In general our experience here was ok. Myself and 3 of my friends had 2 rooms between us here during Carnival. We had originally booked other accomodations which proved to have been in a favela (slum) and thus we had to find other housing very quickly upon our arrival. We booked Praia Lido via Booking.com and called them to verify... More

Arrived here by chance after a hostel booking fell through. One block from beach and complementary, nice breakfast was great. However, front desk night staff gave us the runaround trying to get a room, lying to us about availability and pricing until we finally asked to see rooms before paying. I feel they were trying to take advantage of tourists,... More

Just awful. After arriving late in the evening when another hostel booking fell through, I wish I'd decided to sleep on the beach instead. We arrived at reception and were greeted by a man who looked as though he had given up on life. He wanted to charge 1300R$ but we managed to get it down to 200R$, thank Lord..for... More

We stayed in a hostel for the first 4 nights in Rio. Really wanted to stay a few more days nearer the beach and by chance went into Praia Lido hotel to check the price. You will not find any hotel as cheap as this in the Copacabana area. The rooms are big with fridge, Aircon, good shower only problem... More

I had the misfortune to be booked into this hotel this week, I checked out the first morning and went elsewhere. If you love mirrors you'll love it here. There's one on the ceiling, both large walls and the side wall. Everywhere you look you can see yourself about 50 times. The room was very small, smelled very musty and... More

Rio's hotel prices are very expensive so it is hard to find any decent hotel with a good location to the beach and a good price. This hotel is nothing special but for the price and the location nothing else in the area compares. The best part about the hotel to me was that the staff was nice and wasn't... More

After 1 horrible night spent in the Hotel Bandeirantes we were recommended the Praia Lido by some friends who had just stayed there. From the moment we arrived until the moment they took us to the airport in the hotels own taxi service it could not have been better! The hotel staff are friendly and helpful, speak good english and... More

I spent a little time wandering around Rio trying to find a replacement for a booking that fell through. I came across the small entrance to the Praia Lido hotel. I went up the stairs and was impressed with how clean and pleasant the reception area was. A guy on reception showed me to a room, which looked a bit... More

You get what you pay for. This is very cheap for Rio. Tired and a bit dingy. But some surprises. Nice breakfast, free internet, and a wake call that occurred. Recomend but don't expect any frills.
