Ritz Leblon

Summary: - extremely loud - not clean - extremely high prices —＞ if you expect that it will be worth it - it won’t - could not check in on time Noise: Unfortunately the loudest hotel I have ever been to. The walls are extremely thin - my neighbour had a cold and was sneezing and coughing the whole night and it feels like he is sneezing right next to you. Some of the air conditioning units are not mounted properly (each room has their own outdoor unit) and are extremely loud and vibrate. The first night my bed was vibrating because of the neighbour’a air conditioning. I could not find any sleep so I was given another room that unfortunately had the same problem (and it was a downgrade). I changed rooms 4 times in a 8 night stay) in a desperate attempt to find any sleep. In the end I upgraded to the suite and was ripped off - ended up paying more per night than I would have if I had just booked the suite in the first place. Cleanilyness: To give an example of the overall state of cleanliness I add two pics of the blankets of the rooms that i found when I moved in. After informing the reception, they didn’t even change them the next day. The overall cleanliness level is not great - also compared to other Rio hotels. General room set-up: Rooms facing the street are very loud. It is not just the street noise but also the aircon that stands on the wooden floor of the balcony without any insulation underneath. The looks of the rooms are nice, if you don’t look closely. In one room the curtains were too slim to actually close fully, in my current room the windows facing the street don’t even close properly. View is not great as there are high buildings right next the hotel.
