    Brilliant location good staff poor management

    rating23 Apr 2026

    This hotel has a superb location in the middle of Copacabana beach. The beach area opposite the hotel is great. The staff in the restaurants, pool terrace and on the beach were excellent however the management is poor. It feels like there is significant under investment and the staff are under supported. There were never enough staff on reception or cleaning and it took ages to get any query resolved and to check in. When we checked in the safe didn’t work - there were no instructions and turned out you needed 6 digits not 4 digits which was our guess. There was a kettle and coffee machine in the room but the plugs didn’t work with the room sockets. We were given an adapter but it didn’t work nor did the second adapter - finally I took the kettle down to reception and they found one that fitted after much queuing. The housekeeping was an issue - again not enough staff. Our room didn’t get cleaned on the first day til after 5pm despite arriving back at 4pm and requesting a clean. The same happened 2 more days and not all our towels were replaced however the room clean was good. Insufficient towels was something we heard other guests complain about. The reception staff promised to pass on requests about housekeeping, and trying to get an iron for the room was a challenge - nothing happened until requests were made more than once, sometimes 3 times. Shame as staff try their best.

    Ok except for reception staff.

    rating13 Apr 2026

    Everything was great except the reception staff who were very unhelpful, dismissive, disrespectful and arrogant when we asked for assistance after my mobile phone was stolen on the street. For this reason I won’t be recommending the motel as they left us feeling very stressed and frustrated! Sascha Hebel, Guest Services / Front Office at PortoBay Rio de Janeiro Hotel, responded to this review Thank you for your feedback.We sincerely apologize for your experience with our reception team, especially in such a situation. This is being addressed as a priority.We regret the inconvenience caused and would kindly ask, if you don’t mind, to share more details with me via email at saschahebel@portobay.com.br.Yours sincerely,

    A super hotel in a great location on Copacabana beach.

    rating11 Apr 2026

    We were recommended this hotel by Trailfinders. We weren't disappointed. There are only 122 rooms - we had a deluxe room with a side sea view and balcony on the 10th floor. The view was amazing, even though it wasn't a full sea view. The room and bathroom were a very good size and well equipped. Breakfast was an absolute treat - the range of fruit was spectacular. The waiters were fabulous and the food was beautifully presented. The roof top bar served great drinks and a great snacks menu. The views from the top of Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Mountain, were sensational. The staff were all friendly and helpful- especially the team on Reception. There are a few reasons why I didn't give the hotel 5 stars.- the hotel has only 2 lifts and when 1 broke down, I waited over 15 minutes for the second one. - maintenance was taking place in the hotel and we could hear the drilling on our balcony.- a tennis tournament was set up on the beach,across from the hotel. The hotel umbrellas were not separated from other umbrella sellers. We were constantly being bothered by sellers. Sascha Hebel, Guest Services / Front Office at PortoBay Rio de Janeiro Hotel, responded to this review Dear Julie,Thank you for your detailed feedback.We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our location, breakfast, rooftop, and the friendliness of our team, especially at reception. Your kind words are truly appreciated.At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the elevator issue and maintenance noise. Your comments have been shared with our teams for review and improvement.Regarding the beach situation, this was due to an international beach tennis competition, which required us to temporarily relocate our service approximately 100 meters to an area authorized by the city hall. Unfortunately, this was beyond our control. We also regret that you were approached by external sellers, who are not affiliated with our hotel.We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience.Yours sincerely,Sascha Hebel
