Olinda Rio Hotel

I am extremely happy with last minute decision that I canceled another 4 stars beach front hotel booking due to those horrifying reviews and chose to stay at Olinda Rio, the 3 stars hotel with more promising reviews, better rates, better price. The reception staff are very friendly and supportive during my 2 days’ stay. Ivan gave me very good impression about Olinda Rio Hotel on my arrival. One door guy is helping me with my packing and two ladies are very patient and kind with my questions when I reached out. We all say the front desk is the face of the hotel. So true. Then the Cleanliness! Especially the bathroom, the vanity, the area around the taps, the sink bowl drain hole, the toilet roll quality (not cheap quality. Some hotel with the cheap quality that you even cannot pull it as it easily broken) And no water accumulation at all in the shower during use!!!😂😂😊😊 I wish I took the photos. Breakfast area: clean, reasonable varieties. My only suggestion is that maybe add salad in future after all not all of us are having sweet tooth😁 Location: unbeatable P.s I am in accomodation industry as well. That is why I could be picky. But I would say Olinda Rio performs extremely well compared to what I have paid. And I hardly spend my precious holiday time to write lengthy reviews. But if my feedback helps you when you are lost in many options, I am happy to do it.

Excellent location. The staff were friendly and professional.|My room had a great view looking over to the beach. Traffic noise at night wasn't too bad. Everything worked fine. The bed had clean linens and afforded me a comfortable sleep.|The bathroom had good hot water and pressure.|Breakfast was adequate.|

Perfect location, beautiful seaview. Nice clean hotel, with delicious bufet breakfast . Extra point for the luggage storage ;)

I stayed at the Olinda Rio Hotel on 3/9-12. I greatly enjoyed my stay. The location is amazing as Copacabana Beach is right across the street. The dining room is gorgeous with huge windows so you can people watch or look at the beach while you eat your dinner, lunch, or breakfast. It’s an older hotel that has clearly been well kept. My room was nice and spacious and clean and cozy. The room’s fridge was stocked and there were chilled glasses in the fridge which was such a lovely touch. Moreover, the staff were so helpful, warm and welcoming. Marcus(front desk), Pitagna(front desk), and Fabricio(reservations) were kind and helpful. They were very personable. It’s oftentimes obvious if workers aren’t treated well or don’t like their job. That didn’t seem like the case here at all. Everyone was so kind and pleasant. I would absolutely stay again if I ever returned to Rio. Also felt safe as a female solo traveler. I do have a few complaints. The doors aren’t soundproof so if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs. I couldn’t hear my neighbors much but I could hear the hustle and bustle of the morning “rush” in the hallways. The bathroom had a bit of a sewage type of smell. Not horrible but noticeable. It helped to open the window. Despite these I would still return as I really enjoyed my stay. I booked on Booking.com but can’t figure out how to post this review there so I came to google.

Pretty good hotel, all friendly and nice If only they had good coffee for breakfast....

Great location right in Copacabana with the beach access a quick walk across the street. You can rent umbrellas and chairs to hang out all day. There are also lots of vendors around so you'll never be hungry or thirsty. The rooms, however, are quite dated. Despite having a room with a balcony overlooking the ocean, the room really was basic. Nothing about it felt luxurious-old table, clumsy closet doors, lack of storage and hooks in the bathroom. There was even a hole in the bathroom door. The stay was fine. The staff was helpful. Complimentary breakfast every morning, but pretty much the same food everyday with the exception of maybe one hot dish changed. Stay for the location, not sure the quality of the room.

Good location in Rio Copacabana. Rooms are clean but old fashioned. Breakfast modest and for safety reasons, the waiter will prepare the toast for guests. No bottle water provided and no portable water outlet. Our room with the Copacabana beach view buts bit noisy due to limited noise insulation.

This hotel is probably one of the best ones i've stayed in. The staff was overly helpful. The location was directly across the beach from the beach and the views are amazing. They have a bar and restaurant in there.That's actually really good. I highly recommend this place

Will stay again!! Fair prices, great staff that speak English if you don't speak Portuguese (I do). Nicely renovated vintage style hotel with AC, hot water and great pressure for showers, some rooms have bathtubs, very clean, right on Copacabana beach and close to everything (walking distance). Oh and an AMAZING buffet breakfast included!!!
