"We liked the property. It was close to the ocean and hearing the ocean rise and fall was wonderful for sleeping and meditation.
I did not like being placed on the 20th floor of the hotel. I'm aversive to heights. The room was fine and we had a partial view of the ocean. But we also had a good view of the favela bored into the mountainside behind the hotel. The favelas are unfortunate living areas of the poor and dispossessed, and this bothered me somewhat.
The food was great. The restaurants...
"Great location, service was good, meals about what you expect however quite walking distance and bus stops right in front to go further down beach. Lots of little shops in general area for picking up food, water etc as well as only a couple blocks from main avenue with lots of shops. Price is right pool area on rooftop offered great views"
"The hotel was very clean and well-maintained. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and speak very good English and Spanish. Great location right across the street from Copacabana Beach and very short walk also to Ipanema Beach. There is a Bike Itaú dock right next to the hotel, easy access for those who want to rent bikes that way. Good continental breakfast. Pool area is small but why would you really use it when the beach is right there anyway."
"En general el hotel esta bien. Las toallas viejas y la limpieza del baño/ducha no se realiza debidamente, las camas/cuarto muy bien. Desayuno el mismo de siempre todos los dias. Ubicacion excelente y el servicio excelente.
Los 2 unicos detalles son las toallas que son fatales, viejas y en mal estado y la limpieza del baño: tiene hongo de mal lavado por muchos lugares.

"I enjoyed my stay, the service was great "
A verified traveller stayed at Windsor Excelsior Copacabana
"Excellent place to stay in Rio. Super clean, good breakfast, convenient location right in front of the beach, many restaurants in the area. My only complaint is the poor lighting in the room and bathroom, which made it near impossible to apply the little makeup I usually put on. "
A verified traveller from Miramar stayed at Windsor Leme Hotel
"The hotel was nice but the staff wasn’t responsive. The pull out need didn’t have any sheets and there were none to be found in the room. I tried calling housekeeping and front desk several times but nobody answered. Finally I went down and asked in person and the assured me they’d sent someone up. Waited for over 30 minutes and nobody ever showed. Finally we were so tired from our days adventures we just stole a sheet from the other bed."

The food was great. The restaurants took care of us nicely and the concierge was wonderful in answering all of our questions. "
