Rooms on the small size and rather minimalist, but quite adequate. We could sit on our small balcony at night and see the beach, Christ the Redeemer and Sugar loaf so an excellent location. Copacabana is a touch tawdry and the sex industry in all its guises was quite obvious, but nevertheless our short stay in Rio was very comfortable... More

We have just returned from 3 days in the Porto Bay hotel. Our room was fantastic-great views over copacabana beach and very comfortable. The staff were so helpful and accommodating -nothing was too much trouble and they enhanced our stay considerably. More

We have been at the hotel with our kids. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The restaurant have a splendid view over Copacabana beach, and the hotel is in an excellent location! The staff was very kind and helpful, i.e.there was one day an urgent mantainace problem with the swimming pool and the manager was so kind to give... More

Liked the hotel nice rooms lovely rooftop pool and bar. Breakfast had everything you could ask for and again the service was good with attentive staff. Free sunbeds on the Copacabana with lovely sands and sights. The only downside and it is not the hotel's fault is that in the evening the area is populated by prostitutes which makes you... More

We loved this hotel, had 2 nights , from our side room balcony we could see the beach and the christ the redeemer statue, if you can afford it get afront suite. glass of champagne on arrival.

We stayed here because we wanted to be in the thick of action on Copacabana. Location: at the end of the Copacabana strip, next to Copacabana Palace Hotel. There is a delicious chicken restaurant on the lane next to the hotel, a few buildings down, definitely worth a visit or a few! We walked to the night market which was... More

Stayed for our honeymoon in January, booked this hotel because of the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, in fact we went through 3 tour operators specifically so we could book this hotel so had high hopes! Have never left anything but positive reviews for anywhere we've stayed or eaten so this is a first but feel we must be honest... More

I paid around £150/night for this hotel in high season, and although Brazil is generally quite expensive, on reflection feel that the value isn't quite there. The main positive for us was the great location, but what I was less happy with was the very closed in feel to all of the rooms and shared areas in the hotel due... More

I had high hopes for this hotel, based on the TA reviews to date. The experience didn't live up to them, but it was fine. I chose it over Hotel Arena because of the help on the beach - there isn't a separate area but Copacabana is a massive beach so there is space for everyone. What they do is... More
