Golden Tulip Continental - Rio de Janeiro

Completely disorganized hotel. They have 4 stars at the door, but probably barely deserve 2. The internet never worked properly. All of the computers in the business center were dysfunctional. I spend 3 nights, the first day nobody even cleaned my room. The reception hang up on me after I kept complaining about the internet. And my safe did not work […] either (no battery) Read more

Not the most impressive place Ive seen but it was fine

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I've stayed here several times before - most hotels in Rio are the same, I've posted similar comments on other hotels. This one is better than some, the surrounding neighbourhood looks a bit sketchy but is fine, just less convenient than others. What's really bad is the internet - even if you pay it is unusable, hence my comment about it being useless […] if you need to do business and be on-line Read more

The hotel staff was AMAZING!!! The staff was the BEST part of the trip!!! I would DEFINITELY stay at this hotel again and again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent hotel. Somewhat distant from the majority of restaurants and shops, but more peaceful near Leme rather than Copacabana. The neighborhood is a little run down but not enough to detract from an otherwise pleasant location.

The hotel staff was good in general and well prepared!The breakfast was also very nice with a variety of fruits,rolls,milk,tea,coffee and cakes!The toilet was stinking(urine) and it took two days to fix it(I told the reception and they tried to solve it right away).The clothes hanger was felty and it was unserviceable.After one week the room was full […] of dust,in the desk and bedside tables.The light in the toilet was very weak and yellow.The wall must be painted.One socket plug was burned.When you go to the lift the toilets smell is too strong and unpleasant!

Great location. One block from the beach. Good breakfast buffet, hot and cold items.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Room was small, not as clean as it should be. Very noisy hallway and street noise. Almost as if windows were open, but they were not.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful. Good selection at mealtimes. Beach one block away but good view from pool deck. Favourably priced.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The lobby is very nice but the rooms need to be updated. very old and a little smelly! room service was good though!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room smelled so awful I had to move to a different room that was slightly better. The floors were dirtily and the bathroom had some plumping removed and just capped off. Loud drinking locals outside thin windows at night and dogs barking in the morning. Took an extremely long time to check out.

My friends and I booked this hotel for our stay in Rio for the anual Carnival and we definately couldnt have asked for more! The staff were helpful even when you wanted to arrange city tours and ensured you reached your location safely. The transfers to the airport were readily available and cheap! The room was spacious and well decorated with a modern […] bathroom suite. The view from the rooftop (pool area), was beautiful! You could see along Copacabana Beach for miles! The breakfasts and lunches provided were really nice with a good range of foods and drinks and the staff were very helpful and accomodating. I would definately recommend this hotel to top off your stay in such a beautiful city! Read more

This hotel has great, super-friendly staff, fabulous breakfasts included, and a great location, just one block from the beach, in a lovely neighborhood. We had a great visit and recommend it highly.

This hotel by far is the best hotel in Rio. The poolside view n hotel staff are by far the best i have ever encounter. A definitely must stay for anyone

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed in this hotel during our Trip. It is located in a nice neighborhood. You can take the hotel umbrella and towel and take it to the beach. The staff was friendly and nice. Not every one speaks English. Only some in the reception spoke English. The internet was pricy but was able to use the 1 minute free service effectively for mails and basic […] browsing. The breakfast buffet is very good. did not use the swimming pool or sauna. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Internet is TERRIBLY slow, disconnecting all the time. It is stinky with mustiness in the corridors. The restaurant's staff don't speak English at all. When calling room service they ask to read the name of a dish in Portugese. Don't try the lunch buffet...

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is not a brand new construction but the staff keeps it reasonably well. The cleanliness is acceptable but not a cristal white perfectness as a critical client would expect. The hotel is quite tall, with a nice swimming pool on the penthouse surrounded by a bar and chairs. There's a fitness gym that works but the sauna was out of service being […] fixed, unfortunately. I'd say there are other better options than this hotel in Rio, for the same ticket price, with newer (or cleaner) construction and other addons, however I consider most the quality of service and in this case I'd say this hotel is better than many other fashioned competitors in the region (I experienced bad education in many newer hotels and for me that's a critical item to evaluate). I would be back to this hotel again, if Rio is full with few availability. Read more

