Beach Hotels in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Hi, all. It was a very strange hotel without any free water, or tee, or coffee in the room. All breakfasts were the same, without any difference for 10 days. Coffee machines didn't work. Special problem was to enter the room, because the e-key didn't work often. I had to ask manager to fix the e-key to open the door many times. Nespresso capsules which i found in the room costed 8 reals for one. And i knew about it only at the chekout. In the room there were no price list for coffee, but the price list for mini bar was there.

Location: 10/10 Breakfast: 10/10 Room Size: Big Size Room Status: Very Old Style Room & Furniture Room Service: Don't Change the Bed Sheet / Towel Room Cleaningness: Dirty Bedding and Towel: Unhygienic (Dirty) Refrigerator: Noisy Air Condition: Good Television: Good Safety: Old Style Locker Bathroom: Old Style and Hot Water System is Faulty Shower: Funny (Awkward) Amenities Provided: Soap Only

Hotel was nice and clean and the room was cleaned daily with fresh towels We had a corner room in tower 2 large room with comfort super king bed on 10th floor Water pressure to shower was poor receptionist did offer a different room and pressure was better but bathroom felt a bit dated Windows we’re not sound proof this was a little in convenient as there was a major construction site opposite and the hotel is on a main road to the beach Breakfast had plenty of choice There was free Wi-Fi in the room this was a major let down very poor signal

The hotel was wonderful, the employee treated us badly at first because there were problems with the reservation, I rented for just one person instead of two, then everything went well, the smell of the hotel was wonderful, the pool, the view, the room, everything was very good, the cleanliness included excellent we left and when we came back our room was extremely clean and tidy

The location is top-notch—right on Copacabana—with the highest pool on the 30th floor; unfortunately, the pool is very small, sometimes there are no towels; there are no changing rooms—showering and changing in the sauna is possible 😉 Recommended upgrade to super luxury, which includes breakfast in the restaurant on the 30th floor with a view of Copacabana—great. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi is a pain 🥹 constantly having to reconnect—much cheaper hotels can do better 🙄

At the arrival I needed to wait and change the room a couple of times because in one block (A) all the rooms are facing to the small courtyard and there are air conditioning machines that makes a terrible noise for the entire day. 

Great location, close to the beach and local shops. Highly recommend if on a budget and want to be close to copacabana. Only real negative is there online booking which doesn’t really accommodate non Brazilian guests. Tried to do before arriving, received about 10 emails to do this! And even then it would not accept without certain information that only Brazilian nationals have. And when we got to the hotel, they asked us to do the online check in too, which took 45 mins or so for them to realise there is a fault with it. And then checked us in within 2 mins.

The hotel has a nice location on the beach, but the property could do with some updates. The first room I went into had a funny smell, so I reported it to reception. The male receptionist looked at me, and as if he doubted my word After I insisted, he assigned me a new room, but it was left to me to move my luggage. . No support was offered and I couldn’t be bothered to ask. I did ask if there would be any complimentary water put in the room. He said he would get housekeeping to put some water, but I’m still waiting two days later.  Power outlets in the room are limited and not designed for modern travel. No USB points. The TV is old and not smart or Internet connected. There are no cable channels so nearly all of the channels are local language apart from one CNN news channel in English.. The hotel is quite noisy and dogs. The walls are thin and guests scrape furniture across the marble floors. This is relatively easy to remedy if the hotel cared. The rooftop pool was disappointing as it’s quite small and normally full of kids. The restaurant is closed after breakfast. There is a bar, but it’s never open.. The biggest problem I had was the Internet. It did not work properly in my room and kept cutting out every few minutes. I had to stand in the corridor or come down to the lobby in order to get any decent coverage. I complained to the staff, but they did nothing and just told me it works.. This was extremely frustrating and I certainly wouldn’t come back to this hotel again.

Loved my stay at Che Lagarto Ipanema! Amazing location, chill atmosphere, and awesome people. Beds were comfy and the staff were super helpful. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful rooms and especially the bathrooms. Beds were especially nice - Firm with wonderful bedding. Very quiet. Felt like an oasis from the noise of Copa Cobana Beach. Delicious breakfast included in the room. You could order a custom- made omelet. The concierge hooked us up with a really great day tour as we were only in town for 2 days. Reasonably priced and saw a lot of things - Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mt, the stadium, Selaro Steps, where the Carnivale starts, and included a buffet lunch. Would stay again for sure!
