Olinda Othon Classic

Good Location, but Bare-bones Basic

The only things this hotel have going for it are a convenient mid-Copacabana location, on the beach but just a short walk to the Metro, and a nice lobby. The "standard" room was bare-bones basic, with just enough room for the bed, and the TV mounted so awkwardly above the tiny desk shelf that it was hard to avoid banging my head against its heavy support bracket whenever I stood up. The air conditioning was not adjustable -- either very cold and noisy or off. No bottled water or paper tissues were provided. The windows did not seal well, but at least it was quiet in the rear location, where only the back walls of other buildings were visible. The breakfast was just OK, below par for Brazil.

Only one problem

hot water not available until after 7 AM

Great hotel

Great place if you want to relax by the beach and eat the most amazing food in Copacabana.

Better than expected

After finding this on the internet and reading the reviews, we picked it because it was not a modern hotel and wanted a little of the 'classic' feel. The lobby didn't disappoint, the rooms were decent and good sized, though there was some water spotting on one of the walls in the room. The clean white room with the good bed felt nice, and though there seemed to be insufficient staff to give really good service, we didn't spend much time in the hotel anyway. The location was ideal for us, and we enjoyed walking across the street to Copacabana Beach, and being just down the street to the metro and buss lines (we avoided taxis whenever possible).

Needs better management

room were not very clean especially the bathroom

A Great Stay!

The hotel staff very helpful and knowledgeable. A good location across from the beach would highly recommend.

Nice Hotel, worth the dough...

The hotel has an older look and charm with very clean and somewhat newly remodeled rooms. Nice tiled bathroom with a glass shower stall. The included breakfast was the usual fair in Brazil... Fruits, a variety of breads, meats and cheeses with coffee and fresh juices. The only complaint I have is the internet connection in my room did not work. But who goes to Brazil to surf the web? I still had a great there...
