Staff was amazing. Location was perfect. Pool was good and enough. Beds were a little cheap, in that there wasn't much padding.. felt. Like a box spring with a thin layer of cloth on top. We made it work by getting more blankets and putting them under the sheet. Breakfast was good, basic but good.

GREAT LOCATION as it's within walking distance of EVERYTHING noteworthy in the Copacabana/Ipanema areas. Extremely friendly and accommodating front desk team! Great great customer service and they engaged in relatively good English! The one older lady was truly the star of the front desk team, please give her a raise!
The hotel is well maintained BUT the rooms are very very basic. No frills. Pillows are not plush so offered little support for sleeping. Water pressure in shower was awesome! Nice hot water also. Basically no amenities (teeny tiney bar of soap that would basically be done after using it to wash your hands once lol). I had to go to the store and buy a bar of soap. TV had only Portuguese channels! Wifi was good (not excellent) but good and allowed me to do the things I needed to do. I was there for the NYE celebration so the price was super high, waaay higher than the quality of the room you're getting deserves but I guess they had to increase their rates like every other hotel for that occasion. Breakfast was mediocre. Boring selections. Orange juice tasted like water with a splash of orange flavor (yuck). They need to work on the Breakfast. Anyway, I guess I'd stay there again if I just wanted someplace to S.S.S.S (Sh*t, Shower, Shave and Sleep lol) in Rio at a moderate price.

Internet was a bit spotty for me but worked well for my sister. We noticed a mini bar can of soda had exploded and we mentioned in on checkout and they got upset we hadn’t immediately notified them. Otherwise enjoyed our stay as it is centrally located and the area felt pretty safe.

We specifically booked this hotel because we would have five days in Rio de Janeiro and knew that we would be spending some downtime at the hotel and it was one with the pool. First day we got there. The pool was operational so we had planned to swim the next day after we went to Christ the redeemer. We get back in the pool has no water in it and they said they had to do emergency repairs and that it would be open the next day. The pool didn’t open the rest of the five days that we were at the hotel and it was just a very big letdown. We wish that we would’ve talked to them about putting us in a different hotel with a pool after the first day, but we are promised that it would be open the next day. Then on the third day of the trip, one of the two elevators broke and we were left with one elevator between 11 floors. The wait time was horrible. Other than these complaints, the staff was great. The breakfast was great and the room was great.

Terribly uncomfortable, dirty, run-down old hotel

The entire hotel is a rundown old wreck. Looks like the furniture is from the 1960's and is heavily damaged, scratched.
Floors and lobby looked dirty and heavily used.
Two elevators aren't enough. People line up for ages especially during the early- and late hours.
Frequent electronic noise, buzzes coming from various places (not just the room equipment) occur especially during late hours.
Sometimes the door lock doesn't open and you have to travel between the reception and your room to get a new access card.
There's not enough staff and too little space in this hotel. Crowds barely had space to stand around the reception and the breakfast room would get flooded every morning.
Breakfast is above basic, but some foods run out fast (due to the crowds). It can also be hard to get a table.
It took 1 hour for the receptionist to check me in, although most people were just chatting to the receptionists or just standing there at the desk.
There was a weird old blocked wooden door in my room. Probably the neighbors had the same on their side. I could hear every itch and scratch, let alone loud talking from the other side.
Very noisy hotel.
Not enough soap. Sometimes they just don't replace the tiny hotel soap.
Poor internet connection. It just stops working for like 12 hours or longer. Speed is sluggish.
The only acceptable things about this hotel are: location - quite close to the Copacabana and some shops are nearby, receptionists are friendly and kind, cheap price!

I checked out and left my bag in the lobby. They gave me a ticket with a code and put the other ticket with the same code in my bag for identification. When I was about to leave I asked for my bag and a taxi, so the concierge told me to wait in the taxi and they would put my bag in the trunk. For my surprise, when I got to the airport the bag that I saw was not mine. At this point, I was freaking out because all of my personal stuff, my clothes and my documents were inside my suitcase - including my visa forms that can’t be replaced and are needed for me to go back to the US for my Masters that starts in 2 weeks. So I had to go back to the hotel, worried if they had gave my suitcase to someone else. When I got there the owner of the bag that was with me was also looking for her’s - in another words, it would have been a mess if I hadn’t gone back. Also I asked to change My blanked because apparently it was not clean - looked like some liquid dropped - and they never came to change it. Staff friendly though.

Service = meh.

When we got to the hotel, the room wasn’t even in their system and o even paid for the hotel room in full online. My family and I were asked to come back in about two hours to set up a room for us. I paid for their parking service and when we got back, they said there was no more parking space left after I paid for a spot. We told them to figure it out and handed the keys of the car to them because we paid for the service/parking spot.

Location is the only highlight

Desperately needs a renovation. Although the room has a fair size, the bed is terrible! The bathroom seems to be delicate as the flush doesn't seems to work well. The shower is the good part of you enjoy a water massage along the shower. The hotel itself is laid back with only one elevator working making you wait quite a bit for your turn. So don't call uber from you bedroom, wait till you are at the lounge. The good part was definitely the friendly and easy to approach staff and the breakfast. Summing-up it's a 90th's hotel in Copacabana.

room with bugs!

