Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Nacional is a huge, modern and impressive looking hotel, but our stay did not get off to the best start. Check in took over 40 minutes after a long flight, and there always seemed to be queues at reception. The guy checking us took 20 minutes and seemed very slow. We'd booked two junior suites rooms and had asked to be on the same floor so our kids could be near us, but were put around 20 floors apart and were told the hotel was full, which was annoying. When you book two rooms how hard can it be to put you together? Our junior suites, however, were fantastic and definitely worth paying extra for. They were huge, with a large sitting room, massive bedroom, floor to ceiling windows and a luxurious bathroom. The hotel feels modern, clean and spacious. The pool was one of the best we saw in Brazil, with lots of seating and a lovely bar area. The beach outside is also beautiful and much quieter than Ipanema or Copacabana. Food was fairly average. The buffet had lots of choice but much of it was only lukewarm, and breakfast was similar. Vegetarian hot options were limited. We also found the staff throughout quite impersonal and not especially friendly. The location is peaceful but you are reliant on Uber as there is very little nearby apart from a supermarket and a rather empty shopping mall. Despite the service issues, we loved the room, pool and quieter setting and would definitely stay again."

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a very good stay at Rio Othon Palace. The location is fantastic, especially if you want to enjoy Copacabana and experience Rio de Janeiro. The hotel itself was good and comfortable, and the service overall was good, although I wouldn’t necessarily describe every aspect as excellent. However, there was one person who completely changed my impression of the staff and made me raise my staff rating to 5 stars, Genair Gomes from Security. Genair was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely helpful from the moment we spoke and gave me so many great tips and recommendations about Rio. What impressed me most was that her kindness never felt like simply part of her job. She genuinely cared about my experience. Whenever she saw me, she would check to make sure I was okay, ask if I was enjoying myself, and make sure I was having a great time in Rio. That kind of attention and genuine hospitality makes a huge difference when you are traveling. She made me feel welcomed, looked after, and safe, while still allowing me to enjoy the city and discover Rio. Employees like Genair are what guests remember after a trip is over. She is the reason I changed my staff rating to 5 stars. Rio Othon Palace is very fortunate to have someone who represents the hotel with so much care, warmth, and professionalism. Thank you, Genair, for helping make my time in Rio even more special. 🇧🇷❤️"
