Lonely Planet Review

Along one of Copacabana's most peaceful streets, this simple three-story hotel has some charming, old-fashioned features, and it's a nice alternative to the high-rises found elsewhere in the neighborhood.

On our last visit to town, we saw monkeys scuttling about on the trees on nearby Praça Edmundo Bittencourt. This only adds to the allure of the quaint tree-lined neighborhood. The hotel itself is set in a white building with blue shutters and has a handful of comfortable rooms with wooden floors and dark-wood antique bed frames, but few other furnishings. The best are the front-facing rooms as they come complete with small balconies that catch a fresh breeze in the evenings. The rooms at the back feel a little cramped without the added space. It's less than a 10-minute walk to the mayhem of Copacabana beach.
