The hotel has great location and satisfactory room conditions. However, service is terrible and staff, including reception, speaks very little English and are rude offtimes. The only time the manager was nice to us was when he thought we will book the cultural show through him. Will try another hotel if I return to Rio. If possible, give this hotel... more

We should have learnt by now not to go to places with such mixed Trip Advisor reviews... but for the location and the price we thought we'd try it out. Pretty much everyone so far has nailed it - it's in a great spot on Copa beach but if we went back we'd probably go for either one of the... more

Me and my wife stayed at the Hotel Astoria Palace for our stay in Rio De Janeiro. Before we arrived i read some of the reviews about the hotel in this site. they ranked between not good and good. but i decided to take the risk and book it because it was write on Avenida Ataltica in front of Copacabana.... more

I have stayed two times in this hotel, and my girlfriend has stayed here many times for work when traveling. The staff is very nice and personable, and they have english speaking staff members. The location is very good in copacabana , just a short walk down to central copacabana oceanfront where all the activity is. The breakfast is always... more

Great room overlooking Copacabana. Worth paying extra for sea view. We were on 10th floor so noise from road below was not too bad. Great breakfast, great room, amazing shower, really helpful staff. Beach towels provided. Subway 2 blocks away and a great way to get to Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. Location not bad - good walk to... more

I picked this hotel mostly because of the beach front location; however, Copacabana has lost its attraction to Leblon or Ipanema. I would highly recommend tourists to stay away from Copa and stay in Ipa or Leblon. The room itself was fine, but there was no hot water even in the "deluxe" room. The hotel staff claimed that we were... more

We checked in late in the evening, having paid for guaranteed late arrival, only to be told by the supercilious desk clerk that our reservation had been canceled. He finally agreed to put us in a room with the caveat that it wasn't a very good room, but we--we!--would have to straighten out the reservation in the morning. He was... more

it was not a promising beginning when we arrived pre dawn and our requst for an early check in (made 3 months in advance) was denied (we were willing to pay, and if it was not possible we would like to have been told in advance) but the biggest problem was the attitude of the very unhelpful night manager who... more

Astoria Palace hotel is the newest hotel on Copacabana Beach in Rio. Ideally located a block away from Copacabana Palace Hotel it 's location can't be beat! Pay a little extra for the ocean-view rooms. Although small they're very clean and well-maintained. The A/C can be bit noisy if you're not used to window-a/c's. The breakfast is plentiful with fresh... more
