10/10 Excellent
My stay at Miramar by Windsor Copacabana was outstanding. The staff was professional, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel warm and personal. The restaurant was a highlight of my trip — breakfast was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to start the day, and dinner in the evening was just as memorable, both for the food and the atmosphere. Truly a beautiful hotel with excellent service.

Best place to stay in Rio! Breakfast was perfect and the rooftop view was outstanding. Via the concierge, we booked a tour to see Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf and it was well worth every Rial!

I stayed at Ipanema Inn for a few nights during a solo trip to Rio and would stay again if I’m back. From check-in to assisting with booking any tours/tickets/dinner reservations Fred at the front desk was always so helpful and greeted me by name every time he was there. Fred made it so easy to plan my adventures, helped with suggestions anytime I needed, was very responsive on WhatsApp when I was out exploring Rio, and spoke great English which helped my lack of Portuguese. The rest of the...

The staff was great. The breakfast was very good and servers very nice and attentive, especially Sergio.
Marcela at the front desk was exceptionally helpful.
Very nice view from pool and deck above.
Standard rooms are quite small.

Exceptionally well located in the trendy neighborhood of Leblon, only 3 minutes from the beach. Great shopping and restaurants abound in the area. Staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. Breakfast was very generous, and good quality of items.
Room was clean, comfortable, however quite spartan, but this is what to expect in an Apart hotel. Obviously the price is as expensive as anything in Rio.

The hotel was really nice inside and the staff was helpful. The room was pretty big (it even had a little antechamber) and I had a very nice view of the city from the 10th floor. The bed was a bit hard, but that's just how beds are in Brazil so come prepared for that. The best part of my stay though was the breakfast. So many different kinds of bread, waffles with chocolate sauce, fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, sausage, bacon, and four different types of fruit juice. It was a FEAST.

My wife and I recently spent 5 nights at the Fairmont Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, and we enjoyed our stay. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival by the bellmen Rogerio, Jose Carlos, and Mauricio.
Our check in was very smooth with Carol, who was wonderful. She was able to get us an early check in. Additionally, she arranged an early check in for my elderly brother’s early morning arrival the next day for a half day fee. His actual check-in was with a different person, and was fairly...

Great location right across from the beach and in proximity to the shops and restaurants of Ipanema. Close enough to walk to Leblon as well. Hotel guests get umbrellas and chairs at the beach included with your stay. Breakfast is included. The restaurant is fantastic for dinner also. Friendly hotel staff that speak English well. Room is not the most updated but who travels to stay in their room?

I have been staying here when visiting Rio since 2003! The convenience of being near Arpoador, where Copacabana meets Ipanema, and being able to easily walk to either beach or neighborhood is perfect. Breakfast is varied, fresh, and has my fave Brazilian staples (fruits, ‘french’ bread, eggs and of course coffee.) Front desk and cleaning staff are lovely, and I always feel safe and in good hands there. Can’t wait for a chance to go back

I am a frequent, older, solo traveler. This was country #55 for me, so I have had a lot of experience with foreign accommodations.
I found the Vermont to be basic, but spotless, well-maintained, and having most of the virtues I look for when traveling. I am a heavy WiFi user for work. WiFi was fast, if not super speedy, and varied in speed while on it. But I was able to accomplish my work with two VPN's to the U.S. My solo room was lacking a dresser, but had a large closet with a couple of...

Yoo2 Rio felt like our home for 12 days in Rio and simply enjoyed everything! I can say that our hotel room offers one of the best views in Rio! And what do I have to say about its hospitality service? The manager, Nathalia, greeted us warmly and her team promptly helped us with any request that we needed! Big thanks Nathalia, Larissa and Vanessa and her team at the restaurant.
Overall, we loved our stay and all the amenities especially rooftop area!! Thank you Yoo2 Rio for a wonderful stay!

My son and I spent 22 days here enjoying all the football, foot volley, Açaí, Roxy, Marcacana tour, Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches, Christ the Redeemer, Urca Mountain, Sugarloaf, Lapa Steps, Roxy, Brazilian culture and more! The hospitality and helpfulness of the desk speaking Spanish, English, and Portuguese was awesome. Housekeeping kept our stay clean! Thank you for sharing your country!

Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort
Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & ResortVidigal
10/10 Excellent
The Sheraton in Rio can be rated “top location” and “worst location”.
Its location is unique, no other hotel in Rio has a private beach and views like the Sheraton has, absolutely the best.
However, it’s surrounded by a favela, you simply shall cannot walk anywhere, nowhere, from the hotel, due to its dangerous and high crime neighborhood.
If you don’t mind catching a cab for just about everything, then I’m confident to say you won’t regret staying at the Sheraton
