ATH Hotel - Américas Townhouse Hotels in Rio de Janeiro

ATH Hotel - Américas Townhouse

"The hotel is very commercial and has a high turnover. However, I think that due to the high turnover, the staff does not care about providing support to guests. They treat people coldly and distantly. The rooms are very basic and lack the bare minimum, such as a hairdryer and a bidet (room 138). The minibar is stocked. I tried to check in early and it seemed like they refused out of pure ill will. The breakfast is basic, they serve a watery cashew and grape juice that is very bad. I would only go back if the price is very attractive, because there are no attractions in the hotel."

Radisson Hotel Barra Rio de Janeiro Hotels in Rio de Janeiro

Radisson Hotel Barra Rio de Janeiro

"The service and attention of the staff are first-rate, always willing to address any needs. The facilities are a bit neglected for the hotel category offered. The location is very good and offers shuttle service to points of interest. Cleaning, while not bad, could be better. It was better to do it responsively rather than proactively, as it should always be proactive."

Hotel Astoria Palace Hotels in Rio de Janeiro

Hotel Astoria Palace

"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."

"I liked this hotel. Service is good, breakfast delicious and the rooms are quiet and spacious. There's a lot of party and noise at the hotel pool, though. So if you're looking for a quiet place, the pool is not for you."

"There was mold in the bathroom and on the air conditioning. The air conditioning also leaks. It makes quite a lot of noise. There is no swimming pool l, this was welcome on the site. Photos have now been removed. Service is mediocre. Upon arrival, the check-in is a chaos. That during carnival. There was only 1 receptionist. We asked for new towels. Didn't get them. So actually this was a very bad experience The carnival was fun"

Pestana Rio Atlantica ★★★★
"Catastrophic! We had to change rooms four times. From the moment we arrived that evening, the room was dirty, the sheets hadn't been changed… I complained, and they moved us to a smaller room with no sea view, as we had paid for. I complained again, and they moved us to another room the next day. In this room, there was a water leak from the ceiling when we woke up! I complained again, and they moved us to yet another room… In short, four rooms for six nights. I asked to speak to the manager, but I never saw him! No compensation, no empathy, they don't care about their customers."
