Have just returned from rio with my husband and son and my mother, the regente is a great hotel,in a great location the staff were all friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The air-con in our room was ok, but my mums' was a bit dodgy but a phone call was enough for maintenance to come and fix it.... more

We stayed in this hotel for 7 days in Oct 2009. The hotel is in a perfect location on Copacabana beach and its only about 10 mins walk to Ipanema beach. The rooms are small but pretty standard for this type of hotel. The air conditioning was good but very noisy. There was WIFI in the rooms but you had... more

We are actually at the hotel now. We depart in two days having arrived yesterday. We are the unwitting guinea pigs of a new internet provider service at the hotel.

The hotel was clean, the hotel staff friendly and helpful, but certainly some staff have a better comand of the English... more

Stayed at the Golden Tulip Regente for 6 nights over Reveillon (27/12-02/01). This is an inexpensive hotel in an excellent hotel if your choice is Copacabana over Ipanema. On arrival, the hotel appears cheap and the welcome from the sullen looking reception staff was far from warm and this is particular true of the concierge and the head waiter. Over... more

I believe hotels play a great role in the way you feel towards a city. We just came back from Brazil and I can say that staying at the Golden Tulip created a negative impression of the whole Rio. This Hotel is on the famous Atlantic Avenue overlooking the beach. However having came with a tour we were all given... more
