Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"The service was amazing and the staff were so nice and helpful. The beach amenities were fantastic and the roof top pool is amazing."

Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great from arrival to departure. It is in a great location. It felt very safe to go out walking in the day. There was a Western Union around the corner for currency exchange if you needed it. There were some places to eat just doors away and taxis to places like the Copacabana Palace end of town and Roxy Dinner show were easy to get and cheap. We were in a Fairmont Gold club room and the lounge was lovely with views over Copacabana beach towards Sugar Loaf, and great for breakfast. I had fresh made omelette every day. The white wine in the lounge was not great, but the red was fine. The spa was lovely and compared to some hotel spas not horrifically priced. Housekeeping were excellent and brought extra water and clean towels in the evening and the corridors were quiet at night. We had no internal noise although the sliding patio doors let some external noise in but not enough to keep you awake. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean. The lounge staff could not have been more helpful and arranged a car to take us to the Roxy and back. It was not very much more than an Uber but we had a dedicated person waiting for us as soon as the show finished. All in all a great hotel experience and would recommend this hotel."

Windsor Oceanico

10/10 Excellent

"Wow spectacular I really liked the hotel and my family also, the atmosphere really good, very quiet, the restaurant was perfect, the attention very kind all the staff, no problems in the hotel, I only have one suggestion for the hotel, coffee and tea should be free inside of the property, because when I finished to eat inside of the restaurant, my mom wanted a cup of tea, so they have the hot water, but the small bag of tea had a price, that was in the bar, after the dinner wow it was surprised for me, so at the end, it’s something that you should to improve, but In general, Everything was amazing, thanks…"

JANEIRO Hotel

MARAVILLOSO. Gracias, sin duda pronto volveremos."
