The Martinque is a great hotel in a good location for tourists. The hotel is located by Copacabana beach but is just within a 10 minute walking distance of Ipanema beach. Its also located by the evening market that is in Copacabana beach every night. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast are great, there is a selection of hot... more

First trip to Rio - hotel is ideally situated at the southern end of Copacabana beach, less than a block from the beach (getting to which can involve a mad dash across several lanes of traffic hurtling along Avenida Atlantica), and about a 10-minute stroll to Cantagalo tube station. Can't grumble at the buffet breakfast - been a while since... more

Windsor Martinique hotel is a business-tourism mix hotel nicely located between Copacabana and Ipanema. Our room was very small with just one little window facing the street. Bath was ok but also tiny. Breakfast is alright but becomes boring after 2 days. Staff is helpful and English-speaking. more

This hotel is pretty basic but is in a great location, just a minute from copacobana and near the ipanema side of the beach (which is excellent for eating out/drinks). The rooms was clean and comfortable if a little small and noisy. Overall good value for money if you are looking for a place to crash as you explore the... more

This is as close to a beach-front location you can get without paying beach-front rates. The hotel is just metres from Copacabana, walking distance to Ipanema. Grocery stores and eateries surround the hotel. A crafts/souvenier market takes place on the weekends just steps from the hotel. Excellent location for an affordable price. Breakfast buffet offers solid variety of cerals, breads,... more

What a pleasant surprise this hotel turned out to be! Marble and granite floors/walls, and the furniture in the rooms is very Scandinavian. The food selection at breakfast was good, and the staff are very responsive. The front desk staff is very helpful and you can exchange dollars for Reals there, although not as good a rate as at the... more

Location, location, location--for a great price! This hotel is half a block from Copacabana Beach which is fantastic considering the price you pay for this excellent hotel. You also get to use the beach services of the fancier Windsor since it's near by. That means free umbrellas and Marcos who gets you drinks and watches your stuff. The staff are... more
