Business travel Hotels in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

I actually had 2 comfortable nights at this hotel but their website just kept on charging my credit card over and over. Thankfully, it showed up on my phone, so I was able to inform the staff and show them the receipt at the time. A very helpful front receptionist said he would contact the finance department and that when I checked out early the next morning' it would all have been rectified. When I went to reception, no one could help and I was told to wait for the manager who would be on duty after my flight left..... So far, no response from this hotel and no money back.I've contacted my credit card provider and so I now have to battle to get my money back. My experience of checking in was in I’m afraid to say, truly awful. I arrived at 5am and the older gentleman checking me in was ignorant. Apparently, he was the ‘English speaker’ on duty and he completely ignored me when I asked a question. I received no information whatsoever about breakfast times, where facilities in the hotel were and he didn’t even have the good manners to look up at me when I checked in, he just opened his hand for my passport. He started huffing and getting obviously irritated when I asked if it were possible to arrange a later breakfast as I wouldn’t be getting to bed u TIL 6am, despite having to pay for the hotel for the night before. The guy actually just ignored me until I asked him directly and he didn’t even look up and said ‘no’ in a really annoyed manner. Great customer service, thanks! Thankfully, when I had need to speak to reception staff during the day, this was a much better experience. I spoke to a young woman and on another occasion a young uni man who were friendly and helpful, so much so, I decided to stay again on my return trip the following week. That was up until they kept charging my credit card, firstly through the own hotels website that said the transaction failed but charged the credit card and then again when duplicate monies had been charged by the hotel. Mistakes happen. It it how quickly and satisfactorily they are sorted that makes the difference between staying there again and avoiding it. Would I recommend staying here? Yes, breakfast is good and the hotel was clean and quiet on the 19th floor. It is dated and could do with updating but it is not bad value when they don’t empty your bank account! Just pay in cash if you’re staying there and avoid that nasty old man on reception who works at night.

Excellent for an overnight stay. Basic rooms (no tissues,flannels or kettle) thin towels, but comfortable bed for a decent sleep. Lovely pool for a refreshing dip. Evening meal was good quality and decently priced. The drinks (wine etc) were pricey but service was good. Breakfast was a little hit n miss but fresh fruit, pastries, ham and cheese etc.

Massive impressive lobby, but all the seats and armchairs need reupholstering or cleaning, very grubby to sit in. The pool is very small, and the facilities there are quite poor by other hotel in the area. No separate changing rooms or locker room. No showers after gym activities. The bedroom is large, a bit dated in style. No tea or coffee maker, no kettle, no complimentary water, for me, unacceptable in a 5*hotel. The bed is massive but the sheets don’t fit. So we spent twelve nights constantly re making the bed. Very poor sleep as a result. For god sake, make the beds smaller, or the sheets and blankets bigger. Overall we enjoyed our stay, despite these shortcomings. Concierge staff were the most helpful and friendly. Check in staff, not so much. Very cold and aloof.

Great hotel with restaurants and shops nearby. The selaron steps, pyramid cathedral etc are 10-15mins walking distance from the hotel. Fantastic staff at the hotel who are super helpful and informative. The room was big and clean, with a street/city view, and the shower room was a little on the small side but functional. Breakfast at the hotel was decent with a range of options available. I’m a vegetarian and had enough to eat. The hotel provides free coffee and free fruit infused water downstairs in the lobby area, which is an added bonus. A taxi from the airport to the hotel, and back again, should only cost you 70 riais at most each way, which was around £12/$14/€15. Would defo recommend this hotel. Thank you again :-)

Good place to stay for shirt and long term. Good kitchen and very good service. Mr. Jose Carlos provides excessive assistance and room service. I have been already here for several times and strongly recommend for business events and stay.

Beach nearby. The staff was very friendly. Early check-in, staff helpful for tour difficulties.

The service attitude is very good 👍 It's hygienic and clean, and the environment is beautiful. You don't have to go out to enjoy the sun and the beach. The breakfast is very rich, and the inside and outside courts are very popular.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Have plenty of time to enjoy the awesome breakfast, if you are lucky to get a place outside the restaurant the view is a must. But be aware of the pigeons and the parrots, at your minor distraction they will grab your food !!!

Very relaxing stay at this hotel. The location right across from the beach was great. And what an amazing beach. Sunsets were incomparable. Much cleaner and far more chill than Copa or Ipanema. The service on the beach was excellent, staff were very attentive and quick.. The food in the lobby bar was also excellent with good options for a vegetarian. Another added bonus were the free bikes to go for a cycle along the coast.

I’ve Travel many times to Rio de Janeiro and recently traveled again during the World Cup ! Like always I stayed at the Olinda Hotel located right in front of Copacabana beach on Ave Atlantica. I returned to The Olinda because of its classic hotel decor and its Centrally located near post 3 where many of the best restaurants in Copacabana can be found in the area . Now the important factor the staff and front desk Managers are spectacular helpful and professional. My trips to Rio de Janeiro have always been easy and safe because of Marcelo, Marco and Fabricio being attentive and helpful at the Front desk . I must also make the point that the restaurant and housekeeping are at a 5 star Hotel level. So leaving the best for last the view of the beach is breathtaking and keeps me coming back . Thank you Olinda Staff for always showing me the best of Brazil. Luiz Garcia
