The breakfast options met my expectations.
The room I was assigned faced the street. The noise was excessive because there was a significant gap in the window. The WiFi was also unreliable. It was frequently weak or unavailable.

Balanced experience

great locationwood decorationquality breakfaststreet noiselarge gapunreliable wi-fi
I appreciated the location since it is in Ipanema. It is near the beach without a street in front. The decorations included a lot of light, white, and wood. The breakfast offered a top-quality selection.
My room faced the street and was quite loud at times. A large gap existed in the window facing the street. Hotel Wi-Fi was inconsistent so I found it unreliable.
