Lock in a great price for Rio Design Hotel – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

The attendance were super proactive. I arrived about 2am, thirteen hours before my checkin. The attendant gave me a room until my room be ready to use, so I slept until the next day and at 9am they called me offering my room. But note my checking would be only in 6 hours and I was being treated like I had a reservation. My car was in the parking lot and I didn’t have to pay for 3 nights only for 2 even I had used it. They didn’t charge me anything for the extra night in the room too. After that they allowed me to do the late checkout and again they didn’t charge me. All the employees were super cool and receptive. Definitely the best hotel service I ever had in Rio de Janeiro.

“Second time here - still the best !”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 14 nights
Sometimes the elevator takes too long after you call it (descending from the room floors) Gym only has few weights and 2-3 stepping machines
My second time here and the hotel is still 10/10 Staff is really friendly and very very helpfull ! Receptionists are doing amazing job, with any kinds of information ... GREAT TEAM OF EMPLOYEES ! Breakfast has a nice variety to choose from and very delicious. Free WiFi working wherever in the hotel area (also across the street ! ). Noise can be a problem, specialy in some "normal rooms", but hey: this is Brazil, and noisy streets are normal during the nights. But it's not too much to care about. Location is 30 meters from Copacabana and good 5-8 mins of walking from Ipanema. Metro station is 5 minutes of walking away. The main bars / restaurants / groceries / other stores you can imagine is just on the corner of the hotel ... even at night, this is pretty much the safe area ! Rooms are spacious and clean. Air-condition is working perfectly.

There is nothing that wasn't perfect.
We absolutely loved this hotel. The location could not have been better because we were virtually right on Copacabana Beach and just ten minutes from Ipanema. It was clean, helpful and friendly. The brekkie was a lovely buffet: try the pao de queijo (cheese bread) that is there every morning and you won't regret it. My other half was delighted to find scrambled eggs and fresh fruit, daily. Me too, but the cakes were an added bonus. Staff were extremely nice.....and the room was just right (junior suite for us).

I would however recommend they remove the poster behind reception referring to no s** with guests though... little off putting.
The photos look a lot better than in reality, though it looks like they are renovating from the top down so you may be lucky. The view from the rooftop is mainly of a fevala and rooftops. Its not an awful place as the staff were great and it was clean, I'd just say average.

Quite dated which meant it didn’t appear that clean. Staff were okay. However on the last day we had to check out really early, asked the front desk about some fruit to takeaway for breakfast, they said they would organise. When we went to check out the person on the front desk said that it was too early for breakfast. Good location but that’s probably about it
