Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic rooms and amenities — Rooms are simple with limited features; the hotel is a 1-star property, so don't expect luxury.
- Service can be inconsistent — Service ratings are lower than staff ratings, suggesting occasional variability in responsiveness.
- Small property, limited facilities — With only 56 rooms and no mention of a restaurant or gym, the hotel is limited for guests wanting more on-site options.
- Street noise possible — Located on a main street (Rua do Catete), some rooms may pick up traffic noise, though no specific complaints were found.
