We need a late check out and they said they had no room to do so. Said the only room available was a business class made us to pay a lot just to stay couple hours more and after I paid they said I could stay in the same room. No offense but I thought they were thinking just about getting more and more money. Next time I will book an overnight even though I won stay because that ended up so expensive for us. Plus we won’t stay at that hotel next time.

Response from Cristian Osses on Mar 2, 2024
Dear Mrs. Thayana, The hotel is based on availability to be able to sell it's rooms and on the day in question, the hotel was at high occupancy. therefor, we cannot sell a half night as this would mean keeping the room vacant. in any case, we always offer the possibility of storing your luggage, as well as the possibility or using the hotel's common areas, including the pool area so you can wait and later use the shower in our sauna.It was a pleassure to have you here!Sincerely,

I liked the quiet pool. Some of the charges were strange for some items like plates and forks. Why charge for these items. There wasn't a coffee machine in the room or ice free of charge. I did not like these things. Some staff was very nice and other were too mean and stiff. I do not understand why be so stern. The customers are on vacation and would like friendly staff at the front desk.

Great location in Copa. Rooftop has one of the best Caipirinah I had in Rio. The pool is only waist deep, but serves a purpose to cool off. The hotel is very strict with visitors, so my friends staying nearby were not allowed up without paying a fee. They are very strict with this, as it seems most hotels are in Brazil. Overall good spot and the staff is very friendly.

Stayed a week for birthday. Every day at 9 pm, we received a call from the front desk saying to quiet down but we were not even being loud. Breakfast was the same every day, elevators are very old, beds are hard but the pillows are soft. The TV was only dubbed in Portuguese with no options to change it. No ice machine or microwave for guest use. The area around the hotel is not the best, especially at night because they follow you and keep asking for money. The beach is very close, but there is not much nightlife. We walked about 15 mins to get to the club. Attractions are more within driving distance, but at least the subway is a 7 min walk. The good parts were the staff, cleanliness and the balcony. You can see Cristo Redentor from the pool deck and there is great room service. For the price and the 4 star rating, I thought it was going to be more elite. There are several more hotels I would consider when returning to Rio.
Response from Cristian Osses on Sep 13, 2023
Dear Ms. Patricia,Thank you for your comments, as it is through them that we can always improve our services.We only make contact regarding noise in the rooms when another guest asks us to do so. this is not common as most of the time it is resolved immediately.Our breakfast is very pleniful and varied, with more than 6 types of breads, several types of cakes, all fresh and a wide variety of fresh fruits, in addition to the other items that make up our buffet.We have more than 30 high definition channels, in different languages, many of them in inglish, however, the channels in portugues do not have translation. Our hotel has 24-hour restaurant service and our menu has option of ice bucket, whiich can be served at any time.We understand that because Copacabana is located within a large metropolis, there will always be vulnerable people living on the streets, it is a regrettable fact, which we hope will change soon.In fact our hotel has a beautiful view from the roof top, not only Christ the Redeemer but also the sugarloaf mountain, which is very close to here and easy to visit.Thank you for your stay with us!Sincerely,

This hotel is at excellent location. 1 block (2 min walk) from the beach. There are plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries, and a laundromat within a block. Every staff we have interacted with were very friendly, especially doorman Jose and receptionist Uany who were very helpful. Hotel provides beach umbrella and beach towels, very convenient as we visited the beach often. Only downside is that the internet is slow in the evenings when everyone is online.

The property is in great location close to shopping, the beach and restaurants. it is clean and staff are great. i just find it unreasonable that they do not allow friends/family members to go up to your room if they are not registered or you must pay extra. Breakfast options are awesome ( just don't pick the slice bread with ham & cheese ) Sauna, pool & gym are in great view which i like.

Do not stay in Windsor palace it’s dirty
First they didn’t let me check in immediately I had to wait for the front desk to finish their conversation with each other. Then they arbitrarily told me I can’t have guest in my room. They assigned me to a room that I’m sure they know was subpar. When I checked in there were roaches crawling out of the air conditioner vent. When I went to the front desk to ask for a room change they told me that all the other rooms were waiting for a new check I͏n͏s͏. I asked why I can’t have one of the new checking rooms since I was a new check in and they had no answer for me. Not sure if I was racially profiled, but I did not see The same thing happening to other guests.

Dear Mr. Gerard. good afternoon! thank you for your comment on this site. we are certain that it is through these comments that we will always be improving our services. We inform you that monthly we do fumigation in our common areas, as well as in all apartments, having all certificates always up to date. according to what was reported by our receptionists, on Your arrival, you said that only one person will stay at the room, but when you went up, you went with a friend and so, his friend was asked to register so that he could check in to the rented room, which was a standard room until the sixth floor and that as soon as you requested a room change, it was promptly attended to by our receptionist, with only the comment that it could be a room with two single beds on a higher floor, since there were no more double bed. We apologize for what happened and we hope to be able to serve you again so that we can correct the bad impression. Sincerely,
