Orla Copacabana Hotel

I've stayed at this hotel 4 times now. The staff is very good, rooms cleaned daily. The Hotel is right in the middle of Copacabana and Impanema beaches, so you can visit either beach within walking distance. The free breakfast buffet is very good. There is also free internet in your room if you bring your laptop. The rooms are modern and basic but very comfortable. You get a mini-bar (items are priced reasonably), cable tv, air conditioning and a safe.

location is excellent, at one end of Copacabana beach. pool is VERY small but one doesn't go to Rio to sit by a pool !!! Room had no view and somewhat noisy AC but didn't care as for the price $130 on NYE it was fantastic. I'd stay here again if looking for reasonable priced properties. great staff.

Felt like home away from home. I felt very safe.

This was such a great hotel. It was right on the water at Copacabana beach. The beach was great (I was told it was one of the best in the city). The staff couldn't have been nicer. I needed help with a tour reservation. No problem. I needed an electrical transformer, no problem. The wait staff in the hotel dining room pampered me. I got there super early (8:00 am) and was prepared to wait in the lobby until check-in time, but they let me have my room right away. I also needed to stay seven hours extra on the day I left and they pro-rated the extra time instead of charging me for an entire extra night. In short, I felt very taken care of. This area felt very safe to me, even though I'd been warned how dangerous the city could be. The hotel doesn't seem to be near shopping, but there are lots of restaurants and little bistros, and there's a nightly bazarre down the avenue that starts at 6:00 pm. The hotel has free Wi-fi, a nice roof top sun and lounge area with drinks and food served with a quick phone call downstairs. The pool is small and the fitness area is smallish. The computers in the business center are not free. But these were trivial to me. This hotel made my experience in Rio enjoyable, comfortable, and safe, and was a great home-base in an ideal location.

Excellent location and good value for money. Friendly helpful staff.

All the staff are very friendly and courteous. I enjoyed my stay there and particularly, the breakfasts and the waiters.

Great hotel for area and price. Very clean and staff are very helpful and friendly. We inconvenienced them by ordering a private mini van to pick us up from airport --then because of plane delays could not cancel. However counter staff were very understanding and did not charge us.

This hotel was awesome! is very good located and the staff is very friendly... it has an excellent view from the top roof and the rooms are very clean. totally recommended!

Small, very well located hotel with limited services but very service minded staff.

Ipanema is around the corner from the this hotel, which is located in Copacabana South. This is also the safest zone in Copa. The Hotel is OK. The standard rooms are small and don't have view of the bay, which is right in front of the hotel (I don't think you get a beach view in this price range anywhere). Bathrooms are very small. But the rooms have everything you need and nothing looks old or ditry. (You get complementary wireless internet, but the service is not reliable, so you better bring your ethernet cable) So the hotel is great if you are planning to spent most of you day out: at Copacabana or Ipanema beaches by day and at Ipanema or even the bars of Lapa in Downtown by night. In synthesis: great location, right in front of the beach, relatively cheap, good facilities though small ones.
