“Very helpful staff and great location for Lapa. Streets very busy so you feel safe though there are many 'characters' making the area vibrant though some might feel a little anxious.”

“Well located, despite the decline of Rio de Janeiro's downtown. There are plenty of shops nearby, providing a true city experience. Lapa is known for its bohemian vibe, but the hotel offers a bar if you don't want to risk going out at night.”
