We first found the hotel by looking at Gate 1. They used this hotel in Rio. By the time we were actually going, Gate 1 didn't use the Savoy Othon anymore. I talked to the hotel personnel about it and they said they didn't know either. Many other groups from the US and other places did, however. My husband and... more

Hotel in great location (close to underground and 1 street from Copacabana beach, walking distance to Ipanema area). Good buffet style breakfast is included, staff speaks good English. It is 2 star hotel so don't expect luxury but basic clean rooms - view is poor as you face the building on the opposite street or building wall at the back.... more

When I look for a hotel, I usually don´t look for luxury since I usually only use it to sleep, but for me is very important the cleanliness and comfort mainly on the bed and pillows. I will start by saying the good things of the hotel, it is well located and the staff of the hotel is very friendly,... more

My friend and I stayed here for four nights. The rooms only have twin beds. The service was okay- they spoke English quite well, but were unable to give many recommendations of places to go/eat and things to do. They didn't clean our room the last two nights, even though we asked them to. We asked for a hair dryer... more

Stayed at the Savoy for 3 nights in mid April as part of a package deal. It's a very old, dark and unpleasant building. Our room was miniscule with an ancient bathroom. Our window opened up to face a loud, smelly courtyard. Therefore, when we were in the room, (which we kept to a minimum), we usually kept it closed... more

The Savoy Othon is rated “standard” and in many ways it is. The rooms are small but very clean. The view from our room was into another wall of rooms – we needed to keep out curtains closed. The hotel staff was perfunctory – not very helpful at all. It was the little things that were irritating; such as, not... more

Very cheap base to explore Copacabana beach and surrouding areas. 1 block back from seafront. No gym/pool but at the price I wasn't expecting it. Comfortable clean rooms - worth asking for the larger rooms as we got free room change on request. Safe and secure hotel. Good breakfast buffet which is included in the room rate. Would definately use... more

My wife and I got a great deal for our trip to Rio so we knew the hotel wasn't going to be 5 star. Our first impression wasn't bad as we entered the lobby. When we got to the room, we realized we couldn't compare this hotel to the hotels in the US. I have to admit I wasn't excited... more

Having never travelled to South America before, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Not exactly a luxury hotel, but for the price I wasn't expecting it to be. The location was great, a block from Copacabana beach and on the main bus lines to anywhere you could want to go in Rio. The room was fine, beds a little... more
