We stayed in this hotel because it was a great location and it was fairly cheap. Yes, cheap in everything. Do not expect anything great from this hotel, starting by the service of the people to the room and food. More

My travel companion booked this place without checking on Trip Advisor, so it's fair to say that our expectations were very low even before we arrived. However - having read the other reviews here, I can only presume that they are gradually improving the hotel and that (at the moment) different floors have different standards? Our ninth floor room was... More

We arrived in Rio late at night. Had a long cab ride along the coast, seeing beautiful hotels. We were dropped off at a hotel that apparently had ocean frontage, but we entered from the side. the place was a total dump from start to go. It looked like an inner city dilapidated low rent hotel. Cigarette smells, dark, dirty.... More

The hotel is well located, in the Copacabana's beach, in front of the sea. But it is very old, never been remodeled. The room is very simple and has a small bed. Our room was located in front of the sea, good view, but very noise, even in the 7th floor. The breakfast is one of the worst I've ever... More

My review is somewhat dated, as I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights in October 2007, but better late than never... I enjoyed Rio de Janeiro a lot, its beaches and picturesque sceneries! The hotel was so-so, and probably should get one extra point from me for a nice aerial vew from the restaurant. But I remember an obnoxious... More

It is fact that hotel " Debret" is far from the luxury. People expect more for the price they pay, but it is real fact that all hotels on Copacabana Beach are expensive independently of its quality. The location beats the traveler's pocket. I have carefully read the exposed reviews and I agree that hotel management should make significant improvements... More

This place is a dump in a very good location. The walls are paper thin and the smell of cigarette smoke permeates from other rooms. The first room they gave us: I counted 5 visible hairs in various places (shower, sink, linen, pillow). Made them switch to a different room because the next door neighbor's cigarette smoke smell was making... More

Stayed here for my final 2 nights of travels in South America. I was very surprised with the hotel being so run down, while situated on one of the best stretches of the Copacabana. The outside of the hotel speaks volumes of what to expect. Poor reception area, scruffy furniture, dirty carpets on corridors and grumpy staff. Just found the... More

This hotel sucks. If you are going in the summer and like A/C, do not go here. The rooms are very small, cheap, and the A/C is terrible. I had one request one week in advance when I made the reservations, to have a room with good A/C. Instead, they gave me a room with NO A/C as if it... More
