    Marvelous family stay in one of the best hotels on all of Copacabana!

    • Superior Triple Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    - Room service could've been better - our maid(s) frequently failed to exchange towels or sweep the floors clean. - We sorely missed a simple foldable clothes dryer: it's a must for a beach hotel! - On certain days you could feel the smell of food from the restaurant downstairs through the AC vents. - The WiFi internet was hit-and-miss: some days it worked fine, while others - it often disconnected. - The breakfast somewhat lacked variability - only a couple of dishes were exchanged day to day. - The need to use keycards to go anywhere in the hotel and even to use the elevator was somewhat of a nuisance, although I think this has been for security reasons. Overall, these were minor things that didn't bother us much.

    + Location at the forefront of Copacabana beach - a walking distance to the beach, and very close to lots of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues. + Nice and well-fitted room with a great view (at least in our case). + Friendly and very helpful staff. + Nice breakfast in a restaurant with a view on Copacabana. + Fantastic rooftop terrace with a pool, a bar and spectacular view on Copacabana beach and Sugarloaf mountain (and partial view of Christ the Redeemer statue). + Check-out at noon.

    Loved it all. Breakfast buffet had TONS of choice although we pretty much kept to fruit & pastries.

    We were assigned room 1402 on the rooftop deck level. It had a great view of both the statue & the beach. Any noise from the bar area ended just after 10PM every night so was not an issue. The AC was noisy but we shut it off for sleeping. Concierge booked a hang gliding experience for us which was amazing!

    Our room was directly below the patio which can be noisy, especially when chairs are being moved for set-up at 7-8AM.

    Excellent location. We stayed in 1305 which had a living room, very comfortable bed, and excellent views. Breakfast was good with lots of selection.

    The rooms are tiny, with no tissue or iron in them. The Cleaning could be better overall, especially in the washroom. There is a smell of fish in the hallway, the elevators are super tiny, We have had the same breakfast for 10 days. For the amount of money I paid, I was expecting more. More of a three-star hotel

    Great location with friendly staff.

    Main street was closed for transit which made it difficult for ubers/guides to pick us up. We had to walk to another street and jump in the car in the middle of traffic. No free water bottles in the room.

    There are only two narrow lifts that can get busy at times. Moreover, breakfast have a great variety but they could improve the quality of the food served there.

    It is a great location, in the heart of Copacabana. There are several shops and restaurants nearby and it is very easy to commute from the hotel to the main touristic attractions. I also had a chance to get a room with sea view, which is highly recommended.

    The fitness center could have been better as it only has a few machines and limited space.

    The daily breakfast is very nice - has everything you need. The location is near the beach of Copacabana and the rooftop has an amazing view of the beach. The room is decent but not fancy.
