Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast costs extra — Breakfast is not included in the rate, though it can be bought on site at a modest price.
- Check-in ends at midnight — Arrivals are only accepted between 13:00 and 23:59, so late-night landings need planning.
- No pets allowed — If you’re traveling with a pet, this isn’t the place — the policy is no pets.
- Close to the action means noise — The central Copacabana location, with bars and nightlife nearby, can bring street noise — a note for light sleepers.
