Had one of my worst hotel experiences here. The rooms are quite ok (though not 4 star quality), but the people who work there are either incompetent or rude! We arrived early in the morning, having traveled all night - and were given a room after a bit of a wait, since they had lost our reservation. We the asked... More

Hi! The hotel is very well located, that is all I have to say about this hotel. It´s like 2 blocks from Copacabana Beach. Very safe area. Frontdesk staff were nice. The rooms and bathroom are very old. Bathroom could be more clean. Wifi connection is not very good. Anyway, I have managed to get connected every day, sometimes only... More

This is a dated hotel but in a great location only two blocks from the beach. Our room was reasonable, spacious and comfortable. The service at reception varied depending on the individual. At check in the receptionist had no idea where the laundry was despite 3 within easy walking distance. I suspect he played dumb to ensure we used the... More

The hotel is in a good location close to the Copacabana beach. The bathroom is not well equipped and the wash basin tap is too close to the edge of the wash basin which means that every time you use it, the water will splash and the whole area round the basin will be wet through. The room cleaning is... More

I have stayed at this hotel when in Rio over the past several years, and watched it decay with increasing management and employee labor problems....When checking out in November of 2012 I was missing money from my bags while in storage waiting for a taxi to the airport....I advised one of the receptionists of the situation later and was advised...

The only positive point of this hotel is its proximity to Copacabna beach. So if the beach is your major interest then it might make sense. Tucked into one of the narrow streets with no great shops or cafes, it's rather daunting area to be in. Besides that the rooms are small and dank, the warm water in the bathrooms... More

The Copacabana Mar is a nondescript 13 story hotel in the heart of Copacabana. The hotel is located 2 blocks from the beach and it takes only a few minutes to walk there. There aren't any major shops of interest in the same street, but there is laundrette on the corner of the street if you prefer to save money... More

Is a good located facility, near beach and every thing in this area, for me better than Ipanema area. Very clean and affordable hotel, includes buffet breakfast, no big deal but ok. The staff is friendly and try help you in everything. Please don´t miss in Rio Plataforma Show is a must in the schedulle.
