The hotel was clean, the location was right in the middle of the Copacabana beach, it felt safe, service was great, friendly, helpful. Drinks were awesome, the view from the top over Copacabana was amazing. They also have a pool, have food to enjoy up there on the roof top, too. When I go back to Rio, this will the hotel of my choice where I'll be staying again.

Rooms at the back of the hotel have no view which we were aware of before booking. The room was plenty big enough for a few days. The buffet breakfast was amazing so well worth booking.

Disliked: Staff & service
Most unfriendly staff. Security and Bell staff were having non stop conversations, ignoring guests entering or leaving the premises. House keeping staff just looked up and continued working with the carts. No coffee maker in room, no iron or ironing board, no restaurant service before 8:00 am or after 8:00 pm. Shared conversation through the wall, no sound proving, which was unpleasant because our neighbors celebrated carnival. Most unpleasant stay on our trip in Brazil.

AVOID! Discrimination and unsafe environment

I had accidentally booked a double room for “one person” (for a couple). My girlfriend joined later after initially checking in, but was not allowed into the hotel by the security guard who could not have known of the booking error. After discussing/explaining the situation, I asked to change rooms or upgrade the room to two people given the error I made when booking - the front desk said that under no circumstances would she be allowed to stay at the hotel, as “visitors were not allowed”, I explained the situation again, but the front desk persisted. After we finally spoke to the manager a few hours later after grabbing dinner (as he was unavailable), he insincerely apologized and informed us that, his earlier team was mistaken, that it wasn’t an issue as I had informed him that she was going to be arriving later. We believe the front desk discriminated against us and insinuated that she was a h*****, by not allowing her entry in the hotel. To use the word angry to describe how they made us feel is beyond an understatement. By the time the manager explained the mistake his colleagues made, the damage was done, my partner was beyond upset, and we did not feel safe in this hotel. We ended up staying just next door (somewhere I would actually recommend) What was supposed to be the end to our incredible week in Rio turned into us being treated like filth, and being demeaned by the staff of this property - absolutely disgusting behaviour of the staff. Please do not stay here!!!

I would start by saying absolutely utterly shocked from the second. We got there and especially during our stay. We felt extremely unwanted. They challenged us even having a friend who was visiting us was just allowed to go upstairs. I had the most expensive room and they didn’t care. Do not stay there under no circumstance. Bad people

The stay here in Windsor Califórnia was amazing. The buffet and quality food was 10/10. The room conditions works properly. Costumer service always attentive and smiling. One of the most important is the privilege location and their Roftop pool, perfect to take a break, take a sun and relax. I’m pretty sure that I will back at this hotel.
