"Let me start by saying the hotel is beautiful, I booked a Junior suite & it was stunning. Unfortunately, our experience at Nacional was disappointing. We arrived for a 5 night stay on Easter Sunday Apr 5th & on arrival the front desk told us we didn't have a reservation even though we'd fully prepaid for our room through Expedia. I showed them copies of the confirmation on the app, the printed email showing it was paid & the message the hotel sent us through the Expedia app the day before providing us with check-in details. After about 30 minutes they found our reservation but in their system it was for the 6th not 5th & they told me to contact Expedia, because it was an Expedia problem, not theirs. I contacted Expedia who confirmed we clearly had a reservation from the 5th-10th, but since it was Easter Sunday the hotel said the only way they can let us check in was if we paid for the night of the 5th & they'd sort it out the next day. So we paid & it turned out the hotel charged it to us as a cash advance instead of a credit card charge, the next day they cancelled the charge, but due to how they processed it we lost out on the exchange & were charged a cash advance fee, When I asked them to fix it they told me to take my issue up with Expedia & my bank. Unfortunately, it didn't get better, they treated us like 2nd class guests during our stay. Housekeeping decided to skip our room on day 1 even though we reminded them twice & we had to ask for towels daily. SO DISAPPOINTING"

"Thought it had a pool when booked but no pool. The rooms were clean but overall the hotel just felt small and cramped. The elevators were also super slow. "

"Very good"

"Perfect location"

"The noisiest room I’ve ever stayed in. The windows don’t reduce the overwhelming street noise."

"Breakfast was great"

"First off, this is a favela, and it’s amazing. The views are unreal, the space is comfortable, and it’s easy to just stay here all day and not want to leave. That said, it *is* still a favela, so come prepared. If you have multiple bags, use Google Translate to arrange a motorbike or van to get up the hill. Ubers can take a while and often stop running around midnight. My stay was incredible. I didn’t realize breakfast was included every morning, and the family here is so welcoming and kind, above&beyond. On my first day they were having a barbecue and invited me to try traditional foods like maionese and churrasco. Later we went to a bloco party together and they made sure I felt safe the entire time. There are community rules, and the hosts clearly explained where to go and what areas to avoid. I genuinely felt safe and cared for. There’s a strong sense of community here. There are different room types with or without AC. I chose a non AC room. It was a little hot during the day but not unbearable. Pro tip: the rooftop is cooler and doubles as a lounging and viewing deck. I also didn’t know how to turn on the hot water at first, so ask for a quick walkthrough. If you prefer very modern, sturdy bathroom fixtures, this may not be the best fit. This is not something you can experience through a tour. To understand the warmth and daily life of a favela, you have to live in it. If you’re open minded and prepared, this stay is truly special. <3 Thank you for all the hospitality "