My room had bedbugs in the mattress. I notified the staff immediately about this
horrible experience.
The very first night that I arrived, the hotel had to send me to another hotel in their network because they could not accommodate my request for a 'quiet room'. The other issue was that CNN was not working in the hotel until I complained about it and then four days later a repair was made to the broadcast. Originally the station had no sound and only a picture.

Rio November 2015

Pool on the roof clean, but small. The building next door is under major renovation/building site. Most mornings I was woken by a hammer drill despite being on the 11th floor. That said the rooms aren't double glazed which was a surprise and the traffic builds up from about 0630 and can be easily heard on the 11 th floor. Finally the air on isn't very effective, certainly in my room.

Tried to get a late check out by just 1-2 hours leaving them plenty of time to get the rooms ready for the afternoon check in, but was declined. That seemed to be policy. That said the staff were very helpful and most spoke some English. Breakfast was better than I expected, but there is limited room and between 0900-1000 becomes very busy and hard to get a table.

All in all my friend and I had a good stay, having separate ensuite double rooms. Not sure it was worth £50 a night tho!

Great value, but is in the middle of a facelift.

We had a good stay in Rio. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Great morning breakfast, good location about 3 blocks off the beach, easy walk to the metro and 2 main bus lines. Some good restaurants, juice bars, and others nearby. Our room was clean, but a little beat up. AC didn't work super well, the pool and sauna were undergoing repairs and weren't usable. Toilet seat was partly broken as well. Comfy bed, good shower and well stocked snack bar (complete with male and female condoms, just in case).

Great Hotel

We stayed at the hotel for the world cup and it's a really nice hotel, the bus station is just two blocks away if you're a tourist and want to go and visit places. The room was always cleaned and the breakfast was always really good. The only thing that could be changed is the amount of time they take to check guest in and out, most of the staff was always really nice but there was a man at the front rest that was always on the middle computer on the morning shift that was not as nice as the other two girls.

Good hotel for the price.

The hotel is about 4 blocks away from the beach and it is very secure. The staff at the hotel are helpful and they speak various languages, so it was always easy to communicate with them about tours, different beaches, and even how to get to the maracana (we were there for the world cup). You can also see a view of Christ the Redeemer from the pool at the top of the hotel; however, I did not use the pool or the two treadmills they have up there, so I can't comment on those specifically. Rua Barrata Ribbero is a very popular street, so there were always plenty of people on the street and the hotel is close to many different stores and restaurants so it's location is ideal for a non-expensive hotel within 10 mins of the beach. Also, the breakfast buffet at the rest

The pros: The hotel location is great - it is only 3 blocks from Copacabana beach. Many good restaurants and shops are close by and the neighborhood seems very safe. Also, the hotel staff were quite cheerful and helpful. Several of them spoke excellent English. The cons: Major construction work is going on in the building attached to the hotel. Construction is very loud and starts early - about 7 am. The rooms are pretty basic and maid service is just OK. Wifi is not good. Pool is more like an oversized Jacuzzi but was unheated.

Hopeless service

We arrived before noon and were told our rooms weren't ready yet, so we paid and left our luggage in the locker room. When we got back in the evening the hotel had forgotten all about us and had to scramble to find some beds. I got a windowless closet on the first floor. There was not even a door lock. I chose to stay in my colleague's double room instead and was initially promised that I wouldn't have to pay for the other room. Then the hotel manager on duty changed her mind and wouldn't refund me. We had a major row in the reception. Eventually the guy in the reception the next morning gave me my money back, but it was all in all no pleasant experience.

Overall a good experience

The hotel was nice, but you have to know what to expect. From my experience, hotels in Brazil and Europe can often be older facilities than what we have in the US. This doesn't make it a bad place, though, just know what to expect. Yes, the rooms are very basic and older, but the hotel is affordable and the staff are friendly. Overall, I think it was a good experience for the price I paid. One recommendation though is to see the city on your own and not use one of their offered packages. The city is very easy to navigate by taxi, metro, and bus; and you will save a ton of money by doing it on your own if you have the time!

We ha booked 4 night and only stay less then 8 hours. Rooms were outdated felt like we were in a scary movie. Bathroom had no Celling so we can here the people next door and upstairs while they were doing their business and blowing their nose and you can imagine the rest. The view was to a building across the street. It was only 2 blocks from the beach. But to walk that at night was pretty scary. The roof was the only nice thing in this hotel and the service was okay. They had to switch our room because the a/c was not working. If i had to stay. I think i would have sleep near the pool for the remaining 3 days.

The hotel is in a good location, only three blocks from Copacabana beach shore, so it is easily in walking distance (less than 5 minutes). There are restaurants, convenient stores, and bars in walking distance. The rooms are a bit small and we recently stayed in late September 2013 and there was construction nearby that was very loud and unpleasant. Construction was from 10am to 4pm. However, for the money and price, it is fair and worth it. Rooms at my time were going between $180-220 a night depending on weekdays vs weekends. The Breakfast buffet was delicious and included in the price. You will need to pay for internet which is around $15 Brazilian Dollars a day. If your under a budget, this is a nice hotel to book.

