Top hotels in Leme
Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro
Spacious, clean room with nice views. The pool, bar, and views from the rooftop were spectacular. The hotel is a bit dated but, at the same time, gives it charm. Staff accommodated a late 2pm check-out. The breakfast was excellent. An easy walk across the street to the beach.

Regency Park Hotel
Vou ser muito sincera. Paguei por uma estadia em Copacabana, mas fiquei no Leme. Se soubesse que era no Leme, teria ido para outro hotel. Melhor e mais barato. Quanto cheguei uma pessoa da recepção não foi muito receptiva. Sinceramente, nota 2 de 5. Muito decepcionada. Volto nunca mais.

La propiedad está bien estuve siete días aunque el jueves y viernes santo había muchísima gente y eso impedía conseguir reposeras pero en general el servicio los demás días muy bien
