"This place needs shutdown or renovations. Over crowded rooms. Bathroom is horrible. Bathroom fittings are million years old. I burnt my skin because only hot water was coming from the shower and I was already wet to abandon my shower. But YES IT IS CONVENIENT FOR WHOSE WHO ARE THERE FOR A MATCH IN MARACANA. Unbelievably they charged me R$5 for a dirty smelly towel I requested. I’ve seen them giving out towels to the locals and didn’t charge them. Probably took tourist advantage. Even though...

"Breakfast was the highlight each day, great choices. Dorms were okay, but did smell like they were cleaned with dirty water some days. The atmosphere was a bit strange, this is not your usual hostel, it is also a family’s home. Their children would be screaming and shouting and watchingTV in the common area really very loud. Which means hostel guests could not relax there. The children seemed to do what they want. When you first arrive you don’t receive much information, like where is the...

O local em que está localizado é perigoso, o banheiro é imundo, cheio de baratas, a roupa de cama é imunda, o atendimento é horroroso, e não há custo benefício que compense uma estadia nesse lugar. "

"Poor experience given the price paid which was $30 per night for a dormitory. The breakfast buffet is minimal and dissolved quickly by people who literally thrust it into their bags without any oversight, and from thereon it isn't replenished correctly for all the other guests.The guy responsible for making the breakfast was super rude too. The entire place isn't effectively cleaned either which is sadly the reason why I have to give 1 star. Even with the few negatives expressed, I was itching...

"I rate this property as average because in all honesty, it's not shown as it really looks in real life, you'll be staying at the oldest building in the area, even though you're in the best area for beaches and restaurants, consider that you'll get what you're paying for. We had a misunderstanding with the check in so i recommend having your schedule well planned out. The kitchen didn't have enough tools for cooking and for a family of five, the pots and the frying pan were too small. Consider...

Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

5/5 Excellent
The hotel deserves 20 stars.
"If I could give Hotel Miramar 20 stars, I would. The location was perfect, across the Copacabana beach. A road separates most hotels and buildings, so it is as close as possible to the beach. A lifeguard station is right across the hotel with showers and faucets for feet washing. The hotel has a gentleman on the beach who sets your umbrella and a beach chair and keeps an eye on your belongings. On our way from the beach, the gentleman helped us with feet washing, and it was a strange feeling (before we visited Rio, we were in Buenos Aires, where, at the cathedral, we saw a video of the current pope washing feet). The gentleman was not involved as much as the pope; he was directing the water stream on our feet; nevertheless, it was a nice touch. The room was big, with an ocean view. The bed and mattress were extremely comfortable. I have a fancy mattress at home, and I usually find most hotel mattresses of lesser quality. Miramar mattress was better than my home mattress. The same I would say about pillows, bedding and bathrobes. Everything in the room was of outstanding quality and very comfortable. We did not pay for breakfast as we usually skip it, but I peeked once to get a coffee, and the breakfast looked phenomenal. All the staff were extremely courteous, polite, and helpful. I left a tip for the maid on a counter, but she did not take it. All in all, you will be happy staying at Miramar. PS The hotel has a gym, sauna, and an outdoor pool on the roof."
