I absolutely adored this hotel!!! We arrived here early on a bus from Sao Paolo, and exhausted arrived at the Royal Rio. FIrst impression was excellent. It is a lovely entrance! Next, we came to book in. As we were extremely early for check in ( I think it was 8:30 or so) the woman at the front desk (... More

We spent ages looking at hotels in Rio as you don't seem to get much for your money, so I suppose our expectations of this hotel weren't too high. However, we were blown away. We traipsed in after a full day hiking in the rain dressed in nothing but swimwear and towels but the staff greeted us with full courtesy.... More

I stayed there for one night. Everything was great! The breakfast is excelent. The room is not big but very comfortable and clean. I recomend this hotel. The only thing I didn´t like was the crowd to check out. Luckly I checked out at 11am, after that the place got crowded with big lines.

Note this is a Hotel one road behind Copocabana beach - so no beach view - but that is how it is priced. The roof top pool is small but a good sun bathe splash area - and beach views. The... More

We stayed here 3 nights, arriving New Year's Day. Though we arrived at the check in time stated in our reservation, the lobby was mobbed with people and luggage who had apparently come to Copacabana for NY's Eve. The staff was harried at first but proved excellent after the crowd thinned. This is a high-rise several blocks from Copacabana beach,... More

This was an excellent hotel to stay. Very good to sleep, nice to swim, good breakfast-buffet, kind staff. And as we had to take the airplane late in the evening, we could leave our luggage in the hotel & even to refresh us before going to the airport. To recommend!

We stayed at the Royal Rio for 7 nights over New Years and would definitely recommend this hotel. Location wise for the Reveillon on Copacabana excellent and plenty of decent restaurants close by. Hotel staff very friendly, efficient esp. the lady up by the pool bar (Im afraid I cant remember her name!). Food was good and prices for food... More

After seeing my 2M tall son, immediately gave an upgrade to a bigger room. Good start! Liked the ambience in this hotel, very relaxed, breakfast is very good with lots of fabulous fresh fruit. Enjoyable stay, will go back.
