The staff in this hotel are exemplary; they provide the level of hospitality one hopes to find when traveling but is rarely truly experienced. The staff is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, multi-lingual, and just simply pleasant. How refreshing! Hiring exceptional people to deal with the international public is not done by accident: I commend your process and your selections.

I stayed at this hotel in March. The price and location are excellent. Right on Copacabana Beach (couple of hundred yards from the beach volley=ball stadium). Absolutely gorgeous view from the rooftop bar and pool area, Corcovado on one side and Copacabana on the other. The building itself has a 70s vibe, with good size.rooms. The bathrooms need to be...

My wife and i stayed at the porto bay twice (for 3 nights each time) during our recent trip to Rio. Little touches really do make a difference like personalised news depending on where you come from delivered under your door each morning. Free Wifi, free mountain bikes.
