Good downtown location
Don't let the appearance of the check in desk put you off this hotel. Watch your belongings while checking in. While outdated, the rooms are spacious and with high ceilings and varandas, and the a/c works well. Quiet room, wonderful view from the varanda. Nice breakfast for Brazilian standards. Good location - close to Santos Dumont airport and downtown attractions. Good value for money.

Wifi?
They list free Wifi on their site...the wifi connection was horrible!! Didn't work at all from the room and barely worked in the lobby. I specifically chose this hotel because they advertised wifi...not happy.
If your looking for nice old place, good condition with that nostalgic feel stay here. The man operated elevator, old wood work marbleel spiral steps. Easy walking to restruants, historical sites. We loved our stay here.
The hotel is -1 star.
I paid a VIP stay room and they put myself on a -1 star room. The cleaning staff said they reserved that room for people smoking and looks dirty. Was not my case. Expedia.com should take care when hotel like this wants to joining the time of the goods hotels.

Concierge problems
This is the second time I stay in this hotel, and the concierge keeps harassing me to pay at my check out even though I had paid over hotels.com. Be aware that they will hustle you to pay again!!!!

Great location, decent room, depressing bathroom.
The location of the hotel is amazing, a short and safe walking distance from the airport, metro, bus, and consulate area. The restaurant area and breakfast are great, nothing to complain nor brag about. The rooms are generous, simple, and clean. The bathroom was an upset-- there were decorative wooden panels installed on top of the tile in the shower box stall that were slippery and covered in oil-- gross and dangerous. The "bathtub" is not something I would ever consider soaking in. The bathrooms are in major need of a makeover.
The hotel is downtown I have stayed in this hotel before. The hotel is close to public transit and close to many places to eat. You are downtown so a little noise and lots of traffic. The weekend are pretty dead downtown not much going on. Lapa is not a far walk as a museum or two are also nearby.
Check in starts at 3 pm (later than everyone else), hotel has no parking nearby, elevator is so old that has to be operated by an employee, hotel is really old and obsolete. R$ 24.00 for wi fi in room. The only plus is the location, literally across the street from the airport.

Not bad
Not a bad hotel, but not great - they don't allow check in until 3pm, which is ridiculous for being right next to a major airport. Its an older hotel in need of upgrades, but it was clean.

Very central, close to everything tourist need
Do not arrive before 3 as they do not have rooms ready. Facilities are old but work, don't wait for the elevator to take you down, just walk down the steps.
Easy to find buses any time of the night to Central or Centro, close by. Easy access to key places. Just 300 meter's away from City airport and yet in downtown.
Excellent breakfast included in the room rate, good and clean and reasonably priced restaurant. Avccess to Wi-fi
Great Staff, very clean bed sheets and towels, great breakfast.
Every person I asked said to not walk around outside of hotel past 7 pm as it was dangerous. Hotel itself its old and the maintenance is not its best. One hotel floor needed scrubbing to get all the dirt out, AC only cools part of the room if any, only one tiny old and small elevator work that require hotel staff to operate.

good hotel
Hotel placed at a good and quiet surrounding. Unfortunately the Internet isn't free.
The hotel is very old and the only elevator is slow, old. It takes many minutes of time to makes its job. No air-conditioning system in the hotel. Bathroom is the worst. I took pictures of the unclean shower and floor. I do not recommend this place to anybody.

Very authentic hotel situated in the city. Lapa, the night spot is within walking distance. Copacabana beach is not too far away by cab. I like the old traditional lift in the hotel. Super Cool!!! Room is not great but satisfactory.
