Children & extra beds
Parents or a legal guardian travelling with children under 18 years of age must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels to Brazil, if just one of the parents is travelling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorising the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorisation, a judicial authorisation is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before travelling for more information.

Very nice hotel
The hotel itself is fairly good. The location doesn't look nice at all. I do feel sorry for them. It is not a dangerous area, but it looks really bad

A pior esperiência em hospedagem da minha vida.
Foi a pior esperiencia que já tive na minha vida.
Paguei por 4 diárias, utilizei apenas na noite que cheguei porque era um quarto de motel com rouparia super gasta e encardida, colchão emborrachado e duríssimo, mobiliário antigo e com aspecto nojento.
Fiz chekin na noite do dia 03/12 e fiz chekaut na manhã do dia 04/12, eram 4 diárias e não me reembolsaram nenhum valor.
Tenho 52 anos e essa foi a pior esperiência de hospedagem da minha vida.

De qualidade, recomendo
Gostei bastante, é confortável. Ainda mais pra região do centro do Rio de janeiro esse hotel tem boa qualidade em relação aos outros da região. Iria novamente.
Única coisa que senti falta foi secador de cabelo, (ferro de passar tinha, só pedir na recepção), e guarda roupas. No meu quarto tinha sauna, banheira mas não tinha guarda roupa. Pra minha viagem era legal só o básico, não precisava de banheira kk No mais recomendo

Com relação a limpeza, ao café da manhã e a recepção, foi tudo perfeito. Houve um contratempo nos primeiros dias com a água, no período da manhã faltava, mas no terceiro dia foi arrumado. Esse foi o único contratempo que tive, de resto foi ótimo, a recepção é 24h, então pude passear sem me preocupar com a hora.

Local péssimo e sem segurança
Pior hotel que já fui ao Rio de Janeiro, falta de segurança ao entra não perguntam se está hospedado, os corredores fedendo a mofo inclusive o quarto, não tem cobertas nem guarda roupa, cama dura e lençol sujo, inclusive aparenta ser um quarto de motel, televisão não pegava e não teve serviço de quarto não recomendo esse hotel péssima qualidade pelo valor pago
