Nice place ata reasonable price!
Very slow checkin... but very nice! One of the elevators was not working so it would sometimes take a while to get to your room. The lobby was nice and the rooms we ok.. a bit outdated but nice size rooms Air conditioning worked well. Breakfast buffet was very nice with great selections! Overall not a bad hotel for the price! Was great location for The concerts I was there to see!

Convenient, safe location with wonderful view
I took one of the rooms with the view of Pao de Acucar, and it was fantastic. Get up for sunrise and you can get some spectacular pictures. The location felt very safe and was convenient to the Catete station on Rio's Metro line. The staff were great, and all the features of the room (heater, plugs, lamps, TV, bathroom fixtures) worked great.
In terms of comforts, it would be great if they used fitted sheets for their mattresses (with the elastic band) to hold them in place. They just used tucked sheets. Not a big deal, but odd. Would also be good to have a coffeemaker/electric tea kettle of some sort given that water in Brazil isn't potable. These are common in most other countries even in 2 to 3 star hotels.

Worth a visit
Fantastic location right at the ocean, in a local community neighborhood with a good, popular beach just 100 yards away. Solid internet and very good free breakfast. Clean room and friendly staff. The fitness room is really just rusting scrap, so avoid that.

Excellent locaton and value
Stayed in this hotel in late October 2017. It is well located opposite the beach, and a relatively easy (and safe) walk to the Flamengo shopping area. The room was a little dated but quite comfortable, and the entry to the hotel is rather "old style" grand. Staff were very helpful and obliging.

Hotel stay around carnival period
I and 2 other friends stayed here during the carnival period. We were fairly pleased with the hotel as a whole, affordable, although the rooms were a little plain. We were hoping for a sea view room but had got a room with basically no view which was a little disappointing - they did offer to upgrade us at a cost which we felt was a bit too much at the time. As it was carnival period it was quite lively local to the area but it is in a fairly central location to the main beaches (approx. 10 min taxi ride to copacobana) and then downtown rio (which was preferable to us). Other services (check in/out, breakfast, room service etc.) offered by the hotel were good and staff were pleasant and friendly. The hotel could do with a swimming pool though! Generally we had a nice stay and didn’t come across any problems.

Well located but outdated
The hotel is very well located (especially if you want to go to Carnival parades of "Escolas de Samba", however despite the fact that there have been some changes made, they are not enough. The room still has old-fashioned wall units A/C. Small TVs and the bathrooms have been partially renovated (they still have old towel racks and old door knobs which are rusted. The bed (in my case a queen size) had a bump in the middle. Also, the towels are old.

25th anniversary trip!
Ending our 25th anniversary trip, we decided to book a nicer hotel! We loved our stay here. Here's a tip, visit the gym on the 12th floor for a great view of Christ the Redeemer at night!

Friendly staff in a very old and run down hotel
The hotel is clean and the staff is nice but it is in serious need of upgrading. The bedding, furnishings and fixtures are very old and ratty, the light in the bathroom flickered and the place was just not comfortable. I think they may have been remodeling some of the rooms because a strong smell of paint thinner permeated my floor, but it may just have been the chemicals they use to clean.

Lovely people, lovely hotel.
The people of the hotel (and the whole city, in fact) COULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICER. The only reason for not giving all 5 stars was that there was no dedicated concierge, so if the desk was busy with check-ins, we had to wait for directions, etc.

Nice for the price and close to Flamengo Beach
During its heyday this hotel was really nice. Now expect one of the four elevators to be out of service most of your stay. It is fine, not in bad shape, and for the amount of time you will likely be in the hotel, perfect. Our room was updated and comfy, bathroom looked great, shower pressure was awesome, and view was great. There are soccer courts right in front with big lights shining on them and probably into your room until the AM so definitely draw the curtains.

Nice place, great view
Good place. Clean, safe and convenient to everything. Very close to both metro Catete and Flamengo park/ beach area. Slightly down at the heels feel. Be prepared for slow elevators or take the stairs. Internet slow. But Novo Mundi is a classic old place with a good feel to it. Nice Jazz in the restaurant in the evenings. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Unpretentious. It's my go to place in Rio.

Horrible experience
Staff is courteous and friendly, but the facilities are horrible, serious need of remodeling. Unless you get a room on the 12th floor, which I had to complaint to be upgraded, you will get a outdated room with a heavy smell of mold, bad mattress and stained carpet.

Nice Hotel.
Well-priced, clean hotel. Nice bar with music just about every night. Common areas are a little dated. Upper floors with view of SugarLoaf are preferrable (and I think the most recently updated).
