The hotel has been recently renovated and is all stylish and clean. The personnel speaks perfect English and is very helpful. The lever of service is excellent. The breakfast is extraordinary! The swimming pool on the 15th floor is rather small but the place itself is cosy with a beautiful view on the Copacabana beach. The hotel is located half way from Ipanema to Pão de Açúcar. The Lido place where you get a shuttle bus to go to the Christ is at about 10-15 minutes’-walking distance. My stay was just perfect!

Clean rooms- the 6 bed dorm was spacious and the airconditioning from 8pm -10am was great. The showers were hot and good pressure. One of the ladies at the desk was very helpful - the other lady not so but the location was great - so close to eating spots in Botafogo, the metro, Botafogo beach and shopping, sugar loaf and lots of old style houses. Metro to Copacabana was one stop away and 10 minutes on the metro to Ipanema. The hostel is tucked away in a secure street with another hostel next door.

Excellent location (near to both Copacabana (2min) and Ipanema beach (5min) - just a walking distance from both !!) Staff were very very helpful and polite, they were giving us advice and answering our queries. They did an amazing job and my husband and i are very grateful to them! Very clean and tidy - bed is confortable Excellent choice if you want to enjoy Rio for few days and especially enjoy the beach side - i loved it!

Right opposite the beach for unbeatable sea views. Beach is much quieter than Copacabana or Ipanema but just as stunning. Very modern hotel with good beds and facilities. They provide towels for pool and their little beach area which is a nice touch. It's a fair way from main Rio, but take advantage of the peace! Also a nice bakery and kilo restaurant less than 10 mins walk away, just turn right out of the hotel.

ONE OF THE BEST HOTELS IN #RIO. The #RioDesignHotel, has everything a guest needs: · Excellent location of #Copacabana, #Ipanema, #Leme and #Leblon · Comfortable, spacious and very clean rooms · Fair price · Excellent attention from Mr. Ricardo Miranda (GM) and all his collaborators · Safety box and minibar in the room · Complete and abundant breakfast Fully recommended

Breakfast and the food in the restaurant were both excellent, although food and drinks were a bit pricey but you get 30% off food and drink when booking through booking.com. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Rooms are comfortable and spacious and the hotel is right next to both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed at Gerthudes for 7 nights. This lovely place will exceed your expectations. Located in Santa Teresa a beautiful neighbourhood it’s an easy walk down to Centro, Lapa, Gloria and a train ride away from Copacabana and Impanema. The only downside is the uphill walk on the way back. Breakfast Staff. Location.

We loved it at the PortoBay! Big comfy bed, powerful walk-in shower, balcony, rooftop pool, sauna, steam room, room service. It was luxury and right on Copacabana Beach. Streets surrounding the hotel felt safe, close to lots of great restaurants and subway. Staff were always helpful and friendly.

We acutally booked another nights in this amazing hotel, as everything is roughly perfect. Directly at Copacabana is a really nice location and also close to Ipanema. Highlight is also the breakfast, as you get wonderful treatment.

Located at downtown of Rio de Janeiro, Lapa is pretty close the hotel and you can go walking ... the VLT (train) is also close and can give you liberty to go to beaches and other places easier by public transportation

Great position, in the middle between ipanema and copacabana. The room is big and clean. Breakfast with a good variety. Staff is kind and professional. They speak english. Great stay at copa su hotel

Very good location, less than 5 minutes walking to Copacabana beach. Staff very friendly and helpful. Modern, clean and well decorated hotel and rooms. Our hotel room had an amazing balcony.

Perfect location. We stayed in a high floor. I think the hotel has probably the best view along the coast of Copacabana because of the height of the building.

The hotel location was good its just walking distance to copacabana beach! Around the hotel there is a lot of restaurant and grocery. Its a good location.

Room was spacious with a fantastic view. Copacabana beach was right across from the hotel. There is a restaurant and pool on the 30th floor.

Location is in between Copacabana and ipanema beach . This is the only good thing of this hotel . Room size is ok . Near to metro .

The Staffs are very nice. Good location easy to walk to two famous beaches in Rio de Janeiro both Copacabana and Ipanema.

The room was clean The hotel is located right at the COPACABANA beach so location is perfect.

I have never left a hotel review in my life but I am leaving one for the Fasano. It was that excellent. The rooms and facilities are clean and beautiful (and the beds are incredibly comfortable,) the pool is spectacular, but the service is the hotel’s crown jewel. I was traveling alone, so the warmth with which the concierges and receptionists always greeted me meant so much and made me feel so welcome. The concierge made a dinner reservation for me one night and even told the restaurant it was the month of my birthday so they brought me a dessert with a candle to celebrate! At the rooftop pool, Alex and Donorio took such good care of me I never wanted to leave, even for the beach! They are all such wonderful people.

The staff was the best asset of the hotel. Although there might be some communication problems, since some people don't speak Portuguese. The rooms were really nice. We were in 2 different rooms and both are nice.
