I traveled in South America: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile. At hotels, the 4 stars are well below European levels. Another general problem: very poor internet connection. Watch your pockets in the street. They stole some things and money from hotel room (the suitcase unlocked). Otherwise, helpful staff, good breakfast and a good position to wander in Rio. More

This is one of the 45906287924 (many, many) hotels I have already stayed in Rio de Janeiro. It is not bad, as the staff is polite and atencious. If you know Rio de Janeiro, you know how unpleasant people can be in that city. The location is good, between Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, and close to the metro station "General... More

Luxe room did not even have space to walk around the bed. One of the smallest rooms I have ever seen for a double. Paper thin walls give you intimacy with your neighbors. None of what you see on the web site is correct except the wifi, which only works if you stay near the door. More

This is a hotel with excellent location, 30 meters from Copacabana and a small walk from Ipenama. Rooms are space enough, cleaned every day. There was a mini-bar in the room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast room on the 13th floor offered cold and warm breakfast which I found to be delicious. There are nice places to eat within... More

I am surprised by the more recent 'average' and 'poor' reviews on Hotel Portinari. LOCATION: Excellent location on the south end of Copacabana beach near the Copacabana Fort so convenient for both Copacabana and Ipanema. It is also near pharmacies and other stores for last minute things. Metro stations very close and recommend for travelling throughout Rio as it is... More

We chose this hotel based on value and reviews and found it to be a good basic hotel - while nothing was wrong with the hotel per se, it wasn't really a stellar design hotel. The rooms vary depending on the floor, and we stayed on 11 which was fine but nothing spectacular or inspiring. The staff was nice and... More

Location is the best thing about this hotel, but the description of 'designer quality and style' clearly does not apply to this hotel. The rooms all need a revamp as they are very run down, and we had lots of problems with things not working. This hotel sounds great but looks incredibly old and below standards. Breakfast is good though,... More

The name of the hotel certainly makes it sound very trendy. But it really isn't the case. Copacabana as a place is a lot of run down compared to Ipanema or Leblon. The lobby of the hotel is quite small. We were greeted by staff who were not very helpful, but not discourteous either. There was a bit of trouble... More
