The hotel staff is kind but it is difficult to find someone speaking English. The rooms are amazing, extremely large, and full of any comfort, but unfortunately, the location is quite penalising. It is in the Centro ( downtime), and this area is very dangerous, full of thieves, homeless, with the roads stincking. You are forced to stay in or move around only with Uber. Otherwise, you risk to be involved in an assault ("assalto") and get you robbed ( pls wear down, take all your valued belongings in the safe, and use a very low quality phone for directions and photo if you don't want to take risk). Rio is not safe for the tourists in this area.
