The area is terrible. Very dirty, noisy, a lot of homeless people. The only good thing about this hotel is the staff and the breakfast. I wouldn't recommend it for solo female travelers, especially first time in Brazil. I was so shocked and scared to leave my room.

The room was very colorful, but it was very comfortable. the lights and different settings were very cool. very modern . The staff was very nice and professional, especially Leo. For a foreigner is very difficult to adapt to Brazil, everything felt different to me, but he explained to me everything and was very patient.

O quarto estava limpo, ar condicionado funcionando super bem. Um leve cheiro de humidade mas nada que cause incômodo. Cama confortável. Café da manhã delicioso e bem servido, atendentes muito atenciosos, especialmente Mateus que é super competente, carismático e solícito. Uber chega rápido no local e delivery também. Não aproveitamos as imediações pois foi viagem para tratamento de saúde, mas a região é central e boa para turismo. Recomendamos.
