"Super clean, friendly, and well-maintained hostel in the heart of Copacabana. The staff is very warm and easy-going, I became friends with everyone quickly :). I liked how they updated the activities board daily and invited me to events going on that day. I even joined the Caipirinha-making class run by one of the staff, it was so much fun! This is the cleanest hostel I have stayed at, from the bathrooms to the beds to the kitchen, which made my stay extra comfortable. I also really liked how...

Top Rio de Janeiro Hotel Reviews

Royal Rio Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Location of the property, everything walkable distance, so many facilities , restaurants, supermarkets, fresh juice corners and Copacabana beach very close by, very lively location and safe. Very helpful and friendly staff, breakfast was massive with so much variety, lovely food. Inside the rooms the tap was making very loud noise whenever we opened it in wash basin in the toilet to get water, that needs fixing otherwise all was very good. Very good hotel for the families and great value for money."

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was just outside the tourist section of the beach. Which honestly was nice; but we did have to Uber to a lot of places (attractions, restaurants, shows). I would recommended over and over again for the quality of the room, and the safety and security measures in place."

Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana. From the moment I arrived, the service was excellent. The doormen were always so helpful getting me in and out of the car, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was excellent, and the service there was consistently attentive and professional. I also have to give a special mention to the room service. It was spot on every single time — my orders were always accurate, delivered promptly, and the staff were so friendly, kind, and always arrived with a smile. That really stood out to me during my stay. The hotel and my room were very clean and beautifully maintained. I also had a gorgeous view of the beach, which made the stay feel even more special. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept very well as far as the comfort of the room itself. The only downside was the outside noise. There was quite a bit of street noise, as well as noise coming from the military facility across the street. I realize this really isn’t the hotel’s fault and is simply part of the location, but it is something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper. Overall, I had a very positive experience. The kindness and professionalism of the staff, the excellent service, the food, the cleanliness, the beautiful beach view, and the comfort of the room made my stay very enjoyable. I would absolutely stay at the Fairmont again."
