South American Copacabana Hotel

The location of hotel was perfect, The room had a large space and a play area. It was relatively clean, had a comfortable bed, and was fairly quiet.

Room was recently renovated and spacious. They have maybe a couple tuneups they could do like making sure electric boxes are covered and they are still working on the elevators but things worked well. Nice granite surfaces everywhere. About 3 blocks to Coco beach and 6 to Ipanema but hotels on the beach can be just as far from the good part of the beach. No view of the beach but about half the cost or less of beach views. Nice rooftop with pool, and really decent gym and lounges. Would be great to have more TV channels but you can get YouTube and Netflix. Big breakfast. Good value for the price. We had stayed at Orla which was nice but almost twice as expensive and smaller rooms.

The price for this hotel was very reasonable, considering it's minutes away walking to either Copacabana Beach OR Ipanema Beach. We liked this area better than staying farther north on Copacabana beach - it seemed to have much more to offer as far as restaurants, padarias, etc. The staff was super friendly, and they even let us check in two hours early without an extra fee or making it a big deal. The lobby is huge and would be a nice place to sit in chat. We didn't try the breakfast because we ended up wanting to explore right away in the morning and try out a padaria.

Location and staff. Desk staff spoke English so could help us when needed.

The staff were extremely kind, helpful and accommodating. They helped us with an early check in so our baby could sleep and reserved our room for extra days on a very busy weekend when my Mother and I got food poisoning from a nearby restaurant. We're very grateful for the care they all showed us. We loved the location close to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The buffet breakfast is classic Brazilian and reliable each day.
