The hotel's proximity to venues like RioCentro, Rock in Rio, Jeunesse Arena and the Minha Praia BRT station makes it a popular choice for event attendees. The tranquil environment is also valued by guests with specific commitments in the area. However, for tourists looking to explore Rio's beaches and urban attractions, the location proves to be less ideal due to its distance from prime Rio hotspots and limited nearby amenities.

While some breakfast items occasionally miss the mark in preparation and freshness, the overall experience remains positive for most visitors.

The dinner services receive mixed feedback. While the restaurant’s service and prices are appreciated, the quality of the meals can be inconsistent with issues like slow delivery and cold dishes. Nonetheless, the convenience of a 24-hour restaurant and room service adds value to the guest experience.

The hotel’s free parking is a notable convenience, providing covered spots and added security for vehicles. While generally satisfactory, availability can be an issue during busy times, leading to limited spots and crowded parking areas.

Location
Quality Rio de Janeiro - Barra da Tijuca enjoys a favorable reputation for travelers attending events at nearby venues like RioCentro, Rock in Rio and Jeunesse Arena. Guests consistently appreciate the hotel’s proximity to these event locations and its direct access to the Minha Praia BRT station, enhancing connectivity within the region. The tranquil and calm environment adds value, making it a good choice for business travelers and those with specific commitments in the area.

However, for tourists aiming to explore Rio's prime attractions such as the beaches and urban hotspots, the location proves to be less ideal. Despite the hotel being marketed under the Barra da Tijuca name, it is actually situated in Curicica, Jacarepaguá, which is considerably distant from Barra and much of Rio’s notable sites. This has caused some dissatisfaction among guests expecting a more central location. The absence of nearby amenities and dining options further emphasizes the need for transportation like Uber to navigate the area.

While the hotel boasts excellent accommodations, services and a commendable breakfast, the consensus indicates that it's more suited for business purposes and event attendees than for those looking to leisure by the beach or explore the tourist attractions.

However, it's clear that the breakfast experience isn't uniformly positive. Some guests have noted that the breakfast could benefit from more variety, especially for those with dietary restrictions or those staying for extended periods.

Instances of limited options and occasional issues with freshness, especially with the bread, were raised by more than a few reviewers.

The restricted opening hours, primarily closing as early as 6 PM and being closed all day on Mondays, were seen as inconvenient.

Maintenance issues were frequently mentioned; some reported cloudy water, occasional dirt and an overall lack of regular cleaning.

4 Star

Despite these concerns, some positive aspects stand out. The facilities are well-maintained and the hotel offers good value for its category. Guests appreciate the very good breakfast, praising the qualified chef, even though a more varied breakfast selection would enhance the overall experience.

The rooms, though well-presented, do not compensate for what some describe as an inverted star value perception.

The cost-benefit ratio leaves some guests feeling that their money could be better spent at another establishment.

In summary, while the hotel boasts some good characteristics such as well-maintained facilities and a commendable breakfast, it struggles to meet the overall expectations of a four-star rating.
