Liked the hotel nice rooms lovely rooftop pool and bar. Breakfast had everything you could ask for and again the service was good with attentive staff. Free sunbeds on the Copacabana with lovely sands and sights. The only downside and it is not the hotel's fault is that in the evening the area is populated by prostitutes which makes you... More

Stayed for our honeymoon in January, booked this hotel because of the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, in fact we went through 3 tour operators specifically so we could book this hotel so had high hopes! Have never left anything but positive reviews for anywhere we've stayed or eaten so this is a first but feel we must be honest... More

I paid around £150/night for this hotel in high season, and although Brazil is generally quite expensive, on reflection feel that the value isn't quite there. The main positive for us was the great location, but what I was less happy with was the very closed in feel to all of the rooms and shared areas in the hotel due... More

I had high hopes for this hotel, based on the TA reviews to date. The experience didn't live up to them, but it was fine. I chose it over Hotel Arena because of the help on the beach - there isn't a separate area but Copacabana is a massive beach so there is space for everyone. What they do is... More

We stayed for 2 nights the first time and 1 more night a week later. Although the staff does not speak much english they did try very hard to help us. Our first room was at the side of the building with a partial view of Copacabana Beach and was nicely appointed with a large balcony. When we came back... More

Stayed with my wife in November - we loved our trip to Rio. Its location at the end of Copacabana beach makes it ideal to get around the city and to all the key sights (including, obviously, Copacabana beach right outside). There is also an excellent rooftop bar, with amazing views. That may be enough for some people (on the... More

Situated in the center of Copacabana beach, the hotel is relatively small but well laid out throughout. Highlights would be the roof pool and decking which gave fantastic views, and the corner sea facing rooms which were spacious and contempory in design. The staff are very friendly and mostly spoke good english. downside would be the slow and very small... More

We stayed 3 nights there in August 2011. All the things (like staff, room, decoration and restaurant) were okay but not impressive. We ocassionaly asked for recommendations on dining and sightseeing, and the staff were generally helpful. The room was not spacious but acceptable. The decoration was a bit dated. The breakfast was pretty nice. The elevators were small and... More
