Hotéis em Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro

Prós: Wonderful staff clean and comfy roof top pool and bar is perfect. Our room was an ocean view

Contras: Only if it’s in front of ocean you can sit in your balcony which is not in this property

Prós: I love it... Amei... Perfect

Contras: Breakfast could have more options to eat... Like omelets and cakes

Prós: Café da manhã muito bom, quartos confortáveis, atendimento excelente.

Contras: Piscina muito cheia, com água com cor escura, parecia suja...

Contras: N/a

Prós: China is nothing

Contras: Because China fails

Prós: Excelente localização e conforto

Contras: O café da manhã poderia ser mais variado

Prós: The building is new and room was clean and spacious. Also the beach is very near the hotel. When I requested something to staff, I got a feedback quickly.

Contras: I think it’s better to provide beach service such as parasol and chair. When I visited, only Windsor Barra hotel located next to Windsor Oceanico provided the service.

Prós: Good breakfast and very good location. There are possibilities to relax during the day and there are some places where you can go out in the evening which are located very near.

Contras: The pool on the roof is a little bit too small for that size of hotel, therefore it was very crowded usually. But since there is the beach just in front of the hotel, it was not really a problem.

Prós: Staff are very friendly. Good location for conference.

Contras: Location not great for site seeing. Room is pretty basic, but it is clean.

Prós: The bathroom was amazing. Localization is amazing. The bed was enormous and extremely comfortable. One of the best breakfast I had ever had in an hotel.

Contras: The rooftop pool is a bit weird due to the way it is designed when I thought it would be one of the main spot to be at the hotel. I don't suggest going as a couple during holidays for tranquility, kids and family everywhere which makes some spots very loud

Prós: The attention

Contras: The fact that I cannot selfpark my car.

Prós: convenient location for work

Contras: very expensive, the food was not great

Prós: Nice roof top area with swimming pool. Very nice view of the beach both from room and roof top. Quit atmosphere, well equipped and comfortable room.

Contras: Television is oldfashioned CRT, channels are distorted and many of them not visible etc. Internet connection is not complimentary, but costs 50 BRL per day! Despite the price of internet, wireless internet coverage did not include my room. Wired internet did not work in my room after first connection. A really bad experience was that room cleaning stole 100 BRL from my bag on my first day... I should have used the safe, but did not expect such thing to happen at an expensive hotel. Altoghether, this hotel could do better in providing good service without ripping their customers off.

Prós: Safe beaches and area for walking, rooftop pool with incredible view, bathroom

Prós: Well situated on Barra beach,

Contras: Not at all a 5 star hotel in European norms Mainly for congress therefore always crowded . We have been robed in our room and the overall cleanness is under average

Contras: Facilities maintenance

Prós: Hotel muito novo e a poucos passos da areia da praia, staff atencioso, vista excelente mesmo no terceiro andar. Bom custo x benefício, café da manhã farto mesmo nos momentos mais disputados. Aceita pets (custo adicional). Wifi pega muito bem no hotel inteiro, mesmo em áreas comuns. Quarto confortável com otimo black out e ar condicionado, sem ruídos externos mesmo estando em frente a avenida da praia. Piscina bastante agradável. Ambiente familiar. Recomendo e já estamos com saudades. Vale a pena o quarto com vista pro mar, pouca diferença de valor. Mas mesmo os laterais acredito que tenham muito boa visão também.

Contras: Vaga de garagem incerta, pode ocorrer de estacionamento estar lotado mesmo para hóspedes . Rua do hotel não permite estacionamento (culpa não é do hotel, mas é um pequeno ponto negativo que me ocorre agora).

Prós: Very helpful staff, excellent breakfast buffet and restaurant. Comfortable beds and good ac.

Contras: Not much to dislike, the room was a good size but furnishings are basic.

Prós: Beachfront location is good within the context of Barra de Tijuca. There’s a nice rooftop terrace area where some guests get breakfast but the quality of the breakfast on the rooftop is noticeably worse (less selection) than in the regular lobby breakfast area.

Contras: The lobby smelled like sewage (this may have been related to Rio’s broader water problems but we went two two nearby hotels and neither had the same smell. There was a leak in the bathroom. The sink was clogged (which took at least two requests to resolve). The room overall looked a bit shopworn and one of the towel racks looked like it was about to collapse. Also for such a modern hotel, the gym was really subpar. The hotel looks almost brand new from the outside but not so much from the perspective of the rooms.

Prós: The location and balcony were fantastic. We had an ocean view balcony and the hotel is directly across the street from the beach. The pool, steam room and sauna were nice too.

Contras: The sheet on the bed was very thin and was a flat sheet (not fitted), so in the morning the bare mattress would be showing which grossed me out. Anything from the restaurant and minibar were extremely expensive.

Prós: Friendly, helpful , genuine staff.

Contras: Location on the beach. Efficient staff. Clean.

Prós: I love de breakfast and the staffs was very helpful and friendly

Prós: The view. The toiletteries. Sauna was perfect. The terrace.

Contras: The hydro downstairs was old or not strong enough for call it a hydro. The other one upstairs at six o clock was closed, just when most people come back from the beach. Too much wait for the elevators.

