionally friendly, almost like little robots always ready to help. The location was safe to explore at night, close to the action of street vendors and restaurants. The dining experience was very good, but could have been excellent with better-cooked eggs. Overall, a hotel with potential that needs some updates.
