South American Copacabana Hotel  

Goed werkend WiFi. (Kind)vriendelijk personeel. Goede locatie voor de bezienswaardigeheden in de stad.

Niet zeer comfortabele bedden. Inrichting is al wat oud en sleets en maakt een minder schone indruk, terwijl het schoonmaakpersoneel wel zeer zijn best doet.

Niks bijzonders maar zeker niet slecht. Voor een nacht hier geslapen en daarna door naar het Sheraton waar het een stuk frisser en beter is, en dat voor dezelfde prijs. Niks mis mee dus maar ga er niet dagen zitten.

Location was great

Hotel staff were pretty unhelpful. The breakfast was awful, ried out and sour milk! The 'suite' we booked was extremely basic. It was a suite in the fact that it had a living area and a bedroom but the likeness to a traditional suite ended there.

Very good location...Perfect for New Years when it is all happening in Copacabana Beach 3 blocks away. Good staff, nice people. Very secure. Good food in the hotel dinning room, great Brazilian breakfast. And the best hot strong coffee!

I liked the location and it seemed to be the cheapest hotel I could find in the area when I was booking.

Although it was the cheapest hotel in the area it was still far too expensive and although it purported to be a four star hotel it was more like a two or three star

We loved the location,the size of the room and the beds were comfortable . The breakfast and staff were great. However we did think the price was high as it is not a luxury hotel with many amenities, more like a small boutique hotel.

The pool was really small and the treadmill was broken with no plan to fix it. I was disappointed as I booked the hotel thinking there is a gym.

We found the location super convenient (2 min walk form Copacabana beach, 5 minute walk to Ipanema beach, subway station just around the corner, bus runs right in front of the hotel, etc) and we felt safe walking around the hotel even at 2 or 3am in the morning. The breakfast had great selection and is generous (though we would have preferred to be given the option to skip breakfast and receive a lower rate, as we stayed out very late in most evenings and would rather sleep in…). All the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful, and the front desk staff all spoke pretty good English.

The price for the quality was pretty outrageous, though I guess not too out of line in Rio de Janeiro. The rooms (we stayed in two different ones) were pretty depressing - dated, dark and gloomy, though spacious and clean. The furniture and the décor were unimpressive and out-of-date. Bathroom was clean but did not have proper racks to hang towels, and the shower room was poorly designed so we always ended up with a mini-flood after showering. Flushing of toilet took a bit of persistence but otherwise okay. The wifi in our room was week and finicky. Lighting seems to be a major issue in the hotel. The lights in the hallway were turned on by motion sensors, except they were always a few seconds delayed so it was always dark in the hallway. The poor lighting makes the already out-of-date décor look simply depressing.

Location

No Tea/Coffe making facilities in the rooms

Location is good but not directly at the beach. Good walking distance to ipanema and copa. Good city bus connections near the hotel. Nice small roof pool.

Heavy sewer smell from pumping station directly next to the hotel!!!

Very friendly staff.

Good location between Copocabana and Ipanema beaches. Good mid range hotel with all basic facilities. Swimming pool is small.

Free wi-fi is satisfactory for websurfing and email checking but not for business users. Bed is moderately comfortable, however pillos are bushleague razor-thin. Need about 8 of them to equal 2 real pillows.

The front desk guy was all business checking me in-didn't say enjoy my stay or anything, pretty rude.
