Hotels near Portugal Pequeno, Rio de Janeiro

Dear Sirs, One of the best places one could stay in Rio de Janeiro. Very good structure inside the building and rooms. Very good breakfast and the Stilo Restaurant in the lobby near the pool. The SPA is very nice and having sauna and jacuzzi. Overall the experience has been more than satisfactory and it has been very nice to feel the hotel cares about its guests. Sometimes I had to leave to run some errands but there would always be someone of the staff keeping an eye on my Mother when I was not around. Thank you all heaps for the great stay and I shall be back! I also should make a remark I usually stay about one month in every hotel I go and therefore I have all the elements to express a legit opinion. A good hotel does feel like you are actually home and Laghetto is exactly like that. Kudos for all and most obliged once more! Anyway, I did hear the rumor that a staff member is about to write a mystery book portraying the Laghetto Stilo and all the staff as the actual book characters. Ain’t it tops? Another staff member working in the Stilo restaurant is a great singer and you see a great deal of talented people out and about, which depicts the hotel as a power force not only as a great place to stay but as well as a place where true talent runs in the veins. The drinks are superb and the food is so fine that you can come back from the beach and feast. In a certain way, Laghetto Stilo does remind me when I was a little child in Wales, where every summer I could watch the very same scenes from the hotel where I used to stay. Art, memories, nice people and a nice infrastructure. What else could someone wish for? I do enjoy a place where talent runs around and besides that, even the linen is top quality and so are the rooms. The access to the beach is very easy and all in all, the place grows on you as times passes by. Not actually willing to carry coals to Newcastle, I found here a great atmosphere and that’s the same one others should experience. They will try to accommodate every demands, or simple whims and they are all deeply experienced staff bearing know how enough to grant you what you are asking for or very close of it. The pool is enough, the hotel needs not to portray any ostentation because what they have is enough. It’s like finding a pot of gold belonging to a leprechaun at the end of a rainbow, only this time, the leprechaun will share his gold with you. Keep up with the great job! My very special thanks to the following reception staff members: *Alex * Gael * Aline * Carla * Raianny * Kivya * Evelyn * Matheus * Felipe * Cristian * Cláudio * Daniel * Mário Also my very special thanks to the messengers: *Robert * Alexandro * Carlos * Michael * Alexandre * Ronald * Gabriel * Luis If I really wanted to be quintessentially picky, I would suggest a couple of things: 1) At some point the towels were available directly at the pool site, but now they are at the reception, and the staff, already busy, still has to deal with deliv

Positive Great Location, you are relatively close to everything in walking distance. There is a pharmacy next door, as well as a bakery that has outstanding quality. The rooms are clean and spacious. One of the big pros for me is that there are no carpets, which is a big plus. It avoids any unpleasant smells. Negative Unfortunately, there are a lot more negative comments rather than positive ones. My family and I usually stay at the Grand Hyatt, but due to Covid-19, the hotel was temporarily closed. We were left with no other option but to give this hotel a try. I want to emphasize that this hotel has the potential to be a 4 or 5-star hotel if adjustments are made. Nonetheless, this hotel should be a 3 star. On the first day of arrival, we had wifi. However, on the 2 day of our stay, we no longer had wifi. We contacted the reception desk, and the girls in counter said they were having issues with their wifi due to their guest capacity?!?!?!?!?!?! really? This is a hotel that shouldn't even be an issue. We are in 2020 in 2020 even McDonalds has a reliable WIFI however, Windsor Marapendi did not. After a few days the ”Partial Wifi” was back up, I mean partial because the wifi was only available in the lobby. Just writing this review baffles me with their lack of proper and basic preparation and administration. Wifi was not available during our entire 9-day stay. We stayed on the 13th floor, and again I repeat no wifi in the room. I had to go down to the lobby so I could log in to my laptop to work. How inconvenient and above all this, not one apology and acknowledgment of their lack of proper planning from the hotel, and they didn't even move a finger to make matters right with this nuisance. There was a lack of responsibility and care from the hotel. All they would say is that they are working on it. The hotel charges for the use of an adapter. It's 50 real. Although it's nothing if you convert it to USD, all hotels allow you to borrow an adapter if needed. Especially one that has no wifi. (forgive me, but I can't get over this wifi issue) Breakfast is free, which is a nice thing (especially for a hotel with no wifi), but it's mediocre, your best off going out for breakfast you will have a much better experience. Blowdryer is obsolete. Suppose you want to dry your hair, good luck. Bring your blowdryer. In my case, I had to go out and buy one during my stay. The Reception desk crew needs a complete revamp on professionalism and Customer Service. If you are trying to be a high-end hotel ( Which this hotel is not), Customer service is everything you guest needs to feel welcomed and feel like their needs is cared for regardless of how little or big their needs are. Windsor Marapendi, you have great potential if the criticism is taken and executed for them not to happen again in the future with other guests. You need major improvement. You should be rated as a 2 star if that. Holiday inn is a 5 star compared to

