Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Patchy facilities — The Facilities rating sits at 6.2, and guests describe rooms as needing renovation, with basic amenities that some felt didn't match typical 3-star expectations.
- Location has rough edges — Set in the Lapa/Centro area, several guests note 'shady' spots nearby and advise caution on evening walks, though they also mention well-lit streets and a safe feel during the day.
- Value questioned at peak times — While the base price is low, one guest felt the rate was high for New Year's Eve, and the Value rating (6.5) suggests expectations should be managed.
- No pets allowed — The policy explicitly prohibits pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

7.2Verified guest“The location is unbeatable, right by the famous Lapa arches. Being so central made it easy to reach the metro, see the sights, and find plenty of shops and places to eat around every corner.”
7.2Verified guest“We paid a lot, but it was New Year's Eve so we expected that. As a budget place, it's okay – breakfast was decent and the restaurant had Wi-Fi, but the rooms really need a refresh and the neighborhood isn't the kind you'd want to hang around in.”
7.2Verified guest“The pool was a nice surprise and they had a free shuttle to the main attractions, which saved us cab fare. Being close to the beach and some great restaurants was also a bonus.”
7.2Verified guest“Stayed during a big event and the location was key – right between two metro stations and near attractions. The area had some sketchy spots, but most of the walk was lit and felt safe. The hotel had been updated with new paint and TVs. The staff were the standout – patient and polite, especially sorting out a booking mix-up. For the price, it's acceptable, though not a typical 3-star by international standards.”
7.2Verified guest“The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly.”
7.2Verified guest“Friendly and attentive staff, great spot near the metro, and the room was big with a powerful shower. A solid stay.”
