South American Copacabana Hotel  

The hotel was within walking distance to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.

It was ranked 4-star, but it was more like a 2-star, and the price was horribly expensive for that quality.

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 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 The furniture and the décor were unimpressive and out-of-date.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 The poor lighting makes the already out-of-date décor look simply depressing.

The breakfast is good.

The furniture of the room is old. 70% of the attendants are always in a bad mood. The corridor smells of mildew. My wife is allergic to dust mites, then we find that the problem was in the small curtains. If you need anything, like a voltage transformer, ask first for the cleaning staff if they have, because the attendants will say that they don´t have, as it happened.

Very friendly and helpfull English speaking staff, excellent location close to both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, very good breakfast buffet. Excellent price/quality ratio, would book again without hesitation for short stays.

Room / hotel furnishings a little out-dated but comfortable enough, some airco problems and bathrooms a little too small.

This was our favourite hotel during a month in South America. Two blocks to Copacabana beach and three to Ipanema shopping. Beautiful spacious room and big bathroom with plenty of places to put things. Breakfast wide range and good quality. Did not have great deal to do with staff but when we did they were helpful and efficient. Great view of Rio from the roof. We would definitely stay there again.

i did not matter to us but the rooftop pool is nice but quite small, more a quick dip pool than a laze by it all day one.

The hotel was in a quiet area, convenient to the beach, The room was well equiped, comfortable and well cleaned. Free internet in lounge. Abundant and varied breakfast, hot , cold and fruit. All staff very helpful.

breakfast was good

it was hard to find a staff who could speak English.

Visted family

very disappointed with the Hotel for a 4 star poor accomodation until they moved my Partner and her two sons on the third night we sent an e-mail and complained but no discount offered or compensation, we live and learn.

Hotellin sijainti on hyvä. Sekä Ipaneman ranta, että Copacabanan ranta ovat lähellä. Aamiainen hyvä ja monipuolinen, runsaasti hedelmiä. Aulatilassa ilmainen internet käytettävissä. Huoneessa tallelokero.

Huonetilat eivät vastanneet hotellin tähtiluokitusta. Kadulta tuleva melu kuului hyvin kadunpuoleisiin huoneisiin. Toiseen suuntaan olevat huoneet olivat hiljaiset ja rauhalliset.

Café da Manhã muito bom.

Cobrou pela entrada de uma amiga no meu quarto.

Cafe da manha e localizaçao.

O hotel nao tem bom atendimento, o pessoal parece que nao foi treinado a receber bem. O ar condicionado do meu quarto estava com vazamento de agua, nao havia carrinho p carregar malas. Enfim o hotel nao corresponde ao numero de estrelas que propoe, fica na faixa de 2 estrelas e nao vale o que cobra.
