The Royal Rio Palace is great value for your money. The rooms are so nice, clean, and modern. Copacabana beach (better than Ipanema,) is only two blocks away. The neighborhood is very safe, and there is even the most gorgeous rooftop overlooking the beach, complete with a pool. I would most DEFINITELY stay here again. Make sure you get a... more

We stayed at this hotel for only one night but we were really pleased with the infrastructure (it looks brand new), with the location (eventhough it is not right on the beach, it is close to it) and the service. I highly recommend this hotel, it is a excellent quality/price ratio (we paid only 190 reales+local tax). more

We stayed here for 4 nights in mid-December, 2006 and were delighted with this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful; the room was large and quiet; the bathroom had a huge glassed-in shower; and the breakfast was excellent and served in a beautiful dining room. (Our one dinner at the hotel was mediocre.) The desk staff arranged tours for... more

We stayed 5 nights at the Royal Rio Palace and we thought it was an excellent hotel in a safe location (for Rio) with excellent friendly staff and good food. The hotel is two blocks back from Copacabana Beach and within walking distance of the Metro (which is cheap, safe and easy to use) and of the marvellous Rio Sul... more

It’s not incredibly fancy, it’s not overlooking the Copacabana and it isn’t that flashy. But what it is, is a good modern hotel. Our room was a very good size with sauna and Jacuzzi bath. It was also very clean and comfortable, and we arrived to a bottle of bubbly and a large basket of fruit because we were on... more

I recently stayed at the Royal Rio Palace Hotel. It is located in Copacabana, just two blocks from the beach and is in an excellent location. The rooms are spacious, offer all amenities, some with jacuzzi in the bath. Beds are comfortable, good TV with English channels, a mini bar and fridge and air conditioning. The rooms are immaculant.There is... more

The rooms have been remodeled recently and are ok. Cleanliness is OK too. The front desk staff is cool if you make friends and chat them up. Ask them for clubs and entertainment in Ipanema. They will also try to accomodate you for taxi to/from your night spot, if it's not too late. Otherwise, ask them how much the taxi... more

Stayed at this hotel at the beginning of February 2005 for the carnival. The hotel is clean and modern. The room we had was smart and quite spacious. The shower was large enough for four people! We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis. The breakfasts weren't brilliant. There was not a great choice for hot and cold breakfasts. The... more
