Windsor Plaza Copacabana ★★★★

📍 Av. Princesa Isabel, 263 - Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro

"Take a deposit of £58 upon arrival. Rooftop bar never gave you change they would sometimes make you sign a receipt other times wouldn't so upon check out claimed we never paid one bar bill which we paid every time. They later took £60 from my account for 2 beers I'd already paid for. I emailed several times they choose to ignore. They even ignored trip.com. untrustworthy robbing people do not go. They removed table and chairs from 7.30pm new years eve forcing people to stand til after the fireworks. There was just no need for this as there was ample room. The bar manger was rude and aggressive to us. So unhelpful. There is no kettle huge no no in such an expensive hotel"

Royal Regency Palace Hotel
8.2 (68 reviews)

Royal Regency Palace Hotel ★★★★

📍 R. Arthur Bernardes, 15 - Catete, Rio de Janeiro

"There's a lot to say about this hotel. Let's start with the only positive point. It's well located in a lively area with many bars, restaurants, and shops nearby. However, regarding the amenities, the rooms are small, poorly laid out, the cleanliness is questionable, there's a smell of urine in the hallways, the room is poorly soundproofed, and it constantly smells bad—a mixture of sewage and urine odors. The towels are of mediocre quality, and so on… As for breakfast, there's a lack of choice. In"

Prodigy Santos Dumont by Wish
9.1 (48 reviews)

Prodigy Santos Dumont by Wish ★★★★

📍 Av. Alm. Silvio de Noronha, 365 - Centro, Rio de Janeiro

"The breakfast and swimming pool view are great. The room facilities are average, especially the soundproofing is very poor. The room next door plays loud music from 9 to 12 o'clock. I almost want to complain. But it is convenient and safe to call Uber. There is a small shopping mall next to it."

Majestic Rio Palace Hotel Hotels in Rio de Janeiro

Majestic Rio Palace Hotel

"A good hotel in the center of the Copacabana district. Nearby are cafes, shops, and bus stops, providing easy access to the Botanical Garden and Corcovado. The breakfast is very good (omelettes, sausages, bacon, ham, cheese, lots of sweets and fruit). It's a 30-minute taxi ride from Galeão Airport."

Hotel Atlântico Travel Copacabana Hotels in Rio de Janeiro

Hotel Atlântico Travel Copacabana

"The advertising photos don't reflect reality. The rooms are old and not very clean. The bathroom wall had mold that can be removed by washing it well. The sheets were almost transparent because they were so thin and had stains. The elevators didn't work well, and we always had to wait a long time to get on the elevator. Our flight was late, and when we arrived at the hotel, it was 2:00 a.m. Upon arrival, the receptionist seemed annoyed. He didn't greet us and didn't seem to want to help us. When he finally attended to us, he told us he wasn't expecting any guests and that we didn't have any reservations. I had made the booking on an English-language website, and all the information was in English. He got upset about this and said only Spanish and Portuguese... In the end, he found my name and let us in, but his rude attitude was very unfortunate."

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio Hotels in Rio de Janeiro

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

"The front desk staff were discriminatory towards Chinese guests. I booked a sea-view room, but when I got to the room, the window was completely blocked by a building – absolutely no sea view! Who puts up with this nonsense?! I immediately went down to demand a proper sea-view room. The front desk insisted it was the last room available. What was the point of paying extra for a sea view then???? Can anyone relate? I arrived in the middle of the night and had to argue. Finally, because I stood my ground, they eventually switched me to a sea-view room. Excuse me??? Are you trying to trick people?!"

CDesign Hotel Hotels in Rio de Janeiro

"I’m not even sure where to start. The reception people are mostly nice with a few exceptions, but all of them are extremely slow to do anything, had everything booked and ready pre-arrival, and still took over 15-20 minutes to get my room card. Staff does not bother to make it possible for an early check in, they will make you wait until 3pm exactly, and suggest that you pay another extra daily rate to check in 1-2 hours earlier. Got a call at 1am from the hotel reception, absolutely crazy stuff. Regarding the rooms and amenities: felt like everything was poorly cleaned, with dust, stains, stinky bathroom at times, TV does not connect to the internet, so don’t even bother trying to use Netflix. The pool area is extremely dirty and the pool itself looks like it was made for only 5 guests to use simultaneously. The gym is ok and free, so that’s nice. Spa and sauna are very overpriced and has a dirty atmosphere to it. There is NO place to fill your water bottle, you must buy the overpriced water available at your mini fridge inside your room. Finally, breakfast is mostly decent, but is completely packed, do not expect to be able to sit inside to eat breakfast at 9 am. In my opinion, stay somewhere else, for this price, you can definitely find something better."

"I couldn't check in early at 12:30, but they told me around 13:20 that I was ready, which was nice. The location is great, connected to the airport. However, the reception is at the very back, so it's a bit of a walk. It's a very large hotel; the rooms and hallways smelled a bit of disinfectant. There were quite a few people on the rooftop. P1/P2 show the view from the rooftop."
