I believe hotels play a great role in the way you feel towards a city. We just came back from Brazil and I can say that staying at the Golden Tulip created a negative impression of the whole Rio. This Hotel is on the famous Atlantic Avenue overlooking the beach. However having came with a tour we were all given... more

I have to complain on the strongest possible terms about my recent stay at the Regente Hotel in Rio de Janeiro and in particular about its manager, Vladimir Victor. As a background I am a CEO of a mid sized publicly traded company and have spent thousands of nights in hotels around the world in my 52 years of existense.... more

This is supposed to be a 4-star hotel, but it did not take long in Rio to figure out that this is about the equivilant of a 2-3 star in most other major cities. If you are on the front, view of Copacabana beach is great, but we had a surreal view over the airshaft and hundreds of abandoned toilets... more

We stayed there for about 4 days last month. Paid about 175 USD per day. The location is great, just across copa cabana. We stayed in a room with no view and with twin beds which were extremely small. The room was clean though. The staff spoke good english but was not friendly at all. They charge for using the... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in October. Thought it was in an excellent location as it is right across from Copacabana beach. We had a large room on the 9th floor that faced the beach and had excellent views of the Sugarloaf mountain. We didn't have any problems with street noise. The breakfast was excellent as there was lots... more

Hotel in good location. Comfortable, clean and good value for money. Front rooms on low level is noisy from the road traffic but they moved us without a problem. Would go again more

We have just returned to NZ after staying for 4 nights, 2 in ocean view room which had fab view but the traffic noise was unbelieveable. We requested a back room for the final 2 nights to avoid the noise only to find there was a construction site right next door, but at least that stopped at night. The decor... more

Spent 3 nights here on our travels through Chile,Argentina and Brazil and while the location was great for Copacabana Beach which we were told to avoid at night, I don't think we would give it the 5 star rating it has, solely on its location. The staff were on the whole ok but not over friendly with the exception of... more

The hotel needs a face lift, we had a triple room and it was very large and the bathroom was great but the room itself was old and tired, was relatively clean though. The breakfast was quite good, but otherwise we didn't eat at the hotel. The pool on the roof is really small and has very limited seating, but... more
