Royal Rio Palace Hotel
Absolutely stunning stay at Royal Rio Palace Hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything felt premium and thoughtfully designed. The rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished, offering a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. The breakfast was exceptional—fresh, delicious, and full of local flavors, with a wide variety of options to suit every taste. I especially loved the rooftop gym on the 18th floor; it's well-equipped with modern machines and offers panoramic views of Rio that make working out feel like a treat. And then there’s the pool—outdoor, surrounded by lush greenery, with breathtaking views of the city skyline and ocean beyond. It’s not just a place to swim, it’s an experience. Every detail, from the service to the ambiance, screams quality. This hotel delivers far beyond expectations—highly recommend for anyone visiting Rio!
Windsor Plaza Copacabana
Staying at Windsor Plaza Copacabana was an absolute highlight of my trip to Rio! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Copacabana Beach and surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and small grocery stores. While the room isn’t huge, it’s well-designed with all the essentials: comfortable bed, good lighting, clean bathroom, and modern amenities. Breakfast was fantastic—fresh fruit, local pastries, coffee, and a great variety to start the day right. I’d definitely recommend booking with breakfast included; trying to add it later meant paying full price with no discount. One thing to note: parking fees were higher than what was listed online—maybe due to seasonal pricing near year-end, so plan accordingly. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money, great service, and a convenient central spot. If I ever return to Rio, this will be my first choice again.
Villa Laurinda
Warm welcome from Walter upon arrival and Daniel was equally attentive during breakfast. The rooms are beautifully designed with high ceilings and Italian-style showers—plus, one spacious room in a separate building comes with an even larger shower area, perfect for relaxing. Breakfast was exceptional: fresh juices, homemade pastries, and freshly baked bread—all made on-site and delicious. The location is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, yet just steps away from the charming cafes and lively restaurants of Santa Teresa, which come alive both day and night. This neighborhood alone makes the trip worthwhile. Villa Laurinda truly stands out as a unique gem in Rio de Janeiro—a place that feels special from the moment you arrive, and one I’d happily return to again.
Prodigy Santos Dumont by Wish
Check-in was a bit delayed—expected at 12:30, but they only confirmed room readiness around 1:20 PM. Still, the experience overall was positive. The hotel’s location is unbeatable, directly connected to the airport, making transfers and early flights super convenient. That said, the front desk is tucked away at the back of the lobby, so you’ll need to walk a bit through the spacious corridors. The rooms and hallways had a faint cleaning smell—likely from recent sanitization—but nothing overwhelming. The rooftop view is definitely worth it, especially P1 and P2 areas. It gets busy, but the panoramic sight of the airport and city skyline, especially during sunset, is spectacular. Perfect for a quick break or just soaking in the atmosphere. Overall, great value, excellent access, and a solid choice if you're flying in or out of Rio.
Novotel RJ Porto Atlantico
Located right near the dock, this hotel is a bit off the beaten path with limited dining options nearby, but it's still conveniently within the city center. Getting around by taxi is super easy—just a short ride to most attractions. What made our stay extra special was catching a Chinese senior tour group during our visit; the lobby was buzzing with energy and lively chatter, adding a unique cultural vibe. Despite the quiet surroundings, the hotel offers excellent service, modern amenities, and great value for money. If you're looking for convenience, comfort, and a touch of local charm, this place is definitely worth considering.
Arosa Rio Hotel
The Arosa Rio Hotel is an outstanding choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience in Rio de Janeiro. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendly and attentive service. The hotel is perfectly located just steps away from a variety of restaurants, shops, and local attractions—ideal for exploring the city without needing to travel far. Everything inside the property is well-organized, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It's clear that attention to detail goes into every aspect of the guest experience. With such a great location, excellent service, and a peaceful atmosphere, this hotel truly delivers exceptional value. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio—it’s definitely a top pick.
Windsor Leme Hotel
Staying at Windsor Leme Hotel right on the front of Copacabana Beach was an absolute highlight. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the sand and all the vibrant energy of Rio’s famous beachfront. Getting around the city is super easy, and despite being so close to the action, the hotel itself remains quiet and peaceful. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. One minor note: if you book a connecting room, you might notice some noise from the adjacent room, especially during quieter hours. For a more peaceful stay, consider opting for a non-adjacent room. Overall, this place offers great value, excellent access, and a lovely atmosphere—highly recommend for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing comfort.
Rio Othon Palace
Staying at Rio Othon Palace was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The hotel is stunning, with elegant architecture and a prime location right on the beach—just steps away from everything you could want. The breakfast was incredible, offering a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options that kept us energized all day. Dinner was a highlight, especially the shrimp dish—perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and served with delicious cocktails that really elevated the meal. The overall service was top-notch, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. Being just a short walk from attractions and nightlife made exploring Rio so convenient. I can’t recommend this place enough—this is exactly what a dream vacation should feel like, and I’m already planning my return trip.
Grand Mercure Rio de Janeiro Copacabana
The stay at this hotel was fantastic overall! The pool is a bit small, but it's clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing with umbrellas and lounge chairs. Unfortunately, we had rainy days with heavy fog during our visit, which made the views less scenic—but that didn’t ruin the experience. The location is unbeatable: just a short walk to Copacabana Beach, and everything you need is nearby—great restaurants, local shops, and vibrant nightlife. I don’t speak Portuguese, but the front desk staff were incredibly helpful and spoke clear English. Their friendliness and support made a big difference. This place offers great value for money, and I’d definitely come back again.
Arena Leme Hotel
Staying at Arena Leme Hotel was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just steps away from public transit and within easy reach of all the city’s highlights. My room was spacious and offered a stunning view of Copacabana Beach, making every morning and evening feel like a postcard. The comfort level was excellent, with thoughtful touches throughout the space. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. It's rare to find such a great balance between convenience, comfort, and charm. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rio!
Hotel Astoria Palace
Staying at Hotel Astoria Palace was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Copacabana Palace and surrounded by fantastic restaurants, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The hotel itself feels brand new with modern amenities throughout. The staff were incredibly professional, especially Pedro at reception—he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Everyone else was friendly and attentive, always ready to help. Breakfast was outstanding: fresh, varied, and delicious, with excellent coffee and local touches. The shower experience was fantastic—strong water pressure and great temperature control. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, offering panoramic views of Rio’s skyline and ocean, with comfortable seating and a well-maintained layout. One small suggestion: installing safety bars in every bathroom would greatly improve accessibility for elderly guests or those with mobility challenges. Right now, only one room has such features, but expanding this across all rooms would make the hotel even more inclusive. Overall, this place exceeds expectations—perfect for both leisure and business travelers. I’d definitely return.
Windsor Palace Copacabana
Staying at Windsor Palace Copacabana was an absolute delight. The hotel is just steps away from the beach, making it incredibly convenient to enjoy the sand and sea whenever you want. The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort. The bathroom shower delivered strong, hot water—perfect for relaxing after a day out. Staff were incredibly attentive; as soon as they saw luggage, someone would immediately rush over to help carry it. That level of service really made a difference. One small but thoughtful touch: the room included two 220V outlets, which was a lifesaver in Brazil where most power sockets are 110V—great for using hair dryers and electric kettles without hassle. Wi-Fi connectivity was a bit tricky to set up, but it’s a minor issue given how amazing the rooftop view is. From up there, you get panoramic views of the beach and sunset—absolutely stunning for photos or just unwinding with a drink. Overall, this place offers fantastic value and unforgettable vibes. Definitely planning to come back.
