Hotel Astoria Palace

A very good choice, clean (they clean and they change towers every day), the breakfast is big with many options. the personal is polite and helpfull. at the copacabana. the room we have is big with great view at the beach.

The hotel is very good, great location. The breakfast is very good, a lot of varieties. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

I was sceptical when booking this hotel because some of the negative reviews. Having stayed here for a week I can conclude those are from people expecting a 5 star experience, when paying a 3 star hotel price to stay in a very solid 4 star hotel. The service is exceptional, from the reception staff, which were some of the best I've dealt with, to the group taking care of breakfast and room service, all were very accommodating to special requests. The location is perfect, you cross the street and are on the beach, just behind there is the boulevard with multiple grocery stores, bus stops.. The rooms do look exactly as on the pictures, 90s style retro design ;) But overall very well maintained and all amenities provided. There is a fridge in each room and strong Aircon. My room window was a few meters away from the next buildings wall but that is also noted when booking, and with the great views from the rooftop the price for sea view was not worth for me, especially as the drapes are on to keep the sun out most of the time. The rooftop pool is quiet at night as well, not a party bar as it's not s party hotel, mostly families and young couples, they have all possible drinks from tea to cocktails and the best sunset views. You get a free beach chair from the barrack right opposite the hotel on the beach and an umbrella for 10reals if youd want. Overall, I'd rate this hotel as Exceptional considering the value for money.

Location is really good and the staff is overall friendly. The breakfast is decent and has what you would expect from a Brazilian hotel at the price charged, so good food with ok to good quality/variety.

You step out of the hotel and cross the street to the beautiful Copacabana beach. 3 hotels over is the Copabana Palace which is also beautiful to look at if you like architecture. It was wonderful. Beds were comfy. Place was clean. View was awesome. Also, there is another hotel with treat included the name Astoria that is a couple blocks off of the beach. Just make sure you GPS sends you to Astoria Palace. Great showers as well.
