Top Rio de Janeiro Hotel Reviews

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

8/10 Good
"Hotel em si é muito bom. Localização perfeita e muito conveniente. A questão dos elevadores é bem irritante um pouco, pq se você estiver com pressa, complicou! Pode demorar bons minutos pra você conseguir pegar um elevador do lado certo que te leve pra onde vc quer… ah, acrescenta uns minutinhos pra paciência de estar descer/subir praticamente em todos os andares. Fiquei num quarto luxuoso (pelo menos de nome - e valor). A vista é maravilhosa. Mas só isso q valeu a pena. A cozinha era péssima, não tinha se quer um talher, tinha que ficar ligando e pedindo, precisei esquentar algo, e não tinha microondas, só um forno elétrico que não funcionava. O banheiro ok, pequeno, mas ok! No mais, se trata de um hotel muito bonito, porém o quarto poderia ser reformado sim, pelo preço que cobram, num final de semana de inverno, imagina no réveillon… Pra cobrar tanto assim, tem que no mínimo ter condições de oferecer algo no mesmo nível. Resumo, não foi o melhor que eu já fiquei, tampouco o pior. Voltaria? Sim! Mas estudaria algumas outras opções primeiro."
