Hotels near Garden of Allah

"Issues we had with this "5-star" hotel: 1. The check-in process is laboriously slow; 4 people ahead of me and it took more than an hour to get through with 2 people handling checkin. Had to fill out the same personal information that was provided when I booked. Total waste of time. 2. The water in the shower did not drain - the slope was away from the drain 3. The cap around the water control for the shower was loose. 4. Water was not hot and had to call maintenance twice. 5. Coffee/tea was not stocked well and no black tea. 6. I booked an ocean front room and we were given a room overlooking the parking roof! Yes, if you step out on the balcony and look left, you can see the ocean! Total bait and switch."

"Everything and everyone fantastic! Only thing you guys need more attention to cleanliness of pool area including pool, you need someone to act as pool boy and clean and take care of water inside pool every day , specially a pool this small. It’s wonderful but its dirty."

"The pool area was too small, but you won't need it. The beach is absolutely amazing and right across the street. The rooftop views though are amazing. You can see all of Ipanema and Leblon beach along with Christ the Redeemer on the mountain top. "

"Young staff were very kind and helpful "

"Awesome vibe, great staff. I stayed in the private room. I do recommend the hostel to solo travelers as the staff makes sure to relay events allowing guests to meet and go out. Daily happy hour free Caipirinhas. "

"There was a huge coachorage in my bathroom and after I hardly killed that oneand couldn’t sleep I saw another one next day. I asked them to change my room and they said they can’t and they don’t have any room. After I insisted so hard they accepted and all of a suddeb there was another room. I know there are coachorages hidden behind bathroom doors wooden pieces, so if you get that kind of room where there is space they can hide you will most likely sleep with one and even see it and scream like I did. God they are huge!!!"

"Room was fine. One problem: it was impossible to obtain replacement towels or additional toilet paper over the weekend, when we needed them. The front desk was not able to help at all."
