It's OK.. but no more. 5 minutes walk from the metro, which takes you quickly to much of what you may want to see in Rio, and being in Rio is more important than the hotel? The room was clean and quiet, I'm not sure a yellowish colour scheme stops a hotel from looking tired. Given the number of guests,... More

Don't know where to start really. Only a few rooms have a bath and you won't be offered one of those unless you happen to be smoker and then you can have one on the top floor. My wife cannot shower and thus we were forced to pay extra for a room with a bath (about £20 per night extra).... More

Dear Guest, I'm truly disappointed that we were not able to satisfy all your needs. You are right when you say that we don't have bathtubs in all the rooms although it's not a problem as we do have 4 rooms per floor with that feature and it is more than enough considering the requests we have for that. Yes,... More

We stayed here for 6 nights over new year. Top spot close to the main beach and shops and everything Rio. However, the rooms were very tired. They still have double beds! The room we had was tiny and cramped for two people for 6 nights. Disappointing. We were given a smoking room at first but as non-smokers they moved... More

I stayed here in October on business. I booked 9 rooms for two nights at a competitive rate. The rooms were decent and had a lovely view of the beach but my stay was spoiled as they refused to allow my Brazilian friend who I hadn't seen in two years to come up to my room to see me. She... More

The Windsor Plaza Copacabana is a reasonably priced hotel in an expensive part of Rio. The common areas (lobby, rooftop pool, etc) are nicer than the rooms. Our room felt like a Days Inn or Quality Inn in the United States, but with a nicer bathroom. Breakfast is included and the buffet is massive. The staff is friendly and most... More

Dear Guest, I would like to thank you for your kind comments about our facilities and services. We do have the special cabs with fixed fees. We do so because a lot of people don't feel safe with the yellow cabs. You're right, the prices are higher but the guests have the advantage of knowing the prices in advance and... More

Considering that Rio and especially Copacabana is a very expensive place to stay, this hotel represents pretty good value for money. Rooms were small but clean and comfortable, breakfast was good with a fair selection to suit most people. Breakfast room doubled as a restaurant in the evening, but I never saw anyone eating in there in the evening. Access... More

We spent two (2) non-consecutive nights at this Hotel. Walking distance to beach. Check-in staff were pleasant and efficient. The first night was spent in room 903 - main street view, clean and relatively quiet, good complimentary buffet breakfast. The second night was on a lower floor, back street view - very noisy, but clean room. Buffet Dinner was okay,... More

This is a hotel with total lack of character. You may choose it, like me, because of its location if you need to stay in the Copacabana area. However, I am sure you will find better options around, although Rio's hotel infrastructure is really poor. This is a cheap holiday hotel. The room I got was on the second floor,... More

The hotel is in a good location and while not on the Avenue Atlantico is only a short walk to Copacabana beach. Rio de Janeiro is an expensive location and the Plaza probably represents fair value for money in the area. The room was comfortable and cool although the weather was not making this difficult!. Breakfasts are excellent with plenty... More
