Good location (3 mins to the Municipal Theatre and National Library and Cinelandia tube station). Dated (90s) deco. Pleasant rooms, with great bathrooms (marble etc.). Gym pool and rooftop bar are available but all are small/not particularly appealing. Agree with recent review that location next to Lapa (night life district for samba etc.) is fantastic. Away from beaches. Expensive. Breakfast... More

Thought the price of the room was a little high for what was offered. The rooftop view was nice, but the workout center was small and unappealing. The room was clean, but nothing too exciting. Location to Lapa is the best part and its nightlife close within walking distance. Helpful staff and speaks English. Breakfast buffet simple. You'll have to... More

Great room, service, rooftop pool and bar with views, security. Good location with easy metro/bus access to everything if you are ok with being away from beaches. Decent breakfast. More

We stayed here only a couple of months ago, and found the hotel to be good value for the money. We came back for Carnival 2012 and chose this hotel for its central location. This proved to be a very good choice, as Centro and Cinelandia are party central for Carnival. Massive gatherings happen just around the corner from the... More

Great location for carnivale if you like to party (near where many of the parties are but with good sound insulation) and the desk staff speak good English and are very helpful. Can't recommend this hotel enough - and can't understand why it's so cheap. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Other facilities were fine - breakfast was fine... More

My wife and I traveled with another couple to Brazil and Peru in July 2011. With only 1 night to stay in Rio we decided to stay at the Windsor Asturias. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was very cordial and easy to deal with. The breakfast was great. We didn't get much time to look around... More

My mother and I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We arrived early in the morning by an air france flight from Paris and the room wasn't ready for us. We went to beaches and came back around noon and were informed that the room was ready for us. The room was well decorated and comfortable. It's not big... More

I stay 5d at this hotel, I had a good experience there, clean room, good breakfast, good rate for exchange. I just want to comment about noise level at the rooms, you can hear everything even the elevator engine and the shower of the others, I remembered a travel in a military submarine. The other fact is the expensive internet... More

The Asturias is one of ten Windsor hotels in Rio, including three in centro, six in Copacabana, and one in Barra da Tijuca. This moderately priced hotel is in Cinelandia. It is very close to a Metro station, only one block from the financial heart of Rio in Avenida Rio Branco and but a short walk or cab ride from... More
