This hotel is by far one of the best in Rio. The location, breakfast and service are outstanding. This was probably a 5 star hotel one day but it may need a bit of renovation today. That does not mean you will stay at a shady hotel, for the price that you pay here you get excellent value for money.... More

The breakfast at the hotel was good in that it presented a variety of selections. Dinner at the hotel was fair, but did not command a return visit. The bar service and offerings were adequate. The view from the balcony is great. The front desk staff was helpful. The housekeepers were courteous and professional. The property maintenance technician was diligent.... More

Well - taht's contrast program ... either you feel drawn back to former socialists times or you just recognize that they don't need to care customers as they are lining up to have a stay at Copacabana ... the service very much depends on the person in charge and ranges from lousy to excellent ... breakfest is better to avoid...

I stayed at the California Othon Classic for 4 nights over NYE. After reading some of the reviews, I went into our stay a little skeptical, but as one reviewer mentioned, it isn't a 4 star hotel, so your expectations should be tempered. Overall, I was satisfied with our stay. The lobby is beautiful, as is the dining room. The... More

We stayed here for 4 days and had a great stay. The hotel is indeed older, but it didn't really show in our room. It does show on the elevators though. We did get stuck once, so people with a disability or that are older might want try another hotel or a lower floor. If you have good legs though,... More

construction works in progress so the environment is quite noisy. old and rusty bathroom facilities. wifi is free only in the lobby. breakfast ok. tried to overrcharge the reservation by invoking an extra local touristic fee. droppped the claims after insisting that the reservation price was different.

It's incredible that Othon Hotels allow this establishment to use its name. Dirty and smelly rooms and bathrooms was not the worst... I was given an occupied room! Imagine how I felt when I've opened the room's door and found a person inside. I've asked someone to help me with the television and nobody came despite the promise that somebody... More

Stayed there two nights because there were no other hotels available. My room was small but it had the basic necessities - bed, toilet, shower. I would not recommend to stay at this place unless is a last resource. The beach is right in front, which is convenient, but other than that the room was plain an the bathroom gross.

This hotel is extremely old, the elevators do not work, the check in line is long and bathrooms have ants and the place just smells horrible. Trust me I travel many times and this is truly the worst place. I never ever write reviews and I took extra efforts so that no one got trapped here as I did as... More
