The location is absolutely perfect: right where Copacabana meets Ipanema, which is easily my favorite area to stay in Rio (close to the best beaches, restaurants, and the metro). The building itself is nicely renovated, and the staff are incredibly helpful. This is a very busy area all night long, and the street noise can be a challenge for light sleepers, so staying in a higher floor could be an interesting option. Manage your expectations wit thr breakfast: while the buffet is good, don't expect the feast that some reviews might lead you to believe. It offers decent variety, but it is ultimately quite basic for this hotel category. My only real grievance was housekeeping knocking at 8:00 AM, even on the weekend days. I highly recommend hanging the \"Do Not Disturb\" sign on your door if you plan on sleeping in.

Escolhi a Suíte Executiva do Rio Design Hotel especificamente porque o anúncio informava que o quarto possuía banheira. Inclusive, havia opções de quartos mais baratos, mas optei por esta categoria justamente por esse diferencial.

Ao chegar ao hotel, constatei que a banheira não estava funcionando. Ao entrar em contato com a recepção, fui informado de que houve um vazamento e que todas as banheiras do hotel estão desativadas. Perguntei sobre a possibilidade de troca de quarto, mas fui informado de que nenhuma acomodação possui atualmente a banheira em funcionamento.

Minha decepção não é apenas pelo inconveniente, mas pelo fato de esse serviço continuar sendo anunciado e influenciar a escolha e o valor pago pela hospedagem, mesmo sem estar disponível. Se eu tivesse sido informado dessa situação antes da reserva ou do check-in, poderia ter optado por outra categoria ou até mesmo por outro hotel.

A equipe foi cordial no atendimento, porém considero que a indisponibilidade de um dos principais diferenciais da acomodação deveria ser comunicada previamente aos hóspedes. Fica registrada minha insatisfação e a expectativa de que o hotel reveja essa questão para evitar que outros clientes passem pela mesma situação.

The hotel’s location is great, steps to Copacabana Beach and a short was to Pedra do Arpoador and Ipanema Beach. But the hotel is in serious need of an upgrade. Everything was dingy and the ancient bathroom tiles showed evidence of repairs. The safe didn’t work and wasn’t attached to the wall or shelf. The breakfast buffet was good and front desk staff were responsive and helpful.

The hotel is located at a super good location, very near to the beach and walking distance restaurants. However, the receptionist was a bit rude and gave us a room we did not asked for and did not wanted to change us. The next morning I talked to the other recepcionist and they confirmed that they had made a mistake with my reservation but the hotel was fully booked and we couldnt move.

In general it looks like a decaying premise. The room was spacious with a king bed, not required from me. No adequate space for sitting to work with a computer. Only one very rustic very high small table with two much above the average sitting benchs very unconfortable and dangerous to sit. Television had very few cable channels and the worst ones. In summary I would not recommend this hotel even for an enemy.

Save your money and run for the hills! They present pics as a kind of cool boutique hotel but it is in shambles. The bathrooms have mold, floors dirty, construction everywhere. You have to pay to leave your luggage for a couple of hours even when they didn't have the room ready. Another couple of clients had the same situation.

Great place to be close to both Copacabana beach and Ipanema. Many dining options & shops are located within walking distance. The beds were comfortable, A/C worked well, and the room was quiet for sleeping. Amenities are a bit scarce - minimal towels, no conditioner, no wine opener, no extra cups. Breakfast was nice with fresh fruit, juices, breads, coffee, eggs. The best part was the friendly, helpful door man! Definitely would recommend!

This hotel is advertised as 3.5 stars but is really a two star hotel by usual international standards. The rooms are run down (not like the modern images seen online) and the room wasn’t clean (sand on floor, grimy bathroom, mould). There was also no mattress protector, just a sheet which I find quite repulsive. The usbc port on wall also broken. When I advised reception they loaned a plug in charger however when I went out that evening, someone came into my room and took the charger which made me feel really uncomfortable. I also needed it for duration of the stay. The breakfast was reasonable and they provided gluten free bread which I appreciated.

The Management do not care to look into the condition of the each and every room.

The location is fantastic (just 200 ft from the Copacabana beach) !! After the improvements, they can increase the rates and make money.

My door didn’t work. I continuously changed my key but it was never the key it was always the door that wouldn’t detect the key. The workers would use their key and it would still take at least 10 tries to work. I asked for a change of room and I was told it wasn’t a good enough excuse to change my room. Then, when they realized they said they would change my room then didn’t. Then, they said they didn’t have any rooms. It took them 3 days to finally change the lock which still had troubles, but was somewhat better. The staff would ignore the issue and they are very unprofessional.
