Myself and my partner (both in our 20's) were a bit dubios about staying here over New Years 2011/12 when we had read the reviews however I must say it was lovely. Our room was on the 17th floor overlooking the city, very spacious and clean. The staff were excellent and friendy, very helpful and either spoke english or immediately... More

We stayed one night in a small room behind the elevator shaft and had to sleep with ear plugs in. The bathroom was small, filthy and had a shower like a hose. The staff did not want to help, it felt like they just wanted our money. We asked them to book us a cab which never came and they... More

I stayed just one night at this hotel but I can tell it was very pleasant to know it is located right in the center of Rio de Janeiro. The location is the best of this hotel. Room and bathroom were clean and well disposed. The breakfast is another atraction, with many brazilian options. The service is also good and... More

Good choice when staying in Rio centre. The hotel is clean and staff helpful. Eventhought the hotel is located in the centre you can hardly find open restaurant at the weekend, especially on Sunday. The centre is full of office buildings and the people are gone at the weekend so the neighborhood is very empty. Conversely, on weekdays, the centre... More

We stayed at the Windsor Guanabara for a couple of weeks in August. The hotel staff speak some English and were helpful enough. Our room was on the 11th floor, and was comfortable. Don't expect fancy bathroom toiletries, you will get only ordinary shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, no moisturisers/lotions. No frills and fancies here. Breakfast was good, and... More

We stayed one night in this hotel following our filght cancelation. It's obviously run-down and desperately needing renovation. Everything looked old: the restaurant, the business center (with paid Internet access) and the rooms even if spacious. The AC was extremely noisy and we didn't have hot water in the morning. The furniture is old and the bed not confortable. The... More
