The Regina Hotel used to be one of the famous luxury Rio hotels, that declined in status, and then was renovated to bring it up to more modern standards. The results are satisfactory, but there were still a number of unchanged quirks left for the guest to figure out. Overhead lights and air conditioner turn on by inserting a keycard... More

Stayed here during Rio Carnival a good clean but basic hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. Most of the reception staff speak english. Very good location 2 mins from metro which takes you anywhere, quick and easy! The breakfast was one of the best we sampled during our tour of South America. More

The hotel is conveniently close to the beach (about 5 mins walk), the domestic terminal (about 10 mins drive) and again 5 mins walk from a lot of shops and restaurants. The first impression is very good, the reception area is clean, spacious and staff will speak English. It does tend to get a bit chaotic, especially in the morning... More

A lot of the staff were rude, helping us as little as possible. Some of the staff were wonderful - there was one porter that helped us a lot, and the guy in the restaurant was really friendly.

The rooms are quite comfortable and very clean. The employees are very polite and helpful. The breakfast is wonderful, varied and tasty. Worth the price paid More

Overall, I can truly recommend Hotel Regina. The area around the Hotel is suprisingly pretty good for (daily/non-exclusive) shopping and food. The hotel is located directly at a Metro station, so that you can escape easily. The rooms and the service are ok. The staff at the front desk can speak English, which might be helpful for some travelers. The... More

I was going to attend a two-day meeting and called Hotel Regina for reservations. I was told to confirm my request through email, and I did it. Right after, I received an email confirming my reservation and the fare. Once I got there, after a whole day of meeting, around 7 PM, I was told there was no reservation for... More

We stayed in Regina for an overnight in Rio and were very pleased with the clean and comfortable rooms. A great choice for families as they have quad rooms. Excellent breakfasts. Contact the hotel directly if you are booking last minute, we got a great deal. More
