"Great alternative hotel in Copacabana"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
Like most Windsor the staff are great, friendly, and helpful. Most speak English. The breakfast buffet has a good variety of food but it's certainly not at the level of Windsor Atlantica. The rooms are a bit dated but clean and they're certainly better than other 3.5 star hotels in the area. On the other hand, the bathrooms are rather spacious. It's in a good location right on the border of Copacabana and Leme, though not facing the beach it's about a 5 min walk. I prefer Windsor Atlantica, but this is a great alternative to the 4 and 5 star hotels if you want to save a bit of money.
"Excellent Hotel Staff. A really good hotel !"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
Pros: Excellent Front Desk Staff. They all courteous, speak english and very helpful to your needs. Room service is great. Unless there are people ahead of you for service Good value for money. Good Amentities. Cons: Breakfast buffet is okay little expensive Room service menu is strictly ok. compared to hotels in US. Location is strictly ok. There is a shop opp the hotel but no restaurants,pharmacy, convienence store etc close by. It isn't a happening neighouborhood. It's kind of far from the Mall and other parts of the city.

"Convenient location Gloria subway station nearby"
The hotel staff spoke English and were very helpful. The bathroom was quite small but the hot shower was most welcome!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Tiny bathroom slow housekeeping"
If you return to your room before 6 p.m., your room may not get cleaned, which is unacceptable. The bathroom is tiny. It is virtually impossible to move in or out without falling into the toilet because the door gets in the way, unless you are spider man. When you use the tiny sink, water spills on the floor. When you take a shower, the floor gets wet […] because the shower door does not keep the water in. Basically, the floor is wet and you try not to fall into the toilet.

"Hotel Monte Castelo - Helpful and handy but..."
Small room and very small bathroom, you just about have to sit on the toilet to close the door - and I am not saying that because I have a large bottom. Honestly. The shower itself is fine though. Close to Gloria metro, useful to get to Copacabana and Ipanema, metro is safe and easy way to get around (get a pre-pay card, works out just over £1 a […] trip, regardless of distance) Rooms can be very noisy as sound echoes up through the open centre - if someone drops a spoon on the tiles below everyone hears it. Strange design. Breakfast is limited, watery juice - pity as Brazil has fantastic juices - Acai is heaven on earth when done properly - cold meat, bread and cheese and usually water melon or guava. DIY Toasted sandwich maker does help. Very helpful reception. All our tours (booked from England) were late and disorganized - Gray Line via City discovery were particular bad. Booked in English but you have to ring them the day before your trip to confirm and they don't speak English. Cost me a fortune in mobile phone costs - almost as much as the tour - before the guy at the hotel reception sorted it out. Tour was then late. Better, quicker and cheaper to just make your own way to and from the attractions, which is pretty much all Gray Line does for you. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Monte Castelo Rio de Janeiro"
Small and friendly budget Hotel situated near Glória metrostation. Walking distance to city centre through interesting Lapa street. This is a good option if you don´t demand luxury and are more interested in exploring the city.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very basic hotel but central location"
The hotel is basic as is the accomodation. The surroundings can be a bit dodgy although we never experienced any issues. It is close to some excellent venues for nights out (lapa) and the tube for transport. Several attractions are nearby including the mosaic steps seen on many a music video. Rooms are basic as is breakfast but suits the purpose. Some […] staff can speak very good English. Generally they are helpful and polite but they did not seem to have too much tourist type knowledge - I believe most of their customers are Brazilians. Good budget hotel with good location - I think that summarises this place. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Monte Castelo, Rio de Janeiro"
A great small hotel for the money with helpful, friendly staff. Clean room with small but adequate shower room/ toilet. The corner basin is tiny but other than that everything is fine. Easy to use safe for documents etc. I enjoyed the character of the hotel. A pleasant self service breakfast room at the back of the hotel offers a selection of cheese, […] cold meat, bread & coffee/ tea. - very good if you can get up in time to take advantage. Great position for exploring Rio! I would not hesitate to stay here again. I loved the neighbourhood too but it's not like Ipanema or Copacabana. ;¬) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel limpo, bom local, café da manhã simples, mas agradável.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"razoável a comodidade."
Boa. O café precisaria melhorar.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Custo-benefício"
O ponto forte deste hotel é a sua relação custo-benefício. É um hotel limpo e bem organizado, mas pequeno e sem muito luxo. Vale muito a pena para quem precisa apenas de um lugar confortável para dormir. Um ponto negativo é a falta de coordenação entre o hotel e o hoteis.com para antecipar a data de chegada da minha reserva; fui obrigado a fazer uma […] reserva adicional.

