My mother and I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We arrived early in the morning by an air france flight from Paris and the room wasn't ready for us. We went to beaches and came back around noon and were informed that the room was ready for us. The room was well decorated and comfortable. It's not big... More

I stay 5d at this hotel, I had a good experience there, clean room, good breakfast, good rate for exchange. I just want to comment about noise level at the rooms, you can hear everything even the elevator engine and the shower of the others, I remembered a travel in a military submarine. The other fact is the expensive internet... More

The Asturias is one of ten Windsor hotels in Rio, including three in centro, six in Copacabana, and one in Barra da Tijuca. This moderately priced hotel is in Cinelandia. It is very close to a Metro station, only one block from the financial heart of Rio in Avenida Rio Branco and but a short walk or cab ride from... More

We did not realize that, when travelling to Rio, Rock in Rio was going on, which explained the lack of available hotels. The Windsor Asturias was one of the very few, and, therefore, we decided to stay here. My impressions are as follows: (a) location: only good if you have to do business downtown. We arrived on a Saturday evening,... More

I had never stayed at Rio de Janeiro centre before, and this experience was really great. The hotel is quite new, well located, near Santos Dumont airport (regional flights only) and the historical centre, with many historical attractions (Teatro Nacional, Biblioteca Nacional, Confeitaria Colombo, Arcos da Lapa, Cinelândia...), as well as the the Metro station, within walking distance. The location... More

The Windsor Asturias is in the Centro district (Cinelandia), a bit away from the beaches and general tourist crowd. What I really liked about this hotel is the friendly and professional service - it was not a problem to check in at 10am (after an overnight flight), and staff were very helpful. Great value too: only €108 per night, including... More

Recently returned from business trip where stayed at this property. For my meetings...quite convenient, as was walking distance. However, being in Centro almost everything shuts down at end of business day so options for outside food and drink are limited. Breakfast buffet is of good value, but lunch and dinner prices are a bit steep given location, atmosphere and quality.... More

I recently stayed in this hotel this past weekend and I was pleased with everything. The neighborhood is not much to look at but it is close to other pretty areas. The subway is only 5 minutes away and it is on the mainline to all of the popular areas. If you don’t want to pay the high hotel prices... More
