The hotel has good size rooms and well appointed. Nothing fancy or special, just plain, tasteless but decent decoration. As for the rest of the services, they are below average but in line with Rio de Janeiro in general which is distinctive for the poor quality of its services and personnel. Internet was out 2 out of 3 days, and... More

Promenade is a very good hotel, big room, good service and staff, but far away from downtown. It is located in a high class neighborhood, and the region is quiet, clean and beautiful, breakfast is excelent. If you want to go to the beach you have to take a ticket in the reception, a mini golf vehicle to get in... More

There are few good hotel options in Barra da Tijuca with "reasonable" prices, even for the Rio standards. Stayed in Promenade for one night only during a business meeting. The staff was just ok and the room, despite of big and spacious, is also just ok. I didn't have breakfast, just lunch at the buffet restaurant which was good! Sure... More

This hotel is modern and clean with a good breakfast and a lovely pool. I had reason to stay in Barra but if you are a tourist go to Ipanema. There is no reason to stay further away from the main attractions but on saying that the beach in Barra is nicer, cleaner and hassle free compared to other beaches... More

Unfortunately i missed the bag only when i arrived at the airport. I call immediattely and someone at the lobby tell... More

I loved this hotel, it was quiet, clean, located in this modern, beautiful neighborhood. Despite being far from the main attractions in Rio, if you have a car it's no problem at all. There's parking, free internet, our breakfast was included and it was really good. We were not told by the stuff that there was a boat that could... More

I basically ended up staying here because I booked a Carnival trip at the last minute (not recommended) and the price seemed (relatively) acceptable compared to more central spots. But I somewhat misread the map and had no idea how remote the hotel was from all the action in Rio (which is is Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana). The long, pricey... More

Located in Barra, that is not very convinient for regular tourists that want to visit the main atractions. Breakfast was good. The hotel is located inside a very nice condo, with good services and a private boat to the beach (not more thAn 5 minutes).

Stayed one week at the Promenade Barra First and loved it. Spacious, clean and well decorated room with nice view and location. It just isn't too close to the beach if you wanna use it as a vacation base. Excellent fitness center and good breakfast. Room service is also quite good and fast. After trying some other hotels in the... More

Stayed here for 1 night, that was enough. The good: Good location for Barra, big rooms, balcony, has a pool. The bad: Service, we had 3 different interactions with 3 different front desk agents, all left us very uninspired. No hello, welcome, how was your trip? No, thanks for staying with us, how was your stay? Just very cold and... More
