I had a great stay at this hotel with stunning views overlooking Guanabara Bay. The room was large, clean, and comfortable, though it wasn't very quiet at night due to surrounding noise and the air conditioning.

Overall, it's a solid choice with a few minor drawbacks.

Overall, a decent stay but with a need for some improvements.
