Just stayed here for two days. Yes it is on the beach but its two star at most. Funny smell in the corridors and towels are gray with use. Reception is badly trained and no idea of whats good customer service. One of them actually didnt have the courtesy to raise his eyes from some paper he was reading while... more

I´ve stayed at Royalty Barra in April, 2009, with my mother, my one year old daughter and my husband. The location is great and the rooms are ok, although not every one has an ocean view as promissed. If you want to enjoy the breakfast, you must wake up really soon, because things just end and there is no replacement.... more

Located on beautiful and well-tended Barra da Tijuca beach with shops and restaurants in the next street, but the worst hotel ever for attitde and service. Where shall I start? - unable or unwilling to respond to email and fax contacts when trying to reserve my (group) booking - extortionate rate for early check-in - gave me a different room... more

I stayed here on a business trip, the staff were all friendly but very few of them spoke English. The public areas of the hotel are in reasonably good condition but the rooms are a bit tired. My balcony over looked the beach and had a great view. Everything was clean and the food was good. There is wireless internet,... more

Ah yes, what a fine establishment. The ONLY redeeming quality is the view and if you are not keen on the ocean forget it. This hotel is 2 star at best. During my stay which was far from cheap or even ‘reasonable’ I was charged extra at every turn. I even had to pay extra to use the safe which... more

I spent 7 days in this hotel on a business trip from September 13-20, 2008. The hotel was mediocre at best. The bed was awfully uncomfortable. The room attendants often did not leave clean towels and I needed to request more. They charge R$5 per day to use the in-room safe--I have never paid to use a safe before. They... more

Nice hotel, near the ocean. Good trafik to Copacabana & Ipanama. The room was clean, but the cleaning lady was so angry, always. Good fitness room, and very good pool. The fruit juice is very good! Vivien, Hungary more

Great location right on Barra beach - most rooms have a balcony with a seaview. Good sized rooms. Breakfast was great by my standards, cereal, fresh fruit, danishes, breads etc, but if you expect a big bacon and eggs spread you may be disappointed. Was staying here on business so was good to have internet access although was fairly pricey.... more

This is a beachfront hotel - the only way to stay closer to the beach is camping on it! The lifeguard station is on the beach, directly in front of the hotel - men in shorts!! Loads of them!! Seriously, rooms are good if you get a sea view. Bathrooms really need updating, I'd recommend a pair of flip-flops for... more
