Good location - close to Lapa, Gloria and Cinelândia. You can walk to Flamengo beach and Gloria Marina for a boat ride. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the shower is hot with excellent water pressure. The breakfast is good.

The room was very colorful, but it was very comfortable. the lights and different settings were very cool. very modern . The staff was very nice and professional, especially Leo. For a foreigner is very difficult to adapt to Brazil, everything felt different to me, but he explained to me everything and was very patient.

The area is terrible. Very dirty, noisy, a lot of homeless people. The only good thing about this hotel is the staff and the breakfast. I wouldn't recommend it for solo female travelers, especially first time in Brazil. I was so shocked and scared to leave my room.

Hotel did not actually accept reservation

Hotel claims to have lost my reservation and so I had to find accommodation elsewhere. Front desk staff were very helpful in locating a replacement hotel, but this situation never should have happened in the first place

No dia de me hospedar o hotel entrou em contato comigo falando que não tinha condições de me receber, deram a opção de cancelar ou realocar para um hotel parceiro. Então já que é parceiro vou considerar também isso para avaliação. Ficamos no Parque Hotel, que é bem mais barato, porém não recebemos nenhum reembolso parcial. Dando a entender que ainda ganharam vantagem, pois paguei o preço do Villa Rica. Quando chegamos no hotel, nos barraram falando que o Villa Rica não tinha comunicado nada, entramos em contato e conseguiram um quarto. O quarto não tinha ar condicionado, tivemos que deixar uma janela aberta que dava pro poço de ar, que por ser primeiro andar ainda estava sujo, também não tinha comunicação com a portaria, o ralo do banheiro estava bem entupido, os funcionários não queriam ajudar. Por exemplo, de dia fomos pedir roupa de cama e falaram que só forneciam a noite, mas a noite quando pedimos falaram que tinha acabado e que era pra ter pedido de dia.Na saída ficamos esperando e gritando alguém para abrir, pois a funcionária estava distraída. De bom somente o fato do quarto estar limpo, e o café da manhã simples porém ok (aliás as funcionárias da cozinha são as mais educadas e simpáticas).
