This famous beach is also the widest beach in Rio. Throngs of bikini- and Speedo-clad locals and tourists take in the sun, as well as a round of beach soccer and volleyball. Copacabana Beach is a popular venue for concerts and a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration where partiers wear white for good luck. The glitzy shops and cafés along Avenida Atlântica provide a welcome respite from the heat.
see all hotels in Rio de Janeiro"Overpriced"
Locarion is convenient, hotel is located off of Copacabana beach. Rooms are subpar, beds are uncomfortable, shower is good with substantial pressure. Tours are offered with the hotel with the reception. Staff was helpful, however tours are over priced and you are much better off speaking to the tour company directly. This will save you 30%.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Best deal in town."
The staff could not have been more attentive and helpful. Amazing location. Would definitely go back.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good location"
Disappointed in condition of room. Decor was "tired" and needed updating. Carpet stained. Room lacked color and freshness. View was great, and location very good, but room though large, was not appealing.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Disappointing for Property with So Much Potential"
This is my second time staying at this hotel. My first stay was exactly 2 years ago when the hotel was under different management. The change in management has not inproved the hotel. The good things about the hotel first - The location is excellent. Centrally located on Avenida Atlantica midway along the Copacabana beach - very convenient to everything […] and easy to get a taxi to other parts of Rio. The ocean view from the room is great! The hotel has good bones - nice classic architectural details - spacious lobby with ample seating for leisurely relaxation outside of the room. The not so good things - The hotel is showing wear and there is no indication that anything is being done about it. There is an unsightly section of the lobby that is draped in a plastic construction cover - who knows what's behind that. The room itself was spacious enough, but the horribly stained carpet, worn drapes, and unattractive bedding made it feel like a cheap motel room. Simple changes to the carpet, drapes, and bedding would make a huge difference. The bathroon is a very nice size although it could use some updating. I would love to stay at this hotel again, but I will look for other oprtions on my next visit unkes, there are some updates. The cost is too high for the property condition. Also the restaurant food quality could stand improvement. The steak I ordered for dinner my first night was the worst cut of meat I've ever had. I hope the hotel turms all of this around.

"Don't even try it"
Cost/benefit is absurd, rooms and bathroom are so small you can't walk around the bed. For the cost of this hotel you should definitely try Ipanema hoteles betterGenuine Expedia guest review

"Perfect Location"
We had a wonderful 10 nights at Olinda Rio. No complaints. The hotel staff is very friendly and they spoke good english. The rooms were clean and the location can't be beat. It's right in the middle of Copacabana. I highly recommend this hotel, you will not be disappointed.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Top notch staff and location but needs renovation"
Staff was amazingly helpful with all issues, reminiscent of top hotels. Location was very central in the Copacabana district and directly across from the beach. Breakfast spread was the best I had in Brazil. Only issues were the hotel is rather 'dated' - one wall of my bathroom and one wall of the shower appeared to be particle board or something and […] basically put there as a temporary measure. Also the elevator was basically broken (kept stopping on the 6th floor and not moving). And my room was rather small...outside of the double bed there was very little space, it felt very 'European' in that regard (laughably small desk setup, and had to nudge bed aside to be able to open the closet door). I guess the rate was fair in comparison to the other options in the area, but that was only after I had gotten an early booking discount on Expedia. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"rio hotels"
Good value and a very pleasant hotel. Food excellent and staff very friendly. rooms are a bit small, and can be on the dark side. Wireless is not that strong but overall a good choice if you don't want to pay Marriot prices. well situared on the beach with lots of amenities nearbyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel!"
Olinda Rio surpassed every expectation. The hotel is in a great location, the staff is friendly, the breakfast was great, and the rooms were very clean! I would definitely come back to stay at Olinda Rio!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not the best- go somewhere else"
The hotel is working on making improvements, i will say that. However, our first day, our AC starting leaking. The AC is located in the ceiling next to one of the beds, not outside a window like most AC's usually are. We called the front desk 2x, with the promise a tech would come up to check it. We left our room, after we were told that they would […] fix it, and there already was a huge wet spot next to my bed. Between the wet carpet and the humidity, the smell was unbearable. And you couldn't open the window seeing as they are very old and if you did manage to open it, good luck trying to close it- very rusty. By the time we returned (approx 10pm) the AC was still leaking. Finally, after 2 more calls, the tech came up and had to use a bucket to remove all the water that was just sitting up there. Even more smelly. The hotel definitely needs a face lift. The breakfast was good and their front desk was helpful with questions we had. Only issue was the AC. The hotel is also about 5 blocks away from the train station, in case you decide to use public transportation. I wouldn't stay here if I had to again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"The price is on the average but the room is small"
It's too close to Copacabana beach ... However the room was too small.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location and hotel for the price"
This hotel is right on the beach. The wifi was free and reached the beach area; which was good since the additional costs of sorrounding hotels were ~$20 a day, but bad since it was very slow during busy times (anything after 5pm-1am). The service was great (they let us check-in early and were very helpful when we had questions). The free breakfast […] was great, just a little crowded. The tv was a fairly new flat screen and the mini-fridge had a lot of space for my groceries. The only glaring drawback was a broken AC. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"old hotel"
March 9 to March 11. Checked out Mar 12. Room 702, looking to the beach. Good view, but noisy even window is closed. Her name is classic, therefore everything is old, 80 year old. Furniture is bunky, television is old, shampoo and conditioner are of lowest quality. Shower only, no plug to hold water for a bath. Toilet is slow and you have to hold the […] flush button to flush. Elevator is small and dark. Carpet of the hallway is old. Breakfast is so so. To conserve the electricity, every day after the room is cleaned and made up, the power is turned off, therefore, the clock is off too and the room is hot when I return. The entrance to the hotel has steps and there is no good way to take luggages inside by yourselve. Her staff helps taking them in and up to the room. She is old, tries to have some facelifts and provides good service to make up with her age. However, she charge 5.5 Reals ($US 3.6) for a bucket of ice (room service) and 20 Reals ($US 13.3) Reals for a day of internet access. Her staff is helpful and friendly.

