Hotels in Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro

The stay experience was great! The hotel is in a great location with convenient transportation. There are many restaurants and shops around, making it very convenient to travel. The room is clean and tidy, the bed is comfortable, and the bathroom is very clean and odorless. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the check-in and check-out procedures are very efficient. The breakfast is rich in variety and tastes good. The overall cost-effectiveness is very high, and I will choose to stay here next time!

I’d describe this hotel as utilitarian. No decor or warmth at all. The common areas are spacious and quite bare.Table and chairs at the restaurant are plain brown wood, The lobby is sparsely furnished with some worn , drab and very uncomfortable seats. Bathrooms are the same. Just the very bare essentials, not even a box of tissue paper ( and thin toilet paper) We travelled long hours,  arrived at 22:00 looking forward to a good shower …not to be. We were up for a bad start. There  was just a trickle of water not enough to bathe or properly brush teeth either. That could have been a whole area problem as we were told that water pressure can sometimes drop in some areas of the city. We changed rooms , water pressure  wasn’t much better the next day either, the water flow improved just a little and remained as such the whole week. We had paid for 5 nights and ended up staying as the city was packed that week . To go looking for another hotel during the G20 summit which Rio was hosting that week of November 2024 would not be an easy task.  On the positive side, staff was pleasant and accommodating, bed was comfortable and from our perspective, the breakfast buffet was the best feature of this hotel offering abundant variety of  food to meet all tastes- cereal, fruits and cheeses, cold cuts, several hot savory breakfast  dishes - incl. some Brazilian regional dishes as well, a huge selection of breads, cakes, good coffee, and more. Very satisfying. Including breakfast in the booking is highly recommended.  The good fare offered at the hotel at lunch and dinner not good at all. However, there are also three of four restaurants lined up on a small stretch within 5 min walking distance of the hotel- one of them is a very good authentic European Portuguese cuisine and wine. Aprox. US$ 52 for a meal for two. On the same cluster of shops there is a well established Brazilian cuisine restaurant with a good menu where one can eat well for anything  between US$ 12  to US$ 15 and a steak house similar to the Australian Outback steak house.  There are also other eateries snd convenience shops, a pharmacy on the same stretch ( 5 min walk ffrom the hotel) including a 24 hr laundromat where one can expect to wash and dry a load for about US$ 7.  As for location, this hotel is not close to the most well known districts of Rio - places like Copacabana, Ipanema , Leblon - but Barra da Tijuca is a special area in itself and arguably has the best beach in town. The hotel is just a 10 - 15 min taxi ride to Barra Shopping-  the largest and best shopping mall in the whole state of Rio de Janeiro where one can find anything,  including restaurants (recommend trying Jappa all you can eat Japanese food spread for US$ 26 as in Nov 2024). On the whole , when compared with the fashionable and pricey districts of Copacabana , Ipanema Leblon  this hotel is good value for money . I’d stay there again if they fixed the shower situation b’cause this feature matters for me.

Café da manhã perfeito e ainda tem acesso à praia e com cadeiras e sombrinha do hotel

Hotel location is OK. About 30 minutes from Copacabana with no traffic. Solid four-star hotel with no special luxury. Pool not tested. Breakfast is OK but above average at best.

O hotel é bem comercial de alta rotatividade. Porém, acho que por conta da alta rotatividade, os atendentes não se preocupam em dar suporte aos hóspedes. Tratam as pessoas com frieza e distanciamento. Os quartos são bem básicos e faltam o mínimo, como secador de cabelo e ducha higiênica (quarto 138). O frigobar é abastecido. Tentei fazer um Early check-in e me pareceu que não quiseram por pura má vontade mesmo. O café da manhã é básico, servem um suco aguado de caju e uva que é bem ruim. Só voltaria se o preço estiver muito atrativo, porque não existem atrativos pelo hotel.

Points for improvement: The hotel has an inadequate pool location, with the view blocked by a film. The pool was very dirty, with dirt and cloudy water. There was no control whatsoever. The air conditioning had a broken blade and was held in place by a bag of sugar. The bathroom was not very clean. The TV was not connected to the Wi-Fi. Positive points: The room was very quiet, the bed was comfortable, the service was very good, the location is good despite being far from the beach, and the breakfast, although it had many gluten-free options, had several savory dishes.

If this hotel is within your budget, it is a good choice. Obvious advantages: very close to the beach, the lobby is spacious with many resting places, clean and hygienic, there is a swimming pool and bar on the roof, and pool and beach towels are provided. The Barra area seems to be quite safe, and the beach bar is good and cheap. Slightly inadequate: The service attitude of the hotel front desk can only be said to be acceptable, not particularly enthusiastic. Breakfast is only Western, and there are not many hot dishes. The sea view room we booked is OK, but the price is not cheap. The hotel is 30+km away from the airport and the city center

The room is large, with a large balcony that overlooks the beach. The decoration is relatively old. Breakfast is a variety of breads and pastries, too sweet, and the grilled sausages are too salty. There is a private beach and swimming pool with a nice view. It is near a wealthy area with good security and many people outside at night.

The hotel is quite satisfactory, except that it is a little expensive, it is very good. The location is convenient and the service is in place! The hotel is quite satisfactory, except that it is a little expensive, it is very good. The location is convenient and the service is in place!

Location: good, at the end of the beach, with some interesting restaurants nearby, itaú bikes available on the shore; still interesting to have means of transport to go to other places around Cleanliness: good, standard cleanliness Service: great service, both reception and restaurant Facilities: great, with small weight room, spacious hall Overall great stay.
