Hotel Atlantico Copacabana

The hotel was in a great location and breakfast had a wide spread.

Some staff were friendly and helpful but the kitchen staff were not. We felt like a burden asking them for anything and when the room was full at breakfast and we were stood helpless they did not help us at all, we were only offered help by another guest. There are also lots of ants on the tables and around the juice. The pool was also undergoing renovations which we would have liked to know about beforehand, although the hotel did offer use of a pool elsewhere.

The worst hotel in my life. During 6 nights and 7 days, our room cleaned only 2 times, a lot of dust under beds. During night, we can see cockroaches “competition” in our room. The bedding and towels very, very old. Breakfast was terrible: around 8:00 am, we found nearly empty dishes, in the juice machine was a lot of ants. On the table and on the food cockroaches. We can’t eat at all. The staff didn’t speak English. Only one gentleman Silverster (in the reception) spoke English. The staff was very unhelpful and some times rude. In the reception they offered trip to the H Stern factory. In the evening we ordered this trip, Mr Silvester confirmed: you must be ready at 9:30 am, tomorrow. When we go 9:30 am, nobody knows about it. Staff told you trip can be at 10:30 am. We were very polite and waiting until 11:00 am. Finally, I called my self to the H Stern factory, they informed that didn’t received any requests from our hotel. I strongly recommend to avoid this hotel.

Hotel staff was not friendly and the rooms were not clean. Checking in after flying half way around the world and having to wait until 2pm is ridicules. Staff not helpful at all. No insight on tours or locations or attractions. Long way from the beach. All room is very noise I could here the neighbors next to me loud and clear and here all conversation. This place needs work ASAP! Oh on top of all of it the pool is closed. But of course they don’t tell you on the website.

Everything was not at all what I expected and it was not a good stay.

Walking distance to the beach and coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants, stores and other businesses

The hotel is really old. There was only a few staff working on each shift so things were really slow when you needed. The house keeper never changed my bedding or the towels... there was no restaurant in the hotel and not sure about dine in room service but I don’t think... the area is also not that nice! Oh and WiFi is bad

Extremely outdated and noisy

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

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.
