The Windsor Palace had several good qualities. The breakfast was excellent. A high level room was reasonably quiet. The rooms were clean. The location was acceptable, in the center of Copacabana. The negatives: the lower level rooms are noisy. The front desk promised to change us to a higher floor, but they reneged that next day. Do not trust anything... More

Hotel is on good location, 5 minute easy walk to Copacabana beach. Nice small pool on the roof. Very clean hotel. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. More

Stayed for two nights in September. We had a superior room on the top floor and was more than happy with the quality, although the decor is a little bit dated, but the views are pretty good and even better from the roof terrace. The staff are not a particularly cheery bunch, but they are fairly efficient and speak good... More

The hotel is conveniently located one block back from the beach, shopping and public transport. It is also good value for money. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful and the view from the rooftop pool bar is magnificent. BUT. The rooms are in desperate need of a facelift. They look as though they last had a coat of... More

My boyfriend and I stayed one night at The Windsor Plaza in an Executive Superior Queen room before joining our tour group at a hotel down the street the next day. Our flight arrived after midnight to Rio which I had called ahead to let them know. The front desk was pleasant and efficient in checking us in that evening... More

Windsor Hotels have a chain in Rio, & this one is located in Copacabana, near the beach (just 1 block away), & also near the subway station (3 blocks away), so it was a very convenient location, & a less expensive alternative to the other hotels in the chain. But Rio is expensive, so this hotel was a bit overpriced,... More

Definately a good hotel to stay, i would recommend it highly, they are very caring (the reception and restaurant staff) and very attentive. we needed a doctor for my young daughter at the middle of the night, and within 20 minutes a good doctor arrived on call. Everyday after that, staff constantly asked how my daughter was and if there... More

Stayed at this hotel in mid-August. We stayed here for four days. Just a block away from Copacabana beach, a lot of restaurants, including the very delicious Caratao, and right behind the mainstreet where plenty of shops--big and small, are located! But the best part about our stay was the front desk reception--mostly Gabriela. She speaks English so she was... More

We booked this hotel on the belief that it had a rooftop swimming pool, but the entire sundeck was closed for renovation. As an apology the hotel offered to upgrade two of our four rooms, but it was hard to tell which were the superior rooms. The rooms are clean, but slightly old-fashioned looking, and have balcony doors that don't... More
