The Lancaster Hotel was my first hotel in Brazil over 25 years ago, and I return again and again. In all that time, I have found the staff to be polite, courteous, professional and friendly. The Lancaster has a great location, fantastic views from very large balconies. The room are spacious and clean. The staff in the breakfast lounge are... More

In March 2013, we 3, couples stayed at this hotel for 4 nights at the end of our 18 day South America tour. Hotel looks ordinary from entrance but when we went to our 10th floor room, and when entered the balcony, we were awe struk. The view of the Copacabana beach was fantastic.The front desk staff was very helpful... More

Spent 3 days there recently.The hotel is located on the beach with good view and offers easy access to many public transportation,which,unfornately, are the only 2 selling points.Otherwise, everything else is worn and cheap--the air conditioner might be a 30 years old junk roaring all night without producing much cool air;the toilet has to be flushed couple of times at...

The location of this hotel is a good location in Copacabana, but the hotel is awful. The service we received was not friendly or helpful. The room was big and spacious, but the carpet, furniture, and bed were all old and dirty. The linens were dirty as well. Overall this is a poor hotel and I would not come back.

The rooms are a decent size with great views of Copacabana, but Dark walls, small bed, ridichulous bathroom, dirty door, run-dow elevator. The hotel is very badly in need of refurbishment and the rooms and towels were well worn and looked dirty.

Lets start from the good The location is on the beach of Copa Cabana. The service was very friendly and helpful, price include breakfast and the price was very reasonble for the area. The bad... the room reminded me of my grandparents apartment from 20 years ago from almost every aspect (and not in a good way) only my grandparents... More

The most important piece of advice I can offer is “DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL”. It is truly ghastly. But first to be fair, the location is terrific and the rooms are a decent size with great views of Copacabana. However after that it is all downhill. The hotel is very badly in need of refurbishment as all the... More

Stayed there one week. Location is the biggest value of the hotel. The room equipment is quite old but sufficient. Air conditioning in the rooms was very noisy and I am not sure if it was really working. I had view to a smelly yard with noisy air conditionings so I strongly recommend you to take a room with view... More
