Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are on the small side — Some guests note the rooms are compact, though they remain clean and functional.
- Not close to the beaches — The hotel is inland in Catete, so a trip to the coast is needed if you want beach time.
- Limited room information — Only a Twin Room with two single beds or one king-size bed is listed, which may not suit all group configurations.

8.5Verified guest“The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the hotel felt new and spotless, and the value was excellent. Being right near the metro was very convenient, the internet was fast, and the included light meal was a nice touch.”
8.5Verified guest“I could walk to Christ the Redeemer from here. Carmelo Restaurante was a 15-minute walk, and the bathroom had a good shower. I fell in love with this place.”
8.5Verified guest“Great location and the staff were welcoming.”
8.5Verified guest“The location is close to the centre with good public transport links, and taxis were easy to flag down outside. The neighbourhood has interesting markets, food and drugstores. It's not right by the beaches, which could be a plus or minus depending on your plans. Being near SDU airport meant I could make the most of my last day.”
8.5Verified guest“The hotel sits right across from Flamengo Park and within walking distance of a train station. Carmelo Restaurante, about 10 minutes' walk away, was my favourite spot to eat.”
8.5Verified guest“This cosy hotel was a great pick for Easter. Breakfast was delicious with fresh breads and fruits, and the staff went out of their way to recommend local restaurants. The location made it easy to walk to both the beach and the city centre.”
