Rooms are big and they keep the hotel very clean. Breakfast is always good and even one day my daughter got dizzy-sick they activated a protocol with first aid. Awesome and recommended. The rooftop is fantastic
My mom and I really enjoyed our stay here. We felt very safe and really enjoyed the rooftop lounge as well as the everyday breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.
A lovely hotel just one block back from the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean.
The roof top bar and pool are great.
My only slight negative is the staff at the roof top bar weren’t very friendly and I had to go to the bar to order food even though they were just stood around chatting.
Reception staff were great.
Lovely hotel 5 minutes walk from Leme beach which is a very safe area
Plenty of restaurents & shops ( supermarkets) close to hotel
Small rooftop pool thats hardly used due to beach location
Decent size room , nice hot shower , good wifi only downside is poor tv channels no english news channel
A special mention to the lovely raquel on reception who booked me 2 football matches to attend & a favela tour
Beautiful property, comfy bed, great pool, located in a beautiful area, and the lobby has a free arcade machine!!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
More a 2.5 star hotel - centrally located, quiet and close to the beach - next to good restaurants like Joaquina - area a bit rundown - personnel/service average with a few outstanding exceptions - overall good value for money for the holiday season.
I love the location, so close to the beach, very nice roof terrace although it is small. The only disadvantage is the reception which has only a few members of staff so we had to wait one hour for check-in.
Great location. The staff was very helpful. Nice facilities

We stayed at Novotel in Rio aver New Years and absolutely loved it. Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast every morning. 3 min walk from the beach.
We enjoy this hotel very much. The staff is great and attentive. The breakfast is very nice. We have been there 3 times for a total of 17 days and would go back without hesitation.
Nice place, they let me store my bag after check out while I walk on the beach. The room was spacious and the rooftop is nice

Liked: Staff & service
Good location for family and close to the beach. The hotel itself could use a facelift. The room was dark and old with things falling apart. Not enough elevators for the amount of people in the hotel. The positive was the breakfast. A lot of options to choose from but it was very crowded for most of the morning. The staff was very nice, cordial and helpful. The rooftop has a nice view and I wish that’s where breakfast was served.
