Arrived around midnight at the recently renamed hotel (so recent that the sign above the door and all internal fixtures and furnishings still referred to the Luxor). After checking in, there was no one to assist in taking our luggage to our room. We went around the corner to catch the lift up to our floor but found no sign... more

i've been living in brazil for almost a year, so i don't expect much out of hotels here, but this one was bad. the rooms were very old and needed much updating. my parents' room had a broken air conditioner and a broken toilet seat. our room had tiny little bugs in the bathroom and in the bed the first... more

This hotel is amazing! Not only for the location..the staff is great! They gave me an upgrade for ocean view. I had a problem with my transfer out and they helped me calling the company. They organise tours to Corcovado and Sugar loaf and also special tours like hangliding, rafting etc. All you want they can provide. The hotel is... more

RIO IS AMAZING! I had the most amazing time ever in Rio during Carnaval, the city is so full of energy, it's amazing. This hotel could not be in a better location. Directly on Copa beach and a 12 minute walk to Ipanema. The hotel was actually a lot nicer then i had expected. The rooms are fine... nothing to... more

I had seen some mixed reviews of this hotel so I wasn't sure what to expect. However I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my stay at the Regente. The location is great - right on Copacabana beach and a few minutes walk from Ipanema beach. We wandered up and down the beachfront every evening, stopping at the beach-side cafes for... more

Wife and I traveled to Rio on a short vacation trip and could not be more pleased with this hotel. The location is obvious, right on the Copacabana beach, and a reasonably short walk over to Ipanema beach for those who so wish. We did have a high beach view unit, which is an obvious plus. English is spoken by... more

My room was on the 12th floor, which seemed to be under renovation as it was dusty and loud. The room was quite large but had two very small and uncomfortable twin beds. The bathroom had just been remodeled but with little thought to function. Luckily I am small - a larger person would have had great difficulty squeezing between... more

That was my second stay at the Luxor Regente. The first time was during carnival, so I blamed the chaos for the unexplained reservation and was happy to still have a place to stay. However, the second time, during the low season, their service was not much better. We booked two rooms, and while the hotel was half-empty, they would... more

The hotel was meant to be four star but it was a B&B. The breakfast was cold every morning and the same thing everyday. The staff were not friendly, and have serious issues with honesty. The rooms were basic. The best thing was the location. more
