I stay here with my tour groups when I come into Rio. The rooms are spacious and clean. The reception service is a bit slow checking in. The breakfast is massive and starts early. They give you beach towels as well. The location is very good. Just 3 blocks from Copacabana and is close to a Metro Stop.

Expected the hotel to be basic, but not gross. The odor in the lobby is overwhelming, and the same odor takes your appetite away in the breakfast area. The front desk staff are rude. You have to stand there for several minutes before being waited on or acknowledged. If it even happens at all. The rooms are not clean and... More

Luckily, we only had one night here after staying a few nights in Ipanema. Check-in was meant to be at 2pm, but we got here at 3:30pm just in case. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful to say the very least. We waited a while for the staff to look up from their computer screen and acknowledged us. Maybe they're... More

Well located, only two blocks from Copacabana Beach. Rooms are a little tired and small. Breakfast is great with lots of choices in fruit, breads, eggs, etc, although it gets busy when trying to feed a lot of people quickly. Rooftop pool area is great for sunning, with good view of mountains around. Pool is tiny. Front desk staff seem... More

I stayed at hotel Bandeirantes for 5 days, during a business trip to Rio. Although the localization is very good, and very near to Copacabana beach I wouldn't recommend anyone staying there. The installations of the hotel and the level of service is very bad. Just to give an example I asked the reception for several times to fix my... More

We stayed here as part of a G adventures standard tour for 5 nights over Carnival. The room was clean, and breakfast was reasonable. However, we felt food outside the hotel was expensive and poor. The location is convenient for Copacabana, and there is a supermarket nearby. Air conditioning however was noisy and didn't cool the room adequately. This hotel... More

I stayed here over Carnaval, the location is great, a few blocks for the beach, and this is why we chose the hotel. Staff: The staff was awful, AWFUL, the kept pushing us to take an organized tour in which they would receive a cut. In fact, they would not tell is how to get to any sights unless we... More

We spent four days in this hotel over NYE. It was totally overpriced, but that is how it is everywhere on Copacabana over NYE. POS: rooms are clean, a little run down furnitures from the 70 ies. Cannot say the rooms were very nice. Rooftop pool is a good option to cool down, breakfast is ok, front desk staff was... More

We got a deal on hotels.com and the hotel suited our needs for our 2 day stay. Don't expect much from this hotel. Be careful when asking the front desk for a taxi, they arrange private vehicles which are substantially more expensive, the hotel is on a main road and waving a metered taxi down is easy enough.
