Upon arriving at the hotel, myself and my fellow travellers were struck dumb and somewhat disappointed with the exterior appearance. Nothing much changed when we entered the lobby area either. We checked in but were unable to access our room for a couple of hours and so decided to 'chill by the pool in the shade' after our travels. We... More

Rio is always a challenge with hotels - especially the beach front hotels. Rates tend to be high and don't match the hotel quality. Regente has been refurbished and it's quite nice. It lacks a bit of soul, but it has a modern feel. It's very clean and relatively comfortable. I did have a problem with the bathroom with drainage... More

I have just returned from my trip to Rio where I had booked 6 nights in this hotel , I changed to another hotel after two nights . I had no problem with the staff , they seemed to work pretty hard however our room was a big dissapointment . I booked this hotel through a Brazilian contact because of... More

I've been a guest of this hotel since it was a part of the "Luxor" chain of hotels. I usually stay in one of the 'de luxe' rooms at the fromt of the hotel. I suggest that in order to retain a 'de luxe' status, these rooms really need to be refurbished. E.G. The toilet bowls are old style and... More

We stayed in the hotel over New Year's eve paying 3200 reais for four nights in a standard room - prices sky-rocket in that time of the year. All in all the hotel was probably the worst experiences with regards to hotels I had in the last years. Let me give some key facts: - There was no parking space... More

Located directly at the beach of Copacabana, this hotel appears differently: Very friendly staff at check-in, no waiting time. Lobby and public areas appear light, friendly and clean. The room located to the backyard was quiet and clean, but dark and smelled a little strange and the bathroom needs a refurbishment. Overall it was okay, but the bear traces are... More

in room 414 the airco didn't work, ok this can happen. Changed to room 1120, water was brown, ok this can happen. Both rooms the internet was terrible, can happen too. Then someone did steal money out of our room. Even this can happen anywhere. What is totaly unacceptable is they didn't do anything. Every time they promissed to call... More

Spent four days here on business -- not my choice, and someone else paid. Assume the cost was not bad relative to Rio hotels. There are two parts to the hotel, an older part closest to the beach, and a newer part in the back. I stayed in the front part. Room was pretty utilitarian and a bit old and... More

The room was nice, the breakfast at the hotel ok but there are other options close by that I preferred. Overall worth to price for the location and nice rooms. More
