Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience.

Staying at Hotel Sheik (Adults Only) in Rio de Janeiro was a mixed experience, but overall not what I expected. The mattress was uncomfortable and didn't support well, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. The air conditioning unit was very noisy—especially during the night—adding to the disruption. The hotel is located near ongoing construction and busy roads, so constant traffic noise made it difficult to relax. Breakfast was delivered to the room, which was convenient but felt impersonal. One major issue was poor sound insulation: I woke up twice in the middle of the night to find the room’s speaker turned on by itself. Even more concerning was how clearly I could hear conversations from neighboring rooms through the walls—complete lack of privacy. The shower pressure was weak, and the bathroom fixtures felt outdated. Overall, the place felt more like a themed motel disguised as a boutique hotel rather than a proper adult-only retreat. With the noise, poor acoustics, and subpar amenities, I wouldn’t recommend this property unless you’re looking for something extremely budget-focused.
