Janeiro Hotel

Despite looking a dated, this is a surprisingly comfortable, hip and laid back hotel, located in a really safe area of Leblon and in walking distance of the shops / bars. Only 3 rooms per floor, with the deluxe suite being big and welcoming (in a 1970s way, but with flat screen TVs in lunge and bedroom); the normal suite is a little underwhelming. The master suites have the full beach view, and are more open plan...but pricey. If you can't afford the copacabana palace or the fasano, this is a decent alternative

Staff at check in had a slightly odd moment where they knowingly tried to overcharge me, but they soon came clean. The lobby is very underwhelming.

Comfort and Location

The decoration.

The location and the staff are great! It's a bit expensive but the appartments are spacious and the service is great! The best restaurants of Leblon like Celeiro is really close!
