In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score lower than other categories — The facilities category is rated 6.1, the lowest among all rating categories, suggesting room for improvement in common areas or equipment.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Pool may be closed for refurbishment — One guest noted the pool was being refurbished, though management arranged access to a sister hotel's pool, so this may be a temporary issue.
- Potential for street noise — Despite good window quality mentioned in one review, the hotel's central Copacabana location near lively streets could result in noise for some guests.
