This hotel is located on Copacabana beach, nextdoor to Copacabana Palace. The quality of the hotel, service, room is very good. There is a small pool on the roof with a view over Copacabana in front, corcovado in the back and Pão de Açucar on the left...very nice. The breakfast is just perfect with a large choice of fresh fruits,... More

I spent several nights at this hotel while on business however the location was great! It is right on the Atlantica Avenue overlooking Copacabana beach. They have an area on the beach just for their guests and all the kiosks on the beach were within reach with great service. The morning breakfast had great variety and great service. The rooms...

Had 24 hours in Rio before returning home and ended up in the Windsor Excelsior. The Hotel is positioned perfectly, in my opinion, to sample the best of Rio. Its right on the Atlantica Avenue overlooking Copacabana, the Main Entrance is on a side Street but this means the Breakfast / Resteraunt ovelooks the glorious Beach. I had a Corner... More

Spend one night at the Windsor Excelsior after a conference in another hotel south of the city. Location is good, and I liked the room and general environment. One night thing is the rooftop pool area which has a bar and a little food service, and turned out to be a quiet oasis from the bustling urban beach scene. One... More

I stayed for three nights in the hotel. The room is OK, spacious but not new. The GYM is small and the some instruments are not well kept. The breakfast is wonderful and of course the location on Copocabana beach is the best that can be.

I'm currently staying at this hotel. The staff has/has tried to fool me more than once and does not speak English fluently. I'm waiting to see how the staff acts at the lobby when I tell them I speak Portuguese. Furthermore there is a washing machine running everyday from around 7am to 10am and 7pm to 9pm on each floor...

Recently stayed here on business. The hotel room was exceedingly expensive for what you get. Two beds (no choice!), no coffee making facilities, a view of a concrete block or some apartments (through a bush being grown outside the window), limited air conditioning, very dated decor, limited drawers for clothes, no complimentary water in the room just a mini bar...
