Untrained staff
This is a brand new hotel, with sauna, fitness center, jacuzzi and swimming pool. Everything in place for an excellent experience. But wait: this is Rio de Janeiro, and we obviously had bad problems with untrained, bored and bad tempered staff. As we arrived, I asked for the sauna and Jacuzzi (that we turned off), and was completely ignored by the receptionist, twice. I asked again (for the jacuzzi and sauna) for the life guard (that away from the pool when I dived) , but he was too busy with his cell phone: don’t expect your life to be saved. There was lot of noise in the reception because of final repairs in the doors, with workers all around, no explanation for that. In the morning, my room was opened by mistake (I hadn’t put the “don’t disturb” sign) and, for my surprise, I was waken up a second time by the cleaning supervisor asking if I wouldn’t have my room cleaned.... unbelievable. In summary, a beautiful hotel with employees that don’t really care about anything but going back home and earning a living. Customers are just an anoying detail.
Scientific conference at RioCentro
I stayed with a colleague for 4 nights and found these apartments satisfactory. Was perplexed to find a colleague had a suite for the same price of our 'deluxe' room. Service was average. Breakfast was good. The apartments were a few minutes walk from our conference venue. The city and beach was an hour away by cab and two by public transport.
No emergency lights on the corridors...
We went for the Olympic Games, the hotel was clean and new, the breakfast was good, everything was very well except for the fact that they run out of energy and I was outside my room in the corridor and there were no emergency lights so i could not find the door for the emergency stairs. Took a long time to find it because it was totally dark in there( no window, no emergency light).There were emergency lights only at the stairs.
Convenient for the Rio Convention Centre
I attended a conference in November and booked the Rio Stay because it was a short walk to the RioCentro Convention Centre. My room was compact but clean and with a good view of the hills. The staff were invariably pleasant and helpful. I had not realized before I arrived how out of the way it is - it is a significant taxi ride to anything except the conference centre and there is nothing else one can walk to. So, I'd recommend it if attending a conference and prepared to take a $20-30 taxi ride for evening entertainment
Ok hotel
The hotel is ok, the location was good for the Olympics, but other than that if wouldn't be my first choice to go when I'm in Rio again. Room Service is ok, but it takes them a long time to come. The breakfast buffet generally is good, but the scrambled eggs had egg shell in there - even for a hotel of this price range a nogo.
