PortoBay Rio de Janeiro

Absolutely outstanding stay at this hotel! Its location is perfect—just steps away from all the vibrant energy of Rio. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and the amenities truly elevated the entire experience. A huge thank you to the entire team, especially Sascha—he made me feel genuinely welcome with his warm hospitality and attention to detail. Every moment felt special, and I can’t recommend this place enough. Would 100% return.

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.

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.

Tupiniquim Hostel Rio de Janeiro

The hostel is conveniently located near the metro, making it easy to get around Rio. However, the staff experience was extremely disappointing. We had to ask permission every time we wanted to store or retrieve items from the shared fridge—repeated requests made it incredibly inconvenient. In the morning, we needed our breakfast supplies right away, but were forced to wait two hours because the owner refused to let us access our things until the cleaner arrived, even though it was just one floor up. When I went to get my stuff, the owner became angry, yelled at me, and used a disrespectful term I won’t repeat. At that point, we left immediately. While the location is good and prices are reasonable, the lack of basic respect and poor communication completely ruined our stay. Not worth it.

Ipanema Beach House

Absolutely fantastic stay at Ipanema Beach House! The moment we arrived, Frank greeted us with such a warm vibe and exceptional hospitality. He went above and beyond by sharing personalized recommendations on local attractions and hidden gems around Rio. What stood out the most was being able to store our luggage before check-in—perfect for exploring the beachfront or grabbing a drink nearby without rushing. It made our arrival so much more relaxed and enjoyable. From start to finish, this was an outstanding experience. Highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Rio!

Staying at Copacabana Palace was an absolute delight—right in the heart of Rio's most iconic area, with the beach just steps away. The property is beautifully landscaped and even features a few small animals that the kids absolutely loved spotting throughout the gardens. It’s such a unique touch that made our family trip extra special. The rooms are elegant and spacious, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Perfect for families looking for luxury with a personal touch. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rio—this place truly lives up to its reputation.

JW Marriott Rio de Janeiro

The hotel is absolutely fantastic! While the rooms are a bit dated, they’re clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly comfortable. What really stood out was the daily complimentary treats—two chocolates and 2 to 4 bottles of water per day. Small touches, but they made a big difference. The real highlight? The stunning ocean view. I highly recommend booking a sea-view room—just step outside and cross the street to reach the beach. You’ll be greeted by endless blue skies, gentle waves, and that iconic Rio coastline right at your doorstep. It’s incredibly convenient for exploring the city too, with easy access to public transit. If you're looking for a relaxing yet central stay in Rio de Janeiro, this is definitely the place to be. A perfect blend of comfort, location, and value—10/10 without a doubt!

Vila Santa Teresa

As a local resident of the charming Santa Teresa neighborhood, I can truly say Vila Santa Teresa is a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Rio's bustling city life. From the moment I arrived, the entire team made me feel right at home—warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. A special thanks to Caio, the morning waiter, and manager Raphael, who went above and beyond with their kindness and professionalism. The ambiance is serene, the service exceptional, and the location is perfect for exploring the city. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a little haven. I’ll definitely be back.
