The hotel is next to an abandoned gas station that makes the area look sketchy. The hotel itself is nice inside with modern decor and a clean vibrant atmosphere.
Staff were friendly and polite.
Room was clean and the bed surprisingly comfortable. Best bed I slept in on this entire trip.
Would stay again.

This hotel was great. It’s located conveniently close to the airport. A few mins drive via airport shuttle. The shuttle runs every 20 mins.
The hotel room was simple but more amenities on first floor. Breakfast was simple. They let u check in when room is available. You don’t have to wait till 2 pm.

This is a good hotel, if you need to be close to the GIG airport. They provide an efficient and free shuttle service. Bar and restaurant have overlapping schedules so one or the other is open at any given time. Staff were patient and helpful with my lack of skill with conversational Portuguese. The room was a standard hotel room, with no issues
