Lock in a great price for Merlin Copacabana Hotel – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Staff was great! Very helpful by storing our suitcases for 2 days while we visited Iguazu falls.

Lloyd, United States of America

Very clean hotel,fantastic location, spacious room and great roof top pool. Tours arranged by hotel around Rio.

Anonymous, Ireland

Very nice and friendly staff!! very clean and comfortable rooms! Nice breakfast, good bed and walking distance to Copacabana beach and metro.

Kristina, France

the shower was great and the rooftop terrace with the pool was lovely!

Reece, United Kingdom

Lovely helpful attitude of the staff, great breakfast, room small but at the quiet side of the building with great view of the green hill behind

Cornelis, Netherlands

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Amazing breakfast! Just a few steps from Copacabana beach.

Maite, Spain

- good breakfast for Latin America - excellent location, 5 Minute walk to the beach and very close to supermarkets and restaurants - personal mostly friendly and helpful

Jan, Germany

Our luggage was late and the reception staff were very helpful in retrieving it. All the staff were friendly. The room had 2 bid double beds and a table and chairs, ample for a short holiday. Breakfast was buffet style and good. View from room was fine - could see the beach (although we were about 5 minutes walk away) and look out on Rio life. Shopping centre (handy for buying clothes when luggage is late!) was just through the tunnel.

James, United Kingdom

We arrived early on our check in day and front desk staff were super obliging getting us straight into our room. We stayed 6 nights and our flight wasn't leaving until 6.05pm - again reception was so nice allowing us a late checkout .Most impressive!! Only a 5 minute walk to the beach ( with supermarket close by) and the rooftop area tables and pool was lovely

Colleen, Australia

Friendly staff that let us check in early. We arrived at 7am after a long flight and were allowed into our room immediately. Also, as I was unwell on the final day of the trip, they allowed us a later checkout (3pm). Fantastic service!

Hotel was a bit expensive during carnaval. Poor English at reception. For a big hotel in a city with many tourists, I expect that staff at the reception at least understand basic English, which was not the case.
