Hotels near Leblon Beach, Rio de Janeiro

Very helpful staff, on the Copacabana beach, rooftop pool

The Copacabana Palace is a landmark in Rio de Janeiro, so it is always a special experience to stay there. Besides that, they've managed to have the best staff ever, so gentle and attentive, they make your stay even more special. It is wort every dime payed. The restaurants are an attraction apart, all are just superb. Unforgettable.

staff was very attentive and the hotel was so beautiful and very clean.

The staff spoke English which helped me. They were so friendly and accommodating to my needs. They gave me clear instructions for going to subway/train. They suggested a great restaurant nearby. The bed had a wonderful choice of pillows from softer to firmer eg. to sit up in bed and watch tv. I loved the complimentary snacks and water. The water in glass bottles do not get replaced though, there is a charge if you ask for more, however the hotel has these drinking water stands, so if you want to get a glass of water, you are able to. The breakfast was included with my room booking, wonderful choice and staff wanting to please. I enjoyed lovely slices of fresh fruit, papaya, melon, mango to name. Had choices of yogurt and found an unsweetened type I like. Croissant was ok, but this is not France. Hot eggs and all sorts of other things available too. Coffee was ok, perhaps not really hot enough for my liking or perhaps I like to add too much milk! There is no kettle / jug in the room to boil tea, I would have liked that. Bonus as a guest - attend happy hour and have soft drinks or glass of prosciutto and an array of savoury goody things, fruit, walnuts, salad, cheese etc. its not top cuisine but you can find things there you like. I enjoyed the cooked mini potatoes. Pool: it is padlocked after 5pm, a bit annoying if you want to quietly do a few laps.` Sauna is like a steam sauna, I enjoyed this. This is not always on, but the hotel accommodated me and put it on. Overall I loved my stay and would definitely go back again.

The location, the staff, the breakfast. Very nice place
