Orla Copacabana Hotel

Such a gem. Breakfast service was amazing, a spread of delights. William our waiter was always so attentive every morning knew our drink orders without even asking. A+. My only surprise was the toilet paper in the hotel lobby. Then learned that is common in Rio - a slight adjustment from what one is use to in the US. By day 2 it didn’t even matter.

Great location on Copacabana and within close proximity of Ipanema. Hotel staff were extremely helpful. Comfortable room & lovely morning buffet. Would stay here again. Photo is sunrise viewed from the rooftop pool area

Stayed on the 12th floor. A little bit of noise from the street, but it was ok. It did not keep us awake. |Lovely views of the beach. |13th floor roof top bar was fab! |Rooms very clean and well kept. |Had a fabulous stay and would recommend to everyone!

Lovely hotel, clean, comfortable bed, fantastic location, amazing views from the terrace on the 13th floor, swimming pool,sauna, gym. Breakfast was superb, fresh tropical fruit every morning. Customer service was great. Pedro and Jose were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again when visiting Rio.

Rooftop is nice & location is solid. Otherwise, very average hotel. Not worth the price. Management tries cutting corners. Very small pool & gym. WiFi is spotty. Would not stay here if you are a foreigner.

Very good hotel, good breakfast, close to the beach. Clean room. Very nice rooftop bar. I could live here again if I would get back to Rio.

The Orla is a very quaint hotel with amenities that surpass the quality of the rooms. Our room was small with no view, but was clean and comfortable. The rooftop pool and gym (and view) are very nice, and the included buffest breakfast is excellent. Also, the location can't be beat as we were easily able to walk around both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.

Great experience. Attentive service at a wonderful break fast. Room cleaning staff was effective. View on the 13th outdoor Terrence provided an unobstructed Panaramic view of Copacabana beach both in the day and night time. Will come back.

Awesome location! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Our 10.5hr flight arrived early in the morning which meant we arrived at the hotel before check in time... I think they may have taken pity on me because I looked so tired and awful that they allowed us to check in early. Luis at the front desk help us book all of our tours and gave us recommendations for restaurants. We added the breakfast to our stay which was a good mix of all kinds of fruit, breads and other breakfast items. Coffee, tea and juice were brought to the table. Totally worth it before the long tour days. The area felt very safe. We walked around at night with no issues. There is Fort Copacabana across the street so that might have been a part of the safety. I highly recommend this hotel.

Orla Copacabana is the first hotel I stayed at in Rio. The best part about this hotel is the location. It's a stones throw away from Ipanema and directly in front of Copacabana beach. Plenty of restaurants and markets nearby to choose from. The rooms are clean and basic. It's pretty much the standard for hotels I've stayed at internationally. If you are expecting the 2,900 square foot Hangover Suite at Caesars Palace, you'll be very disappointed. It's real "standard", nothing fancy. (FYI, for fancy try Rio Sofitel, but there's a big price difference) Breakfast each morning was good and the staff was always friendly and accommodating. Overall I found this hotel acceptable. One of the the better locations but not my first choice when in Rio.

I've been pretty unimpressed with the selection of hotels in Rio, most are very dated and not worth the high price point, and those that are super nice, are well out of the budget. Hoping I'd find a nice balance of chic and ~$200/night, I fell upon Orla. After all, it's located right on Avenida Atlantica (which is oceanfront) and it's close to the Copacabana Fort (which also means it's within walking distance of Ipanema). Sadly, I did not dig my temporary digs. The Orla hotel is part of the class of amazingly located but poorly dated/designed retro hotels. My superior room seemed anything but, although I guess that's all relative. I opened the window to find the view of another building encroaching upon my modest room. The bathroom had Days Inn-type toiletries and the bed was rigid with rough sheets. The wi-fi also didn't work very well from my room. On the plus, the hotel staff was very cordial and helpful, the breakfast buffet looked nice and the rooftop pool is a perk in the warmer months. While I won't likely stay here again, it's worth it if you're balling on a budget and happen to score a good deal. Also, if you're not going to stay in the room a lot, the location is great.

The amenities and service in this hotel is poor. The wireless connection although free does not work. The breakfast is full of carbs and there is no coffee in the room. They would not even provide hot water in the room. The guest services did not speak English. The restaurant in the hotel had no choices of food for vegetarians. There are no decent restaurants nearby either. I would not recommend this hotel. The towels looked dirty and the beds were not good either. The ocean view from the deluxe room is very good but not worth the price. The location to the fort and the beach is good. The front desk personnel spoke English.

Had an awful experience at our previous hotel so we checked out and got a room here. Was VERY reasonably priced for how nice it is. It's as close to the beach as you can get. AMAZING front desk staff and service. Clean rooms. Free wifi. Free breakfast for 4.5 hours every morning... What more could you ask for! We loved it!
