This is not a 4 star hotel, it is really old, no renovation in years, the furniture spliting apart. At our first room the air condioner was not working properly, second the room, there were 2 single beds pushed together. But the real problem was my notebook stolen from my room, after that people start to hide from us. I... more

This place is bad, bad, bad, it is an incredible source of stress. I stayed for 5 days and there was no single day that went smoothly, nothing in this hotel is straightforward, everything is trouble. I was travelling with 2 friends and we had booked a single room for each of us. When we arrived they simply told us... more

Surely not a 4 star Hotel . Rather old hotel with average rooms. The location very good. The stuff ok. The gym is not really a "gym" but a small Fitness room equiped with 2 treadmills and one old weights machine. Good buffet breakfast. Bottomline : for the 70eur for twin room we paid (low season) was ok I guess. more

I was disappointed with this hotel that is rated as 4 stars. May be the lobby more or less fits into this 4 star description, but all above it, especially rooms, is very poor. My room was located in front of the elevator on the 6th floor, and I could hear every bell that rang when lift stopped at my... more

We transferred to this hotel for the last five days of our holiday in Rio and we were very impressed by the hotel lobby/reception on arrival - it was busy/friendly and from previous experiences of hotels in Rio this was thankfully what we were looking for. Hotel room was a triple - on the 11th Floor and clean - bathroom... more

Back in Rio after staying in Petropolis, Buzios and Angra, it was lovely to return to the Royalty. The hotel is well located in the heart of Copacabana, and is very good value for its 4 star quality. Everything is close by; the beach, bars, restaurants and shops. the quietest rooms are on the higher floors at the rear of... more

Hotel is in a good and safe location. I can't believe it's a 4 star hotel though. It's grotty and poorly maintained, and full of rather strange (and unpleasant) smells. On the plus side, the breakfast is simple but good (lots of fresh fruit) and the reception staff are helpful and nice. The main advice I must give is that... more

Yes, it seems like a good rate for a four-star hotel, but don’t be fooled by internet pictures and false promises. The Royalty Copacabana Hotel is a rundown hotel with a decent location (if you want to stay in the Copacabana area that is). One of the few highlights was André in the reception. He really tried his best to... more
