Stayed overnight in Mid-March. Found a very decent hotel. Clean room, well equiped with modern TV set, roomy wardrobe and king size bed. Bathroom needed some painting, but is clear (thought that the window was too large), and had all necessary soaps, combs and shampoo. Fare was below average due to my company´s corporate rate. Restaurant is quite simple, no... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for our honeymoon and it was a very bad experience. We encountered insects in the hotel. The air conditioning leaked badly. The service in the restaurant was very, very poor. The room was small. The elevator was broken 1/2 of the time. The staff spoke very little English. The staff did not... More

This hotel is miles outside the centre of Rio and takes a good hour to reach from the international airport. We found it very difficult to find any staff who spoke any english so asking for information on the area, or an iron for my room was nigh on impossible. The rooms are a good size but no more than...

The hotel has big rooms and a good breakfast, and it´s well located if you´re in Barra to do business. Nevertheless, that´s beside the point. What matters the most is that I forgot a Rolex on top of the safebox and they gave it back to me! I mean, I realized that I had lost the watch 14hs after I... More

This hotel is located pretty far from major attractions in Rio (count for one hour drive in a taxi) in a residential area of middle to high income population, so very safe. Rooms are spacious, big enough for two adults and a child, with small balconies. Personel is well trained to perform their duties. Breakfast is very good. Small swimming... More

The hotel has good size rooms and well appointed. Nothing fancy or special, just plain, tasteless but decent decoration. As for the rest of the services, they are below average but in line with Rio de Janeiro in general which is distinctive for the poor quality of its services and personnel. Internet was out 2 out of 3 days, and... More

Promenade is a very good hotel, big room, good service and staff, but far away from downtown. It is located in a high class neighborhood, and the region is quiet, clean and beautiful, breakfast is excelent. If you want to go to the beach you have to take a ticket in the reception, a mini golf vehicle to get in... More

There are few good hotel options in Barra da Tijuca with "reasonable" prices, even for the Rio standards. Stayed in Promenade for one night only during a business meeting. The staff was just ok and the room, despite of big and spacious, is also just ok. I didn't have breakfast, just lunch at the buffet restaurant which was good! Sure... More

This hotel is modern and clean with a good breakfast and a lovely pool. I had reason to stay in Barra but if you are a tourist go to Ipanema. There is no reason to stay further away from the main attractions but on saying that the beach in Barra is nicer, cleaner and hassle free compared to other beaches... More
