A very very good location, 2 mins from Ipanema beach and 2 mins from Rua Visc. Piraja which is the main street of Ipanema. Shops , cafes, banks and supermarkets were all close, but be aware of Sunday closures. No problems with security and often walked down the streets at night, mingling with the local families who were also out... more

Big staff and far the most of the receptionists are helpfull and english-speaking. The staff seems to want to give the impression of a really top-efficient hotel, but there is to many problems - elevators that to often do not funktion, computers that to often do not connect to the internet and who are way to expensive (30 brazilian cents... more

Located in relatively safe residential area of Copacabana within 2 mins from beach. Hotel staff (without exception) were really helpful and informative offering sound advise on all aspects from best restuarants, bars and important safety aspects. All spoke good English. Decent hot/cold breakfast served. Great roof terrace with clean pool and bar. Room was spacious and clean - not particularly... more

According to US standards, this hotel can not be more than a 2-star. The hotel is old and recently changed to Golden Tulip (previously known as the Luxor Continental). I booked a standard room. The room was clean but not to my satisfaction. Perhaps due to the fact that the public areas of my floor were not clean and there... more

I really enjoyed my stay at the Golden Tulip Continental. The staff was very nice and spoke several languages. My room was not very big but it was cosy and comfortable. It was extremely clean. The small mini-bar was nice to keep cold drinks. The breakfast buffet was excellent: both very varied and of good quality. There is a small... more

I have stayed at the Continental (now Golden Tulip) 5 times in the last 3 years. I used to stay at the Le Meridien, but after it shut down for renovations I switched here and never went back. It is on the Leme end of Copacabana, so it is a bit of a walk up to Ipanema (maybe 30 minutes... more

Stayed here with a group of friends during Carnival 2008 (as I see another reviewer also did!). I agree with all the positive things - great location, adequate sized rooms, friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast. The pool and cafe/bar on the roof were great, with spectacular views. Although the pool wasn't huge, I have seen much smaller, and would... more

I stayed at the Luxor Continental for 8 nights during carnival 2008. First, the positives: The location is great. It is near the beach without being so close that guests have to deal with the traffic on the street directly adjacent to the beach. The neighborhood is decidedly residential, with the post office a few doors down, lots of supermarkets,... more

Spent 8 nights here and had a good experience. Good clean rooms, friendly staff with good facilities. Buffet at the restaurant only costs about £10. Nice location for the swimming pool on the top floor. The hotel is about 1min to the beach and some rooms do have great views of the beach. Also you can catch glimpse of Corcovado... more
