“Hotel Bandeirantes - Rio De Janeiro”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

Guys, it took me 5 hrs to decide on which hotel to select for my 2days stay at Rio De Janeiro.. I looked and tried to book almost 17hotels, depending on all reviews, I did not complete my booking on any of those 17 Hotels.

Finally I saw Hotel Bandeirantes, which is practically 5-7mins walk to Copacaban Beach!

When I reached here (very late at 7pm), I thought I should have stayed more close to the Beach, but the Hotel rates in Rio are equal to any 5* Hotel of Bombay.

Anyways, I was indeed glad to stay here:

1. Staff is good
2. Rooms are clean
3. It is safe,even if your money is in the room. The room service lady is very honest(personal experience)
4. Beach is 5-7 mins. walk
5. Most importantly for ALL VEGGI people, you have enough choice to select from your Breakfast.

You have many markets nearby, bus stops are nearby...

For me it is worth to stay here... RATES are SKY ROCKET in RIO!

Regards,

Room Tip: High floors, ask for twin bed rooms, these are much bigger in size, and then later ask them to get y...

“You get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

Its a BRL250 per night hotel in Copacababa, don't expect it to be oaf a high standard and you won't be disappointed. In UK terms, its a 2* hotel.

Internet didn't work in the room, the room was noisy, ether from the AC or from the road, depending on whether you had the window open or closed.

I won't be going back, but if its all you want to pay for a night in Rio, adjust your expectations and it won't offend.

“Beware- this place is terrible in every way”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

I traveled to Rio on 11/5 with a study abroad group of masters nursing students. 10 of us...we had made reservations months in advance. When the enire group arrived we were treated rudley and downright hostile. No record could be found of our reservation. We were "allowed" to stay one night and then had to "get out". I have never expereienced anything so awful in any other hotel in the entire world.
Honestly though...the room was discusting and gross anyway so everything works out for a reason....
Shout out to Fernando the bartender though...he was kind and considerate...he needs a better place to work...

Room Tip: the pool is the size of a bathtub and not very clean

“Average hotel taking advantage of it's prime location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

Stayed here for 1 night as part of Gap Adventures Tour, therefore price was included. Priciness precluded us from booking it during our entire stay in Rio. Service was poor - no porter service, unhelpful reception staff when called via phone, wifi charged at 15 reais/day, dirty and old-looking furnishings in room. Noticed a fecal stain on the wall of the bathroom. Towels were thin and old. No jug to boil water. Bin in toilet was lidless. Security staff fell asleep during their shift so had to tap glass doors with a rock to wake them up after coming back at 3:30am from a samba session. Only redeeming feature was a good buffet breakfast. Somewhat agree with the general distribution of the reviews.

“Awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

This was, by far, one of the worst experiences in a hotel in my whole life. Rooms were almost US$200 a night for a fiasco. Attention was terrible, nobody asked ever to pick up the luggage, for example. During my stay I had to send dirty dishes into the elevator as they didn't pick them up 2 DAYS AFTER! - in my bed I had bed bugs - they never changed sheets or towels, or even shampoo. Rooms were dirty and greasy. They even called to wake up a colleague that was in other room by mistake at 03:30 in the morning and they even said sorry.

If you want to play a bad joke on somebody you hate, send him to this hotel.

Room Tip: Never choose a room here
