“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and although I complained about having to pay for wi-fi (which didn't work anyway !), some people's complaints seem unfair. Yes there was traffic noise but then there is in most city hotels. My check in and check out were reasonably quick and the staff friendly and efficient. The concierge was especially... More

“Rio hotels are expensive, not a good service and they look tired”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013

The hotel is centrally located at Copacabana and had the fortune to receive an upgrade to a superior room however, it is not a 4 star, it looks dirty, damaged, tired... smelly... I have to say the food at the restaurant located at the top floor is very good, expensive but very good.

“Great location in Copacabana”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2013

This hotel was our first stop on our Best of South America Tour with Trafalgar. A five star hotel, right on the Copacabana Beach. We got a "room with a view" on the 18th floor, of the beautiful Copacabana beach, and the hills. The hotel is very nice, good service from the Bell Boy. Breakfast was included and we couldn't...

Rio Othon Palace Hotel is one that I could definetely recommend. We arrived early and asked for an early c/in.

“Great location and view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

The best thing about the hotel is the location. Located right on Copacabana beach, the rooms offer great views of the sea. The best view is on the rooftop- 30th floor- where the restaurant and pool are located. The restaurant was very good. My two friends and I loved our food and the service was excellent. The breakfast buffet was... More

“Nice hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2013

The hotel's location is excellent. Their breakfast is really good. However, The fact that wifi is paid is not so great. Rooms are basic, but this is Rio and there are so many places to visit that the time spent in the hotel is not so much.

“Great location, best on Copacabana”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2013

By far the tallest hotel in Copacabana. Great location, right across the beach. Easy access to night markets. Rooftop pool is good to relax in, if you don't feel like heading to the beach. An easy walk to Fort Copacabana. Great buffet breakfast including wide variety of fruit, pastries, hot foods that change almost daily. Wifi in the lobby is... More

I stayed here for the second time and found it to be the same as before - not the first place you want to go for fully updated rooms, but the place to be if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg and be close to a relatively nice section of Copacabana beach. The hotel has great... More
