Royal Rio Palace Hotel

The hotel made generally a good impression on us during our 3 day stay. The room was good, spacious and tidy. The shower has hot water. The buffet breakfast is really good with the usual breakfast items and a good selection of pastries. The only thing that was bad for us, was the Internet. It was super slow connection, from late morning until the evening. We couldn’t watch Netflix and it’s even too slow to load Google. The aircon in our room was cold as it should be, but it kept switching on and off every few seconds without being on automatic setting. This disturbed us in the night, and it was too hot to switch it off entirely. If the maintenance of aircon can improve and the Internet will be better, it will be a perfect hotel.

Nice hotel not far from the beach also nearby restaurant and Landry self serve good breakfast

Awesome place: great rooms, delicious breakfast, nice spa. Well-equipped gym on the 18th floor, pool with a view!!!

A great location close to Copacabana beach and easy access to the metro. The breakfast buffet has a varied choice and the rooftop pool and bar also offers stunning views and a great atmosphere.

The room lacked basic amenities — no duvet or blanket, broken toilet, no hot water, and a phone that didn’t work. The WiFi and TV barely functioned, the ceiling was under construction, and the room had no view with a window that opened only a sliver. The door also locked itself and the key card stopped working. The hotel was overcrowded — there was no space to enjoy the pool, and breakfast was a letdown with no vegan options at all. Add to that loud construction noise for long periods and this stay felt more stressful than relaxing. Definitely not worth the price or the stars.
