Hotels near Igreja Universal - FORTALEZA in Rio de Janeiro

The hotel is in a very good location , 15 min walking from the beach. Nearby the bridge, so we didn’t need to use the ferry boat to cross the river or walk long distances. Barra da Tijuca is perfect , the best beach ! Later we went to Copacabana but we regret don’t staying longer in Barra da Tijuca as we liked it more than Copacabana, the beach is cleaner, less people, more quiet .

Ive stayed in the basic room but I didn't expect it to be so small. The bed was big, but the room smelled of cigarettes. The Cable TV didn't work, always said the signal was bad. The bathroom is small and I found used bath soap laying around. I complained and they promised to clean the room, only to find out that the cleaning service is working once a week during the pandemic. The breakfast was really basic (which I understand as we are in a coronavirus pandemic and things are simpler) but the coffee was just ok (drinkable). The service knocked on my door twice one night trying to deliver somebody else's meal. Overall if I had personally payed for the room I wouldn't stay. However, I didn't have an option because it was a critical business trip and it was the nearest hotel next to the client.

I’d give 4.5 stars if I was allowed but not quite 5. The pandemic caused a few issues (bar been closed early and no 24 hour room service) and I had a few very minor issues-One day my water wasn’t replaced and on another I ordered room service and one of the items didn’t arrive. This happened another day but the guy realised and went back. The room was a double delux and was amazing with a great view and duel aspect. Roof top pool is great and although I didn’t use the gym there is a small one if needed. The staff were all helpful and polite and the food was good as well as the breakfast. Always felt safe and secure and the cleaners always did a great job.

Excellent option in the Tijuca bar .. price a little higher and even well above but due carnaval period.. great breakfast but at 10:30 a.m. the restaurant staff are already passing a “furacan” withdrawing everything and no water leaves.. The sauna wasn't working.. it looks like q had broken and did not fix on the same day .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　2020年３月に5泊しました。空港からホテルまでタクシー・車以外の交通手段はありません。空港のarrivalで雲助タクシーに引っかかって、BRL280を払って乗ってしまいました（通常のタクシー料金はBRL100~120）。しかも交通事情が悪く、1時間半はかかります。特に夕方の時間帯は渋滞がひどく、夜７時発フライトの荷物チェックインの締め切り時間を過ぎてしまって、改めて当日片道航空券を買い直す羽目に。GIG-TYO間でUSD5800もかかってしまい散財しました。皆さま、余裕を持って行動されることをお薦めします。 　ホテルはビーチ沿いにあり、屋上にジムとプールがあります。屋上からの眺めと同様、窓からも景色が良くて堪能しました（朝日の写真参照）。部屋は広くありませんが十分でした。清掃も行き届いておりましたが、safety boxの不具合で、毎日、担当係の人を呼ぶ羽目になりました。気さくに来てくれて、友達になりました。シャワーの出具合も天井からの場合は良かったですが、ハンドタイプからの出具合は悪かったです。夜間は道沿いですが静かで、ベッドの寝心地も良かったです。TV は地元ローカル局と、BBC, CNN, スペインなどがメインで日本語放送はありません。朝食は写真の通り豊富でした。自分で作るジューサーもありますので、お好みの味で飲めます（写真参照）。ホテル前がビーチになっています。また徒歩圏内にスーパーもありますので、飲み物やテイクアウト食料が買えて便利です。またTaxiで10分位乗ると、Olegario Maciel Av.沿いにブティック、レストラン、銀行などが立ち並び、夜は楽しめました。ホテルのスタッフは皆さん親切で、ツアーの予約やホテル周辺の案内など、また雑談にも気軽に応じてくれていい人たちばかりでした。Rioは見どころが多く、魅力たっぷりです（写真参照）。次回は散財しないように注意して、再訪したいと思います。 　I visited on March 2020 and stayed at 5 nights. This hotel is built at ocean front. So, short distance walk to beach is very convenient. Room is very clean in spite of a little bit small, and very comfortable with quiet at night. Breakfast is very delicious with many items. All staff is very kindly person with good speaking in English. The distance is far from the airport and take a long time due to the traffic jam. Therefore, it is necessary you have to have a enough time.

The phone is very bad! In a pandemic, they check in and check out without any control. Zero organization, the photos speak for themselves. The check in in my case was made at 7:50 p.m., knowing that the room would be released at 14 p.m., I talked about the possibility of a room before me if there was before that time (deadline). When it was 11 a.m., the receptionist Danielle called me and said she had the room available, but she had a half-day cost. I didn't want to pay half-day because there was only 3 hours left to start my day and because I would be out at lunch. I returned at 15:20 p.m. and look at the row size ( full pandemic) to check in. Note that there is no indication of distance between people. Another thing, why not check in as soon as they have available rooms and are arresting the guest until X??? The hotel administration has no respect, they are purely profit, no courtesy, and they will never be a good hotel with this level of service. If you respect your health and your family, you don't stay in this hotel.

From the service to the assembly the very good service and installation staff tb

Carlos my breakfast server always makes my morning start great. He is always on time and always makes sure I have everything I need. He speaks very good English. This is my second time to stay here for a week quaranteen and I have had him the majority of both visits.
