Great location right in the middle of Copacabana. We stayed on the top floor facing the ocean (I would guess the view without the ocean facing rooms would be very disappointing). The room was nice, large bed, lcd tv, large bathroom. Not the most luxurious but certainly a good value. I'd recommend ensuring you get an ocean view. We had... more

There are 2 Hotel Astoria's in Rio which is confusing and having read the reviews of the other one, I think that the raves of that one probably relate to this hotel which is much better located i.e. actually on the beach rather than a street or two behind! We stayed here for a week last week and it was... more

Stayed as part of First Choice tour. Sited right on Cocacabana beach. We had no security issues whilst staying here, but were repeated warned to be careful by our tour guide. Check in was a farce. Took ages. Stayed on 12th floor. View was of some flats built behind the hotel. Room was small, no room to store cases. Mini... more

Pros: The hotel did respond quickly to our complaint when part of the ceiling fell into our shower!!! cons: The place was dirty. The cleaning women never changed our sheets! On a Wednesday afternoon, we had gone to the beach and we had gotten a bit of sand on our sheets. The sand was still there on Saturday!!! The hotel... more

This is a great hotel in the middle of Copacabana beach, just across the streat of the beach. The romms are spacious, clean, have jacuzzi, ocean view rooms have excellent view on the beach. Breakfast is very good, staff friendly and will give you excellent tips where to gou out, as well as safety advice. more

Stayed at the Astoria as part of a package to visit Rio. The hotel is very well placed across the road from the beach. Rooms are very small with no views. Very well appointed though with a great walk in shower, plenty of hot water and breakfast is good. Rio is not what I thought it would be. There are... more

My wife, a friend, and two other couples stayed at this hotel for four nights. There were four problems with this hotel, in ascending order: 1) Two rooms were unavailable at check in, because they had been flooded. Our friends were put into rooms at the Excelsior Copacabana Hotel a block away, which turned out to be a superior hotel.... more

Good quality city hotel across a busy road from Copacabana Beach. Small rooftop pool and sunterrace with beautiful views over the beach. Good central location for resteraunts, shops and bars. Decent breakfast. Jacuzzi bath in room. Internet available in lobby. The beach is floodlit at night, which is a nice touch. We felt very safe when we were in Rio,... more

The Astoria Palace is located at the northern end of Copacabana Beach enjoying great views of the beach and bay (if you get a front facing room). Check-in - We checked in with a large (30 approx) group, which was very tedious given the speed and number of lifts available. Rooms - Rooms were very clean and reasonably modern, although... more
