I was cheated by a travel agency promising that this hotel worth to pay almost USD1000 for 2 nights during the Rio Carnival. It was the narrowest room I have staid ever. (you have litteraly to squeeze your body through the room and the bathroom).

Stayed there for a week. Room was quite large with included kitchen and a good bed, but due to the thin walls and the non-fitting door it was sometimes really loud, even when somebody just walked down the floor and you always hear the traffic of Avenida Americas (six lanes). Pool and gym are more than okay. Breakfast offers limited... More

Booked on Hotwire, we were at the mercy of our budget. Still, things one should know: 1. the beach is a 30 minute walk by the side of a major thoroughfarE. 2. one way in and out of Barra Tijuca, and it is a 30 minute cab ride away from Leblon. With traffic, up to two hours. 3. The hotel... More

Despite requesting twin rooms when making the booking they ignored the request, despite e-mailing them 5 times they ignored the e-mails, was told on day of arrival that there where no twin rooms available. Why any Hotel acts in this way amazes me. Useless

The room was rather small with two... More

The people who are usually booked here are very decent and... More

The Promenade is a fine hotel with decent rooms, service, and location. My company selected this hotel because it is close to our offices along the Avenida Das Americas. However, the nearest beach, Barra da Tijuca beach, is a 15 minute walk, so this hotel might not be your first choice for a vacation. For business travel, I'd be happy... More

Rating 2, based on:- 1. There are small and big rooms. Big rooms are spacious, more than what 1 person needs. 2. TV has a set top box, so you can the audio of international channels to English 3. Breakfast was good for my taste. Plenty of breads & fruits 4. Security staff barely speaks English. So, if they will... More

It's far away from Rio atractions.Rooms are preatty small,but for a single person are OK. Guided Tours will not pick you up from Barra,so you have to go by yourself and meet them in Copacabana(Taxi is about 50 reals). Hotel is more 2 an a half stars maybe 3, but they pretend 4 stars.Always problems with the internet and it... More
