Good, but there are a few caveats
The hotel is centrally located just 3 blocks away from Copacabana beach and everything one needs. I booked a luxury twin room with 2 twin beds. I fail to see how it was luxurious because it was basic. It had all the amenities one expects and it was clean, with daily housekeeping. But it was small for 2 people and we barely had enough space to set down our suitcases.
The hotel allows pets (which is great) but there there was urine smell in some spots in the room. It was not noticeable in general but it was there nonetheless. The rooftop views are stunning and worth hanging out. The pool is small but perfect for a dip but the water was murky and there was mould around the edge so we avoided it.
The breakfast buffet is plentiful and you won't go hungry. Surprisingly, the restaurant did not allow guests to bring cups to make tea in the room - instead giving guests styrofoam cups. For a hotel that claims to be concerned environment, they must re-examine what that actually entails. It doesn't stop at just reusing towels.
The biggest downfall for me (as this was a working holiday) is the internet. Impossible to get a strong and reliable signal from the room. It was only reliable in the lobby where sitting in an uncomfortable couch near the 1 plug was not ideal. I was told it was getting fixed but after 1 week, that never happened.
All in all, I do recommend it as a centrally-located hotel but do not be swayed by the apparent luxurious pictures.
