The rooms were great... the feel of the hotel was fantastic, the staff were all amazing. Given the chance, we would definitely stay there again. We have a family of 5, and the way they set up the adjoining rooms was a perfect solution. The pool was a bit small and super cold, but we did visit during their winter... and the views from the pool deck were pretty fantastic.

Disliked: Staff & service

below average service in excellent location

The hotel is in the heart of the top tourist location but service, cleanliness, and condition are below average for a hotel at this price range. Three messages regarding need for early check-in were not answered. Did not agree to arrange airport pickup. A towel that had hair and scum was met with a cold apology when reported. No coffee maker in room. Would not stay there again. After several trips to Rio, I would not stay in Copacapana again because most hotels don't seem to care about customer satisfaction given the demand. I would stay in Ipanema which is a walking distance or can use a cheap taxi for a 10 minute ride.

The location is right on Copacabana beach and the view from the rooftop is wonderful. Front desk staff were courteous and helpful. Rooms, especially the bathrooms, could use some updating but beds and pillows were very comfortable. This is not a luxury hotel but is good value and an overall nice place to stay while in Rio.

Nice beach front hotel.

It is beach front luxury hotel. The only thing was the breakfast was 3 times more expensive than it was outside of the hotel. It was like 20$ per person.

Algumas funcionarios nos atenderam de forma espetacular, mas não é uma regra... alguns mal nos cumprimentavam. Em geral, as meninas da limpeza são bem cuidadosas, e, os mensageiros também. Já o pessoal que faz o serviço do bar, um ou outro chega a ser até grosseiro. Quanto as condições, esperava mais de um hotel deste porte. Estive em outros 5 hoteis deste padrão no beira-mar em Copacabana, e devo dizer que este estaria em 4º da minha lista.
