I chose this hotel because of it's location to the cruise port. This was a mistake. When the hotel warns you to stay in the lobby until your taxi/uber arrives tells you about the area. Should have stayed in Copacabana. While i had a noisy fan in my room, i did enjoy my stay. Someone complained about the lack of english. While They should have their information manuals translated into English as it is the international travel language. (Just go to Tokyo to see the signs are in English). It is costing them revenue as i would have made some additional purchases if i knew some of the prices. As far as breakfast buffets go, it's okay. I hate when hot dogs are called sausages. While I loved the array of fresh fruit, I hated the ham and cheese sandwiches. i ordered soup for dinner and it was great. They serve it with a basket of garlic bread. I think that the practise of the waiters sharing the tip with the kitchen staff should be adopted every where. i doubled the service charge or tip because if the soup. I wish i could have tried the dinner biffet. The pool on the roof is very impressive and i enjoyed being up there.

Rooms are clean and the hotel is located near the sambadrome, which is convenient. Also breakfast is also very good and offers a lot of options. However, the neighborhood is really bad. A few patrons that we met during our trip got mugged twice right outside the hotel. We did the other Windsor in Copacabana for the most part and then this one and I can say that copacabana is a far better neighborhood to stay at. Taxis and Ubers are cheap here too. Will be avoiding Centro in the future unless to go to sambadrome.

The hotel was wonderful! It is in a neighborhood that is not safe for tourists. So I would recommend staying at this property if you are a confident traveler that speaks Portuguese. The staff was kind and did the best they could to communicate with us! Which, I am so appreciative of!

Convenient hotel in Rio downtown, needs a bit of renovation but space is good enough for a couple. Breakfast is very good and hotel staff friendly and prepared for the amount of guests as they have 400 plus rooms. Unfortunately the area around is not that safe but good means of transportation to other areas in Rio
