Hotel Atlântico Copacabana

Prós: I reviewed this hotel in full on my website, please check it out. Alistair Casey http://alistaircasey.com/blog/hotel-atlantico-copacabana

disappointing

Prós: Location is good

Contras: Doesn't qualify as a 4 star hotel. I booked two luxury rooms and recieved 1 basic room and another room which was low level. The facilities are old and the room was not 100% clean. Before charging more than 100 dollars per night, they should take a close look at how a real luxury hotel looks like..

Extremely outdated and noisy

Prós: Wifi was reliable and breakfast/location were OK - about a 5 minute walk to the beach in a pretty decent and well lit neighborhood.

Contras: For US travelers, this is very reminiscent of the highway motels you may have been to in the early 90s - cable TV on a faded CRT tube TV, weird controls for the lights, noisy wall air conditioning unit that sort-of worked and bathroom that's sketchy in every way possible - with a dripping shower to boot. Staff at checkin wasn't too interested in offering maps, directions, suggestions - felt very awkward having to pry some details out of them and all answers were one or two words. They were quite chatty about offering tours and doing currency exchange. At $250/night this is borderline criminal of an accommodation but they are cashing in on the Olympics.

Great Location. Everything else is just okay.

Prós: Location.

Contras: The bedding was thread bear and dingy. They charge for ice. No iron.
