Decent stay at this hotel right in the thick of copacabana. Good nearby dining options and a great rooftop for drinks and views of copacabana beach and sugar loaf. Hotel not as good as other Portobay hotels but the Staff were exceptional. Would stay again.

Great location Friendly staff Large comfortable bed Small pool on the roof with a bar. Poor water pressure, the hotel looks newer in the pictures however saying that the hotel isn’t run down, I was not wowed by the hotel but at the same time I didn’t not like it either. I do feel it was over priced for what I paid.

We had a fabulous suite with a panoramic view of Copacobana beach. The only problem was that breakfast was a little limited and you have to be very patient to get coffee and top ups. Can't believe they do breakfast every day! The restaurant was nice.

I booked a superior top floor room then was upgraded to the deluxe panoramic room, it was fabulous I was greeted with a glass of fizz at check in and got excellent service throughout my stay. One of the best buffet breakfasts....even fizz there too!!! Beautiful views of Copacabana from the roof top pool (very small) Room service was excellent and very good value, book a superior room if you can well worth it!!

Not 4 star!

Insufficient lighting, low maintenance of rooms, better breakfast buffet needed, lifts are too small, bed & balcony furniture not comfortable, lack of English television channels. Definitely not 4 stars, more like a 2 star hotel.

People intending to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate prior to travelling for more information.