Excellent experience. Thanks a lot. Acomodação excelente. Tudo bem limpo e organizado. Café da manhã maravilhoso. A tapioca e os omeletes feitos na hora são um show a parte. Tudo muito gostoso e bem limpinho. A piscina maior faz sombra à tarde. mas toda área externa, sauna, piscina é bem bacana. Atendimento super impecável. São todos muito atenciosos.

Very relaxing stay at this hotel. The location right across from the beach was great. And what an amazing beach. Sunsets were incomparable. Much cleaner and far more chill than Copa or Ipanema. The service on the beach was excellent, staff were very attentive and quick.. The food in the lobby bar was also excellent with good options for a vegetarian. Another added bonus were the free bikes to go for a cycle along the coast.

Comfortable stay, however room cleanliness was not good. Moldy shower door and hair visible on the floor and sink. Breakfast average taste and quality.

- Banho excelente - Estacionamento excelente. Não deveria ser cobrado. - Café da manhã poderia ser melhor. - Cardápio poderia ser ampliado. - Cozinha não soube oferecer bom hambúrguer e boa pizza (tão simples!) - TV já deveria oferecer YouTube e Netflix ...

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.

I stayed here where my flight from Lisbon to Belo Horizonte was diverted to Rio de Janeiro due to the airport being closed due to the bad weather. So it was the airline TAP Portugal which arranged (and paid for) my stay here. And I really enjoyed it. The reception staff was really friendly, welcoming and helpful. My room had a nice view of mainly the hotel in front but also of the beach. It was clean, the beds were comfortable so just 10/10

We stayed here the 2nd time after 12 years. Picked a similar room as we had 1st time: ocean view king suite. It is a bit more expensive than their cheapest rooms, but EXCELLENT value for money. We had room on the 12th floor directly overlooking the waves with two windows. As the hotel and beach is to the south, you get BOTH sunrise and sunset view from your room...see photos attached:) Room is good size, reasonably fresh with only a bit of age and spots here and there. Cleaning is ok, and hotel is in excellent safe area with direct beach access. We much prefer Barra da Tijuca anyway, against the overhyped and crowded, expensive copacabana. But each to his own. Hotel itself (lobby etc) is nice, staff is great, restaurant has very good food. The cocktails of their bar at ground floor as well as by the pool are excellent quality and cheap (as usual in Brazil). HOWEVER... a big however... After booking directly via their ”secure” website, via Amex card, my card details were either sold or re-used by somebody at the hotel staff, as BEFORE our actual trip began, it started being used at various (online?) shops in Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte and even in Madrid. I had already a 600 euro hit (in some 10 different fraudulous shoppings) before i realized and blocked it. Lucky with Amex's good insurance policy i did not lose money directly on this, nevertheless i ended up with no Amex card on my 2-weeks Brazil trip as oi didnt have the new one yet, and in general it gave a bitter taste to this stay. Because of this i have to reduce the rating. So a word of advice: Book this hotel with confidence, BUT book it via a well-known room broker website, NOT directly thru the Windsor website!
