Me and my husband visited in may and we found the hotel great. In an ideal location as close to ipanema side and slightly away from
The main cocopabana strip. Also walking distance to lots of food and bars. Also has a lovely rooftop which we enjoyed for relaxing drinks with views of copabana beach.

I had a spacious room in good decorative condition with a direct view of Copacàbana beach. Strangely given the room size, wardrobe space was limited.The bathroom was also large and included an excellent shower. The breakfast buffet was superb. The roof top bar and pool was a welcome feature. The hotel sits at the southern end of Copacabana, so Ipanema is also within easy reach. Finally all the staff from the managers to the cleaners were welcoming and efficient. A difficult property to fault.

Not a 5-star property. The \"5-star\" label here is used the way \"artisanal\" is used on gas station sandwiches. It's a 3-star in a 5-star costume. Don't fall for it. Nuts & bolts below..

THE UGLY: They give you coffee pods but ask for ONE tea bag? That's extra. What arrives? An empty cup, a single tea bag, and a sachet holder with a dozen sugar packets. I wish I was joking.
Checkout is worse, You're held hostage while housekeeping inspects the minibar to confirm you didn't steal their precious 6 mini bottles of Red Label and vodka. Because apparently the $500 USD deposit on your card isn't enough collateral for $12 worth of liquor. Five star energy right there

THE BAD: The \"Luxo com cama casal\" upgrade is a straight-up scam. You pay premium for extra space that's basically a sealed-off balcony with zero function, an alcove cosplaying as a room. Save your money, book any sea-facing room. Oh, and even at the higher category, breakfast isn't included. The AC operates on vibes, not the temperature dial. Soap and moisturizer quality screams budget motel. And if you're a light sleeper, good luck, the sea-facing walls and windows let in every creak and groan like they're made of cardboard.

THE GOOD: Belldesk staff are genuinely wonderful. Sea views are lovely. It's right on the beach. That's it. That's the list.

The staff went above and beyond. Carlos was the best!! So polite and very professional. He always had a smile on his face. Please give that young gentleman a raise or a promotion. Great guy! The breakfast was excellent. A lot of choices. The free chairs on the beach were a great perk too. The pool was clean and the food at the pool area was delicious. The whole staff in every department made you feel like royalty. The beds were comfortable and smelled very clean. My only negative review was the gym. It’s very small and doesn’t have a flat bench or heavy weights. We had to go buy a gym membership up the block. Not a big deal for many but wanted to share my input. The AC was worked great and they also have 24hr room service. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for making this a memorable stay!

This is by no means a 5 star hotel. 3 star at best.
Property is run down. Bed was extremely uncomfortable - very old and run down mattress.
I stayed at the Fairmont a few days before for about the same price and that is a true 5 star property.

Excelente serviço, todos muito atenciosos principalmente os funcionários da recepção e portaria. Apesar da minha avaliação ser excelente, dois pontos negativos. O café da manhã é bem completo mas de preço muito alto. E o secador de cabelo é anexado a gaveta o que impossibilita o uso adequado se seu cabelo for comprido. Para um hotel 5 estrelas, espero uma solução melhor para hospedes que desejam usufruir de um secador de cabelo sem ser punidos pelo publico que leva para casa como souvenir (risos)….

I liked the location by the beach. I had a view of the beach from my room - which I loved. The room was dated and had a noisy A/C at night, which made it hard to sleep at nights. The breakfast buffet was really good. I also liked that a currency exchange was across the street.

This was a very mixed stay. We loved Rio but could not recommend the hotel.
1. Check in staff - they were so very rude. Just a reminder not to under estimate that not all travellers do not speak your language. The check in staff, including the manager were so rude - enough to consider if we would stay. Their laughing at customers is unacceptable. The staff member who checked us out was.loveky - thank you for your professionalism.
2. Rooms - rooms are fine. Great air conditioning. We requested a quiet room but got placed inbetween a party who had 4 rooms. They slammed the doors and ran between rooms for up to 3 hours. There is no free coffee in the rooms. They charge £14 for each nespresso - just be aware. We were out each day by 7am and ready for a shower by 4pm. Rio is hot! The rooms are not cleaned until 5pm. There is no shower gel provided in this 5 star superior hotel, just a bar of soap.
The neighborhood needs to be treated with care.

Breakfast is great. Waiters lovely. Pool looks unclean. Smoking allowed by pool even though notices say tgat it is not. Hopefully a fair and balanced review.

Positives
Great air conditioning
Great waiters
Breakfast good.

Cons
Very noisy
Watch the neighborhood
Rude staff at check in - hard to forget those first impressions.
Coffee charged for in the rooms.

Would not recommend. Plenty of other hotels to pick from.

We had to ask maid for towels and water. She took used towels and 1/4 water bottle and did not replace. I still tipped her $5USD. No light by safe or fridge. Inconvenient towel racks. Staff at desk nice but long lines and the process was slow due to all the forms, etc.

I booked a standard room without reading many reviews, assuming it would be a nice hotel. Unfortunately, the room we were given had a single window that faced a storage area. There was no view at all, and we never saw sunlight or proper daylight during our stay.

I really disliked the room right when I entered it and requested an upgrade for the eight nights we were scheduled to stay, but I was told there were no rooms available.

Paying over $2,000, I expected much more from this hotel. That said, most of the staff were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated.

In the future, I will make sure to call the hotel directly before booking to confirm exactly what type of room I’m getting.

The superior double was on floor 13 and we had an outstanding view over Copacabana.
We didn’t use the roof top pool - it wasn’t exactly crystal clear!

Overall, the hotel is excellent, and our stay was truly memorable. The facilities, service, and atmosphere exceeded our expectations, and the experience as a whole was extraordinary.

We would like to especially highlight Caio and the young Carlo for their constant help and kindness throughout our stay. A special thank you as well to Djaci for his excellent service and warm treatment during our dinners at the hotel, and to Patrick for his outstanding service during the afternoons and evenings.

We would like to give very special recognition to Jairan Andrade, who was absolutely incredible from the very first day. Jairan provided us with the best advice and recommendations, helping us enjoy an amazing trip in Rio de Janeiro. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made a real difference in our experience.

As a constructive point for improvement, the only area that could benefit from some attention is the front desk service. We had to complete the check-in process twice and received conflicting information regarding payment conditions. Additionally, we experienced recurring issues with our room keys over five days, which required us to return to the front desk daily for assistance. There were also some inconsistencies with bathroom amenities. Improving coordination and service at the front desk would further elevate an already excellent hotel experience.

We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return. Thank you to the entire team f

The hotel may need to do some renovation and have a way to air out the swimsuits.
We appreciated the breakfast buffet, the beach towel plus umbrella and chair service. That has helped out a lot especially during the busy days.
The area is conveniently located to find anything you'd want. The staff accommodated us when we arrived early for check-in, and stored our luggage after check out. Excellent experience and highly recommend it.