Rio is very expensive city, do not expect 4 star quality here. Positive sides: good breakfast buffet, nice views from the roof deck.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is very old. The air conditioner did not work at summer time in Rio, had the worst night ever. Not worth it.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Location is good for the beach life, and to get to buses (also metro bus) to get around town and you can always find taxi driver outside and every driver knows where the hotel is so it was easy to get home. For nightlife and dinners you have to take Taxi or long walk. We stayed high up and surspisingly there where lots of small ants in the room, […] maybe it's normal for Rio but I was very surprised to see and live with them Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was good enough. I think the location is good only if you want to go to the beach and not bother with Copacabana. If you want that action, don't stay here. The rooftop pool was a major disappointment since they did un-announced maintenance and it was closed. Even when they finally opened it, the atmosphere was less than desirable. I think […] they could liven it up at happy hour or something...they are missing out on something there. The neighorhood was a little noisy and dirty too. But, the staff was helpful, it was clean, nice views and close to the beach. Oh, and the food at the restaurant wasn't that great, to be honest. Read more

Rio is very expensive. The currency exchanger is a ripoff. Credit cards can be used but not debit cards. Take lotsa of extra funds. Bank fraud and scams are the norm. The bay had four or more oil freighters in view always. Street vendors are everywhere and a pain to get rid of. Will not be back anytime soon.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Location of the hotel is good. It is near the Capacapana beach and is very closed to bus station and you can go to anywhere by bus. The smell of the hotel corridors are horrable but we are lucky that the room was not smellling like the corriodors. The bathroom was small but working properly and clean enough. I can not say that it was a very good hotel […] but I can say that it is ok to stay and it has clean beds and good hot water. Since they asked me if it was our first time in the hotel and I met many pilots and airline hostesses in the breakfast, I can say that there are many people regularly using this hotel, so they must keep their service standart.

Pluses: One block from the beach. Spectacular 360° rooftop and gymnasium views. Free breakfast buffet. Helpful staff. Clean room. Great price. Minuses: Some funky odors on some floors--maybe ventillation issues?; Our room was on the "mountain" side of the hotel and the windows weren't soundproof at all--even from the 16th floor you could hear street […] noise. You have to pay for WiFi. A long walk to the nearest metro station and bus stop, but it's doable. Read more

One block from Copacabana Beach. Swimming pool and rooftop bar recently refurbished. Comfortable but a little dated.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Extra pricy, pool, sauna and other facilities are in remodelation and it is not stated in the website. Rooms below expectations.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was one block away from the beach and had many great little shops around it. During our stay, the pool and gym were under construction which was unfortunate. The room was a little dated, but clean. I would recommend the hotel if you are looking at an inexpensive place to stay.

Staff were helpful and friendly. Check in quick and efficient. Helped with organising trips, finding buses etc. Rooms were cleaned everyday. We had a refurbished room on 18th floor. Very nice. The hotel was a nice hotel despite what people say about Rio hotels being old and bad. Only downside was noise in the mornings from nearby construction.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel served as a good starting place for my stay in Rio. It was close to the beach and also not far from major attractions. Great service and breakfast buffet.

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights during the carnival. All the prices were extremely high due to the carnival. Also the hotel was quite expensive but compared to other hotels reasonable. - Good location (next to copacabana beach). - Friendly staff - Clean and tidy

Good hotel, well located close to Copacabana, nice pool and pool bar on top floor (if needed, as Copacabana is a few footsteps close).

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

an average hotel, it served its purpose. my shower did not have a shower head, rather a pipe that splurged out water but the hotel was in a good condition and the room comfortable. not the best location; 15 minute walk from the nearest metro station.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is located one block back from Leme beach which is adjacent to the famous Copacabana Beach. The hotel is in a residential area which has great views from the roof top. The lift stops on the 18th floor and you have to walk the final 3 floors. The pool was being maintained during our stay so no swimming, they didn't advertise that either. […] Also, the gym equipment is very dated and some of the machines that have cables are broken so you can't use them. We found that the hotel smells something similar to damp, this smell is in reception and on our 12th floor although you don't see water anywhere. Whilst waiting for a lift on our floor the lights go out every 7 seconds so you have to wave your arms to trigger then back to life otherwise you stand in the dark. Breakfast is very good although the table mats are grotty and need replacing. The staff are really friendly, helpful and welcoming. The rooms are very basic and the price reflects this. Read more

All in all okay, but it is lacking a solid internet connection. That was just not existing, neither the free or paid version could delivere a firm and solid connection.