"Very comfortable stay at Olinda"
We stayed at Olinda Othon for 3 nights around Christmas. The hotel is conveniently located, right on Copa Cabana beach. Its not luxurious but very comfortable and the thing that made the most difference for us was the super friendly staff. Everyone at the front desk was so nice, always willing to help and answer question. They had good suggestions on […] places to eat, booked tickets for us and once when my husband injured himself on the beach, they were so kind abut getting us to a hospital. We were a family with two kids and we couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay!. Highly recommended! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent value, location and service."
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The location on the beach, nearness to bus and subway lines, supermarkets and restaurants was very, very good. Just short walks to all amenities. Would definately stay there again without hesitation.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
After reading what others had written were not expecting much besides a great location and were very happily surprised. The location is what we payed for but we got also the friendliest staff we have ever experienced.We have traveled all over the world and stayed in much nicer hotels,but never in any with staff that went out of their way to be helpful. […] From the doormen, to the registration staff, to the food servers to the security, everyone had smiles and answered any questions or needs we might have. We will return to this hotel!

"Great Hotel"
We enjoyed our stay (12 nights ) in this hotel - Deluxe sea view room - large comfortable bed - large screen lcd tv - fine room service everyday - good toiletries - all the electrics worked well - no complaints. Breakfast was all the tropical fruits you could name and plentiful, hot dishes of cutup frankfurter with onions( could have done with a change […] ), scrambled egg, a good spread of cereals,bread,cakes etc, coffee, tea, juices. Beach towels and parasols were complimentary. We were unable to get a late checkout because the hotel was full but were able to leave our luggage securely locked and make use of the lobby toilet to freshen up and change for the airport.

"perfect location if you love the beach"
Great hotel. Rooms were very clean and the staff was very helpful. We had a fabulous view of the Copacabana Beach from our room. Felt very safe walking around late at night. Great breakfast included in the price. The only annoying thing about the hotel is that the internet went down once in a while. I would recommend this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"good to know"
I was surprised as how good value for money this hotel was .Hotels by the beach are a gem and you pay for location in Rio,.Staff was hyper helpful allowing us in before checking time and giving us late check out.,The hotel is still in the process of refurbishment but the ongoing decoration of the lobby did not interfere. It is a very traditional hotel […] ,therefore ,not for those looking for sleek modern .Breakfast is copious and the variety is unlimited. I will definitely stay there again and recommend it.

"Worth the extra money for a sea-view."
Really liked the Olinda. Perfect condition at Copacabana, feels safe around the area. Ipanema is a nicer area but its convenient enough. The staff were helpful, good English. The breakfast was great. Its worth paying the extra money for a sea-view room. Beds v comfortable and clean. A couple of gripes: leaking ceiling on last day - not sure what that […] was about.... also, when we checked in initially there was a bikini hanging in bathroom from previous guest (but the place was clean - housekeeping just neglected to remove this item!). finally, the staff at the olinda arranged an airport transfer (international airport) for one rate but didnt tell us they have a cheaper option for half of that price if you go by minivan with multiple pick ups, which a different staff member told us about the next day. We were happy to pay the higher rate but just wondered why we were not given both options... Nevertheless, I am happy with this hotel and would recommend. A sense of humour required for some of the hiccups! Perfect for price and location. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"CLEAN AND MODERN DIRECT ON THE BEACH"
I've stayed in many hotels in Rio and this is definitely the best. It's not old and run-down like most of the other 4-start hotels, our room (ocean view) was funished with neutral colors, linens carpets and drapes were new and everything was very clean. The breakfast buffet was basic but adequate. Reception staff were very helpful! We arrived at 7am […] and checkin isnt until 3pm. Christine checked our bags (with a claim ticket, not just thrown in a corner so anyone could walk out with them) and let us use the bathroom / lounge to change in to our beach clothes. She even offered us beach towels. I'd recomment booking the shuttle to the airport at 75BRL (2 persons) as a taxi from Copacabana to Galeão/ GIG could cost between 60 and 150 BRL even if you are brasilian and not a tourist (ask me how i know!?!) If you can get a good price, I'd definitely recommend staying here, but get a room on a high floor if you dont want to be woken up at 5:30am from the traffic. We were on the 6th floor and could hear it loud and clear! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Unlucky with room"
Two visits close together - second time got 'an upgrade' (not asked for# - Room had a seaview and a desk/two chairs/an armchair in addition to previous room. BUT twin beds instead of a king - tiny 1-person shower #could have got 4 people in previous one# with nowhere to run when water temperature changed dramatically, tiny wash basin area with room […] for only one #other half with make-up# at basin/mirror #previous could fit three#, Vented AC which had no discernable way of regulation #previous had old-fashioned blower and hand control#. Old fashioned #stiff# sash window to sea-view, I suppose, qualified the room as an upgrade. But given that it was a two minute walk across the road if we wanted to see the sea, and we were a couple wanting to do things together the furnishing was not appropriate. We were returning for just one night, having been 'up-country'. More than one night and I would have asked for a 'down-grade'. Total of 5 nights - breakfast standard but staff seemed to be working to 'a plan' rather than responding to needs - eg - taking half a platter of food away to be topped up, while passing a queue of people at an empty coffee urn. I suppose it was just different staff having certain responsibilities. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
