“Rio”

Very nice except for some noise from room(s) nearby.

“Welcome relief for 2 tired travellers”

Although not the most modern of hotels, staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and we had the most comfortable night of our entire trip. Breakfast was excellent

“SO Disappointed”

I would not recommend anyone to come to this hotel. The staff was so unfriendly, I cannot even describe it with words. I felt like I was not wanted and has definitely ruined our trip to Rio.

“Great boutique hotel near Copacabana with incredible views”

The Premier is a great place to stay in a quiet, boutique hotel within a very easy walk of Copacabana Beach. There are restaurants, snack shops, banks with ATMs within a block or two of the hotel. The area is very safe to walk around during the day and should be even for most of the evening. There is a subway station just across the street, which makes for easy access to all of Rio. If you're concerned with safety, there is a police station on the other side of the subway station. Hotel is very clean and well maintained. The rooms although not huge are well arranged and in excellent condition. The beds are a bit firm, but comfortable. The bathroom is a good size with a large counter, sink, mirror and large shower with very hot water. It also has a toilet with a bidet. There is a nice pool on the roof with lounge chairs, bar and a sauna. The roof top is the place to be as the sun good down as the views are stunning of Cristo Redentor and the mountains in one direction and the beach in the other. Hotel

“Rio Premier Copacabana Hotel”

very good location, across street from Metro and 5 blocks from beach. amenities were very good, AC worked well, brkfst was fine.

“Terible customer service”

Bad customer service by the reception. I got the feeling they did not want a foreign traveler in the hotel. I never received a single good morning, good afternoon, or any such verbal greeting. I highly recommend you look elsewhere for a comfortable stay. For the rate/cost of this hotel the service should be much higher.

“One of Rio's finest”

The staff was very cordial and accomodating upon arrival and throughout our stay in Rio. Anytime that we needed anything, be it in the hotel or information about taxis, eating shopping, they were always ready to assist us. The morning breakfast were exceptional. The only complaint that we might have is that the beds were small and a little hard. The rooms were a nice size and very clean.

“Very Impressed!”

If ever in Rio again, would request this hotel.................

“Not fancy but gets the job done”

Some would say that this hotel is in need of a refurbishment. Indeed the countertops for all the furniture in the room were a dusty gray in color and it looked as if everything was covered with a layer of dust. But in reality the room was very clean -- no dust. The bed was very firm which I like. The bathroom fixtures were getting long in the tooth, but everything worked very well. No flushing problems, no leaks. And the shower was great -- very good flow, lots of hot water and stable temperatures. My room was very quiet. I heard no noise from the adjoining rooms except for a very faint sound when somebody flushed his/her toilet. My room faced a busy street but there was an inner set of windows to help quell the noise. The included breakfast buffet was quite satisfactory for me. Overall the food quality was good. It included scrambled eggs and bacon, but no chef to prepare omelettes or eggs to order. Two slight complaints about the breakfast service: the cloth table cloths were clean at 6AM but they had a few stains by the time I normally ate around 8:30 AM. And on several mornings, my coffee had a slight oily film on top. The free wireless wifi signal was a bit weak and unreliable in my room. When I needed reliability I carried my laptop to the second floor business center where the free wifi signal was strong and reliable. Overall I was quite satisfied with my stay. I would stay in this hotel again.
