Hilton Barra Rio De Janeiro
The service was AMAZING! The staff were so welcoming and caring and I definitely would come back! A bit far from most activites and famous spots such as ipanema and Copacobana but still a nice place to stay.

Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort
La propiedad está bien estuve siete días aunque el jueves y viernes santo había muchísima gente y eso impedía conseguir reposeras pero en general el servicio los demás días muy bien

Rio Othon Palace
Hotel ok, but the room in the 10th floor was very noise as the window glas is not noise cancelling. The rooftop bar is great.

Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro
There was a layer of grime on the floors, toilet didn’t flush properly, the door had cracks and mold. Someone tried to enter our room and staff was very unfriendly and unhelpful. We also stayed at the Emiliano down the street and it was just fabulous in every sense.