The best thing about the hotel was the location being less than 10 mins from Copacabana beach and the view from the roof top with a distant view of Christ the Redeemer. The staff on reception were at best uninterested with customer service, happily ignored you if you were there asking for anything. The rooms were dated and shabby looking, but clean. Air conditioning unit sounded like a jet engine at take off whilst it was switched on. Shower was pretty much a fire sprinkler in the ceiling....not the most effective at washing sand off from the beach! Wifi you had to pay for and it was pitiful signal strength.

I really liked the hotel. It was really good for the price. It's not far from the beach, the super market, bus station and restaurants. The staff was very nice to us, especially Mr. Garner in the Reception who was a great help since we got to the Hotel, he helped me and my wife in different things through out the whole trip. I likled George as well. I felt like everyone was nice trying to help even some of them didn't speak english. One thing I loved was the breakfast, nice and fresh, I miss their bread and the little croissante. They cleaned our room when we wanted to. The view from the roof by pool is amazing, seeing Corcovado on top of the mountain. I would go back since my visa is for 10 years. I just want everybody to know that before they book a trip to Brazil. "AMERICANS NEED A VISA TO TRAVEL TO BRAZIL". I found out about it just one week before going there, me and my wife had to pay $700 to get it.

Amazing hotel but noisy during 9-5

In a city were very few people spoke English it was refreshing to stay at a hotel where both the front desk attendants spoke English. They were very helpful. (Simone was very helpful). Made great recommendations and were very accommodating to any of my requests. I was by myself and checked in 2 hours early so I got placed into a 3 bedroom, as a result I had plenty of space. I'm not sure how big the one bedrooms are.
However, from 9-5 there is very loud construction going on next door. You cant even hear a person directly in front of you talking over the drilling. Another hotel is being built (likely in preparation for the Olympics). Other than that no complaints.
The rooftop view is epic. The location is great.

Don't Stay in This Hotel

Since I have two kids and didn't see a room option for 4 people then I decided to call the hotel before I booked it. I talked to a manager of the hotel who told me to select the Triple-European room which I paid 30%/day extra . When I got there the same manager was a the front-desk and told me that he never heard about triple-european room and they dont have such configuration. He told me that I had to pay another 20%/day extra for a quad-room. I tried to remind him but he was rude and didn't want to listen andthis wasn't the only issue. The hotel is dirty, the rooms are very small, bathroom has no toilet paper, the service is amazingly bad, they charge $0.10c/min for wifi and they dont care about you. Very very rude people , dont stay in this hotel. I live in Phoenix but I am Brazilian and I know Brazilian people and hotels. I arrived on Monday with the plan to stay through the week but I left on Thursday because I and my family were very unhappy. I saw lots of Europeans downstairs unhappy as well with the rudeness and poor quality. I stayed at a hotel one block from Bandeirantes and it was totally different. Stay away from this hotel if you want to have a good time in Brazil.

Very good for the price, great breakfast and people are nice but not always reliable

Hotel Bandeirantes is a great place if you intend to be out and about most of the time. If you sleep late, request rooms facing the back, since even on the last floor the front is noisy - the hotel faces one of the busiest avenues in Copacabana. You can always go to the pool on the top for the view. Also the water pressure in the shower is weak on top floors so you may want to stay below the 9th. The rooms are functional - no carpets which is great, TV and phone work but the internet and phone service are a bit expensive (they need money somehow !). I left a more complicate instruction at the front desk and it did not flow to the late night person but they were good in being sorry. I would recommend this hotel for the location, price and cleanliness.

A limpeza do chão do quarto poderia ser melhor pois a areia permanecia após a limpeza. A descarga do vaso sanitário precisar sofrer manutenção. O café da manhã é excelente e os funcionários são um diferencial. Muito atenciosos. Parabéns.

Chambres correcte. Wi-Fi presque inexistant. Manque d'insonorisation, on entend tout ce qui se passe dans la chambre des voisins, y compris au WC !

Stanze nella norma , più che un 3 stelle sarebbe da classificare 2 stelle e mezzo o 2. Nella stanza della mia compagna di viaggio il servizio di pulizia è stato decisamente scadente, mentre nella mia non ho avuto problemi. Personale alla reception cortese, ma troppo interessato a suggerire ristoranti dove andare a mangiare. Ottima l' ubicazione vicino alla spiaggia di Copacabana e la prima colazione.

Kanske att de andra rummen som inte ligger högst upp är bättre. Rummet i sig var väldigt fint och stort. Men det var mögel i hörnen vid fönstret. Står att det ska vara ljudisolerat men vi hörde allt som lät från poolen och gymmet. Vill du sova, bo inte i sviten, lät som de körde centrifugering på tvätten hela natten. Gissar att det var någon motor på taket. Fruktansvärt, och inte mer än ett sorry när man sa till.
De flesta i personalen var jättetrevliga! Det var ett plus. Lätt att boka utflykter.
Bra område, stranden var inte allt för långt bort.