"Bom custo beneficio, bo alocalização."
Hotel pequeno e antigo, tem como principal qualidade sua localização, ao lado do Centro e do bairro de Santa Tereza. Tem uma estação de Metro bem perto facilitando o passeio pelo Rio. Quartos são basicos, cama casal estreita, ar funciona bem e wi-fi gratuito. Banheiro apertado, mas deu p usar sem grandes problemas, agua quente sempre diponivel no chuveiro […] e pia bem pequena. Pelos caros valores que se pagam no Brasil para o turismo, esse hotel é uma boa opção de custo-beneficio. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"dont book this humid hole. web pix are lying"
That the hotel lies I a dodgy street full of prostitutes is fine. But the website oversell it as small colonial hotel. Only three rooms has windows to the street. The other 50 40 or so are first or second level underground with no daylight. Don't go J and P CopenhagenGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Satisfatório porém limitado"
Hotel satisfatório, boa localização (prox. a Lapa, Aeroporto e Metrô praticamente na porta). Porém café da manhã limitado e as toalhas não tem condições de uso. Cheiro muito forte de alvejante.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A éviter !!"
Si comme nous vous êtes placé dans une chambre en sous-sol, évitez absolument cet hôtel ! Il est cher, la chambre n'est pas très propre et est minuscule. Le seul atout de cet hôtel est son emplacement. A évitez donc.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bom e barato."
Bom atendimento, quarto em boas condições, amplo e confortável pelo baixo custo. Ficou devendo apenas nas toalhas de banho, que nunca estavam perfeitas, acabei comprando uma nas amercanas bem perto. Localização excelente para quem já tem costume de andar de metrô no Rio, e táxi na porta o tempo todo, se não tiver nenhum, a recepção chama na cooperativa. […] Recomendo para pessoas simplesm, que queiram praticidade com economia. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Estadia bem localizada"
Estadia tranquila, quarto limpo, arejado, ar condicionado funcionando, ducha quente, cofre funcionando, cobertas limpas, boa recepção. Ótima localização, tendo próximo supermercado, farmácia, restaurante, metro e em frente um ponto de táxi. A única reclamação é quanto ao cheiro das toalhas de banho, cheiro de água sanitária.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The room is expensive and really bad condition"
Hotel's a room is underground and small.. The air inside is very stuffy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Ficamos hospedados no Hotel Monte Castelo durante 3 dias, chegamos no dia 21/09/2012 ( Sexta ) e saímos dia 24/09/2012. Quando cheguei de cara gostei do bairro e do Hotel. Perto dos pontos turísticos que eu visitei. Ah, também do centro da cidade e dos Museus, Arcos da lapa, do Metro, da estação das barcas para ir ate ao Mac em Nitéroi. Os Funcionários […] são muito educados, eles me deram várias dicas da Cidade. Limpeza tanto do quarto quanto do Hotel nota 10, qualidade do serviço, comodidade, localização do Hotel nota 10. Há táxis na porta do Hotel 24hs. Breve voltarei ao Rio e com certeza ficarei mais dias neste Hotel. Parabéns a toda equipe do Hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ótimo custo_benefício."
O hotel têm uma ótima localização perto do centro, metro, ponto de táxi. A Lapa e o bairro de Santa Tereza ficam pertinho, fomos a pé durante o dia conhecer os Arcos da Lapa, muito lindo. O que achei que podia melhorar é o café da manhã e a roupa de cama e as toalhas não eram trocadas todo dia. Porém, o bom atendimento superou estes contratempos. Adorei […] a conveniência da Internet livre e o cofre que podiam ser utilizados sem custo adicional. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Einfach, abgewohnt, hellhörig - trotzdem ok!"
Sehr einfaches Hotel. Das wussten wir aber vorher, denn zu diesem Preis ist es kaum möglich, eine gute Unterkunft in Rio zu bekommen. Frühstücksraum klein, Frühstück ok. Lage ist ebenfalls ok, da zu Fuß, per Metro oder mit dem Bus alles bestens und schnell erreichbar ist. WLan im gesamten Hotel ohne Gebühren! Fazit: Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis passt. […] Für einen Kurzaufenthalt bis zu 3 Tagen würden wir jederzeit wiederkommen. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Boa escolha"
Muito bom Hotel, ao lado de um ponto de táxi, estação de metrô (estação Glória), mercado e farmácia com caixa 24h. A única queixa é o tamanho da pia do banheiro, que era tão pequena que molhávamos tudo quando lavávamos o rosto. De resto, só elogios.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel simples mas tem o necessário. Boa localização no centro do Rio de Janeiro, ao lado do metrô Glória. Fui muito bem recebido. Quarto limpo, cama e travesseiros bons, chuveiro bom e ar condicionado funcionou normalmente. O café-da-manhã é bem simples, mas é o suficiente. Recomendo para quem vai ao Rio para ficar 2-4 noitesGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Simplicidade"
O Monte Castelo é simples, porém funcional. Não conta com uma estrutura de um grande hotel, mas o quarto onde fiquei foi confortável, internet de boa velocidade. Próximo existem mercados onde é possível comprar alimentação e é perto do metrô. Excelente para quem quer resolver outras coisas e usar o hotel para repousar. O atendimento é muito bom.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
