I had a mixed experience at Plaza Spania Boutique Hotel. The friendly staff and great breakfast were definitely highlights, and the location in Botafogo is perfect for exploring. However, the rooms were smaller than expected, and the noise from other guests made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.
