The property itself was not bad (ie., room, location). The hotel was even located conveniently in Rio (ie., in between Ipanema and Copacabana). My room was located on the 11th floor; however, that did not mean it was not susceptible to noise. The outdoor noise was not the problem. The building would create noise that sounded like construction and furniture being moved, particularly during the night and early mornings. As a result, this made it very difficult to sleep at night. It was so bad, I would not book with this hotel again, and I would suggest to others to refrain from booking with this hotel to mitigate the risk of such noise, especially if you care about getting a good nights rest on your vacation or trip.
