Rooms are big and they keep the hotel very clean. Breakfast is always good and even one day my daughter got dizzy-sick they activated a protocol with first aid. Awesome and recommended. The rooftop is fantastic
My mom and I really enjoyed our stay here. We felt very safe and really enjoyed the rooftop lounge as well as the everyday breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.
A lovely hotel just one block back from the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean.
The roof top bar and pool are great.
My only slight negative is the staff at the roof top bar weren’t very friendly and I had to go to the bar to order food even though they were just stood around chatting.
Reception staff were great.
Curteous and helpful staff. The only issue was the number of people at reception at peak times. In general, very happy with the stay

Disliked: Cleanliness
More a 2.5 star hotel - centrally located, quiet and close to the beach - next to good restaurants like Joaquina - area a bit rundown - personnel/service average with a few outstanding exceptions - overall good value for money for the holiday season.
Lovely hotel 5 minutes walk from Leme beach which is a very safe area
Plenty of restaurents & shops ( supermarkets) close to hotel
Small rooftop pool thats hardly used due to beach location
Decent size room , nice hot shower , good wifi only downside is poor tv channels no english news channel
A special mention to the lovely raquel on reception who booked me 2 football matches to attend & a favela tour
Great location. The staff was very helpful. Nice facilities

We stayed at Novotel in Rio aver New Years and absolutely loved it. Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast every morning. 3 min walk from the beach.
We enjoy this hotel very much. The staff is great and attentive. The breakfast is very nice. We have been there 3 times for a total of 17 days and would go back without hesitation.
I love the location, so close to the beach, very nice roof terrace although it is small. The only disadvantage is the reception which has only a few members of staff so we had to wait one hour for check-in.
Friendly, helpful staff, tasty breakfast, quiet location close to Leme beach (best part of Copacabana), beach equipment available with no additional cost. Clean rooms and beautiful rooftop with pool. I really recommend.
