The room didn't look as posh as it did in the pictures. Aircon didnt didn’t work properly which made it uncomfortable to sleep given how humid the weather was. They even charged for water at checkout, which is meant to be complimentary in most places. Housekeeping however was super nice and friendly.

I Booked a doble-deluxe-room – the room was not nice, not clean and for sure not Deluxe.
Hair and mold in the bathroom.
The security box did not work – calling the staff 4 times – nothing happened
The breakfast was on the lowest level you can imagen.
I wonder who would rate that es “Muy Buena” 8.4 ?

Minha estadia foi rapida, apenas uma noite.
Cheguei de madrugada e fui muito bem atendida e o check in foi rapido.
O quarto era espacoso, a cama muito confortavel, um espaço acolhedor.
Pela lateral da janela era possível ver o mar.
Cafe da manha muito gostoso e check out tambem rapido.

This property was just okay. The interior really needs to be updated. The pictures online are either outdated or pictures of a new room that I was not in. I thought there was a pool, there wasn't. The area seemed to be safe. I loved the fact that it was literally a couple of minutes form Copacabana beach. The breakfast was just okay as well. You get what you pay for. My experience wasn't terrible, i'd stay here again.

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

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. Almost all rooms have poor bathroom conditions, an arrogant maintenance person, etc. If they want it, with small investments they can change it dramatically. The location is fantastic (just 200 ft from the Copacabana beach) !! After the improvements, they can increase the rates and make money.

It is in a gear location for the beach. Also great for walking from there along the Boardwalk towards Leme and also to Ipanema and Leblon beaches. I liked going to the Tropik club across the avenue for breakfast instead of eating in the hotel. Much nicer to be by the beach. The price of the Orla Copacabana is reasonable. Has a pool area with good view along Copacabana beach which was nice.

Nos dieron una terrible habitación que no se parece en nada a lo descrito en la página. Estamos en espera de contestación de EXPEDIA ya que tuvimos que reservar otro hotel para poder disfrutar de nuestra estadía. Apenas cabe una persona por la puerta de entrada a la ducha. La ducha estaba llena de moho demasiado desagradable. Los mattress de las camas estaban rotos y curtidos. Las cobijas de las camas con manchas y las toallas en vez de ser color blanco ya estaban grises y rotas de lo curtidas que estaban. Solo pudimos soportar una noche debido a que no había disponibilidad en hoteles del área.

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.

Phenomenal - staff friendliness, from front desk to cleaning staff. Breakfast is off the charts. Location is perfect, near everything you want to see. Bed is a Florida King… I didn’t even know such thing existed… AC is cold, room is clean.
I would absolutely stay again, but not in room 506. see below.
I had a party of 11, therefore 3 rooms. They were all slightly different, which is fine, but in room 506 there wasn’t a door to give privacy to the potty user. The reason why there was no door is because one wouldn’t fit. I am not a big person ( 5’3” 130 pounds )and I had to go sideways in order to fit through the opening. My problem was not the privacy actually, was the size of the opening. I felt trapped. I commented to front desk which upon check out, who promptly said “we would have changed your room”. To which I replied: “if only you weren’t fully booked…”

Location was near the beach but the facilities are not good. The were giant roaches and excessive mold in the bathroom. They over charged me for a late check out. Make sure you paid right there and there, double check the amount and get a receipt. Breakfast was the same every day, by day 3 I went somewhere else for breakfast. They advertise a roof top pool on the pictures and internet but there’s none. Deceiving tactics. Be careful, there are other options around. I won’t patronize this place ever again.

Great Location, but needs improvement.

I was expecting better from the Hotel standard, but it is very basic. Staff are nice, but in need to be more professional. Breakfast good but need review on display and hygiene,,not felt much impressed to see how is maintained. Location perfect but Hotel needs some improvement in training and cleaning to raise the standard.
