Rio de Janeiro hotels in Copacabana

Close to the beach Very worn out hotel, unprofessional staff (it took 1 hr to check in), rooms were old, looks more like a 1 star hotel/motel than a 5 star hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. A true tourist trap!!!!

Staff were polite and cooperative...one guy helped us a lot his name is Daniel at the reception. Location...at the beach and many shops are around Security for the hotel is good Food at breakfast is boring where every day with the same dishes Facilities and furniture some of them are old Gym is small and has to pay in order to get inside Prices are high for accommodation and minibar no complementary water or coffee like similar 5 stars hotel no free Wi-Fi except at the lobby... late check out is expensive....

Very good location and good/modern facilities

Location. The service is really poor., the rooms extremely dated, I would not recommend to anyone and or return.

Other than location, nothing else. There are too many things I did not like about Rio Othon Palace. Here's just a few: 1) They cheat you by playing with words. "Guaranteed Ocean View" room will get you a room on the side of the building with a distant view of the ocean 2) Absolutely rude front-desk staff 3) Confirmed to by e-mail that they would put an extra bed in the room but refused to do so during check-in 4) "Heated Pool" is anything but heated. 5) Said they exchange Canadian dollars but refused to during check-out time. 6) Hotel is very old, falling apart, and badly in need of renovation. Overall, a 2-star hotel at a 5-star price. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone and will use every forum to warn other tourists about how they cheat you.

the location hospitality of staff value for money is too high Gym not free poor internet connection in lobby. no free WiFi in rooms.

Excellent location with good view The pool was very small. The breakfast not as good as good as other hotels in this price range, The reception staff were not very friendly or helpful, which is unusual in Brazil.

Location on new YEAR's eve The standard of the room was unacceptable... But the hotel are under restoration and renewing... Which means that our room might be comfortable in the future.

I found this hotel on good location in the best locate of copacabana beach.staff were helpful and kind the room was clean as well. loby was small.

Rooms in backside are so small. Just suites and delux rooms are front side and see Atlantic. We dissapointed about our rooms and we couldn't change rooms. We couldn't open windows back side of the hotel, it doesn't seem save. Air condition didn't work so we couldn't sleep because of hot and airless. Staffs are so rude and not helpfull. We reservated a shuttle to go to airport and learned the price but they arranged a small shuttle for us and tried to give 2 shuttles and take more money. We had to arranged taxies on the way and we could catch the flight hardly.

Nice swimmingpool. Room clean and big no good restaurant

Needed a place for one night and the hotel was sufficient for that: Good breakfast.

everything

roof top veiws was nice.great location. We arrived at the hotel at three oclock pm and where told our room wouldnt to free for half and hour , i had made the reservation requesting a luxurious double room with double bed, found the room to be quite standand small and instead it had too single beds not double,and it took staff an hour to resolve the situation ,by pulling the bed togeather instead of giving us a double "luxurious" (not) room. After such a the long jouney,we where a little dissapoited.

I enjoyed being so close to Copacabana beach and the view from the top of the hotel. The rooms are TINY, the pool is nasty (and also small) and too expensive.

Really beautifull view on Copacabana beach from the window.The best panorama from the pool on the top level.I sertainly recomend this hotel.

The location of the hotel is perfect! The rooms are big but old..... Wonderful breakfast buffet.

Good staff, good location. Breakfast sufficient. Noisy- even on 7th floor. Single pane old style sash windows let in lots of noise. No roof terrace/pool. Hardly "luxurious".

The location Bar naff, expensive,dull boring nil music. Didnt like 2 c laptops used over breakfast. Staff took no action on it.

facing copacabana beach bathroom facilities

The Hotel was as exccellent location.The rooms were a bit small for 2 people.The beds were clean but the over covers were old The reception is too old and dull not at all inspiring or making the guest feel at ease.May be it needs newer furniture and some more positive energy.The hotel bathrooms are too old and not very encouraging.The TV was fizzy and not easy to watch some channels.

the hotel rooms are outdated (room 202)

Wifi was reliable and breakfast/location were OK - about a 5 minute walk to the beach in a pretty decent and well lit neighborhood. For US travelers, this is very reminiscent of the highway motels you may have been to in the early 90s - cable TV on a faded CRT tube TV, weird controls for the lights, noisy wall air conditioning unit that sort-of worked and bathroom that's sketchy in every way possible - with a dripping shower to boot. Staff at checkin wasn't too interested in offering maps, directions, suggestions - felt very awkward having to pry some details out of them and all answers were one or two words. They were quite chatty about offering tours and doing currency exchange. At $250/night this is borderline criminal of an accommodation but they are cashing in on the Olympics.

The hotel was what you would expect for the money. The rooms were nice and clean, the breakfast was good and there was a roof top pool We booked this hotel because they said that they had a airport shuttle service, they do not. The staff could have been more helpful and they charge 50c a minute for the internet.

Location. The bedding was thread bear and dingy. They charge for ice. No iron.

Good breakfast, city tours, good airconditioning Poor internet connectivity...the connection was breaking up

THe air conditioning, the roof top pool and also the wide choice of television channels.

The staff of the hotel was great, especially Mr. Mario Rene from reception. the stars assigned to hotels in Rio de Janeiro should be reviewed. In general, a 4 stars hotel in Rio is equivalent to a 3-star hotel in europe and this hotel is no exception.