Prós: Breakfast was good. LOCATION WAS TERRIBLE. IT SAID BEACH NEARBY. WE HAD TO TAKE A TAXI TO GET TO THE BEACH IT WAS AT LEAST THREE MILES FROM THE HOTEL. ALSO ABOUT $50.00 USD DAILY TO TAKE TAXI TO RIO, DO NOT USE THIS HOTEL EVEN THOUGH THE HOTEL FACILITIES ARE GOOD YOU WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE CONTRARY TO YOUR ADVERTISEMENT.

Contras: HAVE A SHUTTLE BUS TO BEACH OR TO THE CITY.

Prós: All staff were absolutely brilliant and the manager, Carolina was particularly helpful and went out of her way to help us obtain tickets for our second night stay for Rock in Rio which was absolutely amazing also!! Would recommend highly and the location is perfect for Rock in Rio!!!

Prós: Clean, modern and very friendly staff.

Contras: As a foreigner I am not required to pay VAT tax. However, the hotel collects it then keeps a copy of my passport as proof of foreign status. I suspect the hotel keeps the collected VAT as part of the price. Appears to be a trick to advertise a lower price.

Prós: Lovely staff and facilities!

Prós: Excelente service and staff very friendly. Congrats!

Contras: Breakfast was too crowded; need to find a solution to manage the guests at peak hour.

Prós: Great location

Contras: No restaurant or stores near

Prós: The position is great and rooms are clean

Contras: The Coffee

Prós: Location straight opposite the beach, good access to main rods in Barra.

Contras: Breakfast was rather messy. Only a limited selection of foods. Very busy and crowded, tables pushed too close leaving no room to pass through. Staff slow in cleaning / setting tables (and refreshing food). No central area for picking up extra cutlery. We asked staff for extra spoons, they did not get back to us. Reason we had to ask: spoons were only placed on tables randomly - for instance on atbale with 4 settings only 2 ghad spoons. Other tables none... in bathroom, shower tap was broken and always fell off in our hands. Surely housekeeping would pick this up when cleaning. Why hadn't this been addressed? When we arrived late in the evening, there was no signage for car parking. Satnav guided us to the car park entrance around the side. Gate was locked, camera working. But nobody came, and no bell / intercom. Walked back to the lobby, asking for car parking. Staff appeared to acknowledge, so walked back to the car hoping the gate would open. waited rather a long while, nothing happened. We walked back to lobby again - only now to be told that parking is by valet. But no signage! And staff apparently don't speak english, no apology for the first misdirection. So we drove back to the lobby (with difficulty due to one-way systems). Then faced a deserted lobby and desk, and ended up waiting for 15 minutes until somebody bothered to come out and process the check-in, collect car keys, etc. An extremely bad first impression. When visiting pool, picked up towel there (and handed over towel card). about an hour later tried to return towel and get card back - but no staff to be found anywhere! Waited for rather a while, but still nothing...

Prós: Melhor custo beneficio do Rio. Em frente para a praia.

Contras: Avisar o que está disponível no hotel para levar para praia

Prós: The breakfast

Contras: The room

Prós: The front desk was very respectable and attencious. The room is very confortable.

Contras: There’s no hairdryer as said in hotel info on booking.com

Prós: Location, value for money, free parking and free breakfast, nice and quite rooms

Contras: Nothing, met my expectations

Prós: The hotel is located just off Ayrton Senna Avenue, in the neighbourhood of Barra da Tijuca. It is no more than 5-10 min (by car) from Barra Shopping mall, and just beside Via Parque mall. There is a station of the Transcarioca BRT just in front of the hotel complex facilities. The rooms are nice, yet small. Good shower, and free toiletries available. Excellent complimentary wi-fi. Good assortment of dishes in the breakfast.

Contras: Too far from the world famous tourist attractions of Rio (actually located in the opposite side of the city). However, very appropriate for people either doing business in Barra da Tijuca neighbourhood or willing to visit Barra's nice beaches. The complex where the hotel is located seems brand new, so most of the shops outside are still closed.

Prós: It’s comfortable

Prós: Staff was friendly, switched our room to let us check in early. Hot tub was a nice touch.

Prós: Everything

Prós: The view from the roof top. The bed was comfortable.

Contras: The phone in our room never worked. The balcony sliding doors didn’t close all the way. It was hard to sleep at night because of the noise from the traffic because the balcony doors did not close proper. We complained about this the first day and they never did anything about it. They finally offered to switch us rooms the last night, but they know most people won’t bother packing up when you only have one night left! There was Cigarette smell from others smoking on their balcony that came in our room because the sliding doors didn’t close proper. The door to our room looked like someone had tried to break into it before. The door locks had tape all over it from the inside. There was an awful sewage smell in the room all the times. We stayed 4 nights, 2 nights no hot water to shower with. The roof top jacuzzi was absolutely disgusting!!! Visible filth and grime all over the jacuzzi tub. The jacuzzi is very small for how big this hotel is and how many people can stay there. The sauna was out of order. The tour company the hotel is affiliated with was just awful, very unorganized, the tour guide was very rude! We ended up having to take a Uber home, because he didn’t give good instructions for pick up location!! Awful! I DO NOT recommend this place, STAY AWAY. Spend your money elsewhere. Very far from Ipanema and Copacabana.
