When you see the location, you are happy with the hotel. When you walk into the lobby, you are happy with the hotel. When you wlak into your room, you wonder -what the heck just happenned??-. Rooms are just in bad shape. Looks like a cheap cheap highway motel. Noisy AC, old mattress, small bathroom. The breakfast was nice, good... More

I have stayed in Windsor Guanabarra a couple of times. i am aware that when people think of Brazil, RIO ...they think of beaches, Copacabana, Ipanema etc. but you will be surprised that RIO has so much more than Copacabana etc. Rio is full of beautiful, historical buildings,, Churches and cobbled streets etc. so to explore all these places its...

Do not come here. It is awful. The pool is tiny with cloudy water and often locked. The gym is boiling hot due to no aircon and sun streaming through windows. The bar is a conference room (no 'bar') with miserable staff sitting around watching tv. All staff seem desperately unhappy. Service is sullen, ill-informed and unhelpful, if not downright... More

I did book this 4-star hotel for one night, but they overbooked therefore they relocated me to another hotel belonging to the same chain. Only when I got there, I found out it was a 3-star facility, even though the chain owns plenty of other 4-star hotels, all showing room availability. Therefore the only thing worth mentioning about the Windsor... More

The place is ok. The food is ok. The surroundings is also ok. Back to back to the Copacabana Palace Hotel and much less expensive is very near to the famous Copacabana Beach. The bed is okay, the general facility is okay. THe best option for mid price hotels, three stars.

Every once in a while, you come across a hotel that has everything you need, like alarm clocks and irons and ironing boards in the room... that has wi-fi that works quickly and consistently without dropping you every few minutes... that has a restaurant where waiters notice that there is no silverware on the tables, or that your coffee cup...

Well organized hotel with friendly staff. The food excellent and the price is very reasonable. Only problem is the language, English is for most of the staff still a problem. If you are a smoker, the swimming pool on the top floor is a nice place.

This hotel is good if you are on business but I wouldn´t stay here for a holiday. It is located right in the centre of town on one of the busiest streets with easy access to the metro system. The rooms at the front and side are good sized with great double glazing so you dont hear any of the... More

I stayed here for a transit rather than spend 12 hours in the airport. The tiny, clean but dated room had a queen size bed, luggage bench, table, chair, minibar fridge & closet. There were power points at the desk. The bed was comfortable with reasonable linen. Additional linen was provided in the closet, along with a safe. There were... More
