The hotel is very close to the four stars displayed in the lobby. It is very near to the Copacabana beach and to a big shopping mall where you can eat a decent and not expensive meal in a different restaurant every day. It’s clean: they clean the room and change the towels (good quality) daily’ The breakfast is diverse... More

First thing is first there is no free wi-fi no matter what it says on booking.com or trip advisor. The price at the time of our stay was 5R for 30min. The place was cold all the time as was the atmosphere, after coming in from 40 degree Celsius heat you are welcomed to a thermal shock inside the hotel... More

Hotel was much better than it looked like in the pictures. It's close to the beach, large rooms, good service, and a solide breakfast buffet. The pool is very small, but with a nice terrace on the 11th floor on the top of the hotel. The exchange office and supermarkets are close by, so is the beach, some 5min of... More

This hotel was an amazing value for my trip to Copacabana Beach for the big New Years Eve celebrations 2013. The staff was very professional. The room was beyond expectation. Very large room with a very large comfortable bed. Rooms were quiet even thought you are on a busy street. The hotel is just a short 2 block walk to... More

This hotel was chosen for me by my Brazilian distributor. Our rep in Rio lives in Copacabana so it was partly driven by his convenience. We arrived at the local Rio airport and took a taxi to this hotel (about 15 minutes). The location was superb. It was clear that this was Rio and that it was Copa as it... More

The hotel is in a busy street next to the tunnel to Botafogo, the walk to the beach is relatively short but I would not recommend anyone to do that at night, some dodgy dark corners do not feel too safe. The hotel must have been very majestic in the 40's, too bad that no one took the time to... More

The Merlin Copacabana hotel is located on the Avenida Princesa Isabel, which is very very busy and just near the tunnel connecting Copacabana and Ipanema to the center of Rio. But in my room on the back side, I had absolutely no problem of noise... The hotel is only some 200 m from the Copacabana/Leme beach. There are a lot... More

I stayed three nights in this hotel in connection with a business trip to Rio, and was very disappointed. You get twice as high quality for this price in many other hotels. The room is really outdated and totally lacks atmosphere. Stone floor, radio from the 1970's and lack of furniture. It was almost not possible to open your computer... More

The hotel is comfortable but dated in areas, clean and tidy but also a busy location. Breakfast is a wide variety of fruit and other things. Didn't really have the hot food, stuck with rolls and honey and coffee along with cereal. The traffic can be noisy so try and get a high floor.
