"Loved everything."

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel! This is my go to when in Rio, which is quite often. The staff is my favorite part, I now have great friends there! Lol the rooftop pool is spectacular, along with the beautiful restaurant. And the breakfast space is so incredible with the best views ever!!! Perfect location, beautiful views, and I love it! The addition of having their own specific area on the beach with a bar, towels, and free chairs and umbrellas is amazing! highly recommend!!"

Grand Hyatt Rio De Janeiro

8/10 Good

"The concierge staff led by Mr Danilo and Guest relations staff were excellent. The breakfast was ok. It had plenty of fruits and an omelette station. Other than that they also provided detoxifying green juice (only when asked). The pastries were kept in a separate area long with coffee and that whole place was very unhygienic. R era son being, people used their bare hands all the time to pick their pastries instead of the utensils and some of them after touching with their bare hands and their kids bare hands placed them back for others to consume. The Hyatt staff were not doing anything about it. I tried all the restaurants and the service was good. Food was good as well. One big complaint i have is that except for the concierge and some front desk folks noone spoke English and that was extremely hard"

Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro

Royal Rio Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staying in this hotel was a good decision. Very good location, helped us to arrive to all points of interest in Rio Janeiro very fast, most of the time walkable distance, or with very low taxi expenses. Personal very kind and ready to help. Complimentary breakfast very nice with good options, just little crowded so make sure to arrive in time. The restaurant area, because so crowded, missed little bit more cleaning. Rooms were comfortable and pretty clean, with some minor damages like the door of the bathroom not able to close, but in general in pretty good conditions. The hotel also has a parking lot next to it, very convenient for us that rented a car to go to Arraial do Cabo. I definitely recommend the hotel."

Prodigy Santos Dumont by Wish

10/10 Excellent

"First I've just want to give compliments to front desk Pedro and Felipe due to the extremely warmth way they both received us. We were staying just for one night and they both made sure we felt home. Hotel is well located and offer an of the chart breakfast. Pool is located on the roof with superb view. I will always recommend this hotel. Thank you for the awesome stay."

Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana

8/10 Good

"Good location and a staff that was, for the most part, friendly, professional, and attentive. Special thanks to Maria da Saúde and Rosângela from Housekeeping for taking such great care of our room, and to Renata at the Front Desk for her kindness, professionalism, and outstanding customer service. Unfortunately, our experience with Veronica, who appeared to be the Front Desk supervisor, was the complete opposite. From the moment we arrived, she barely acknowledged us, avoided even basic eye contact, and came across as dismissive and arrogant. Her attitude was not what we expected from a luxury hotel. We paid almost US$500 for an extra night simply to keep a room until the evening before our flight. Even then, after a nine-night stay, we were told we had to change rooms because ours was needed for another guest. It wasn’t the room change itself that was disappointing, but the complete lack of flexibility and consideration from management. Room 1234, especially the bathroom, is also in need of renovation and does not reflect the standards of a luxury hotel. While the staff made every effort to provide excellent service, the management’s handling of our stay fell well below the level of hospitality expected from the Fairmont brand."

The area is well-connected by major avenues, offering convenient access to other parts of the city. You'll find a range of local shops, supermarkets, and a selection of restaurants suiting daily needs, without the intense tourist focus of the South Zone.
