    Recommend it for solo travelers

    The rooftop bar had awesome views, open till midnight, and the drink prices were decent. The breakfast had this huge variety, and those local fruits? Pure gold.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but it was still worth it.

    incredible breakfast
    fantastic dining

    great proximity to the beach and fantastic nearby dining options

    The breakfast was incredible with so many delicious choices, and just a short walk to several excellent restaurants made my stay even better. as a single traveler, I really appreciated the clean and spacious room that allowed me to recharge after days filled with exploring the beautiful city and its parks, but the pool area could use some attention to improve the overall ambiance.

    exceptional breakfast
    spacious room
    crowded pool
    limited beach space
    weekend noise

    The stay was enjoyable, particularly due to the exceptional breakfast that included delicious chocolate muffins and a wide variety of other items. The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely view of the sea. However, the pool was often crowded, making it difficult to relax, and the beach directly in front lacked sufficient space, especially on weekends. Overall, the accessibility of dining options nearby was a plus.

    We had a wonderful time at the pool with a view of the beach, perfect for our family. The breakfast buffet had great variety which my kids loved. The room was clean and comfortable, making our stay very enjoyable.

    My kids wished for more family activities available at the hotel.

    value for money

    This hotel was just a strong match for a day tour in Rio de Janeiro with fantastic value for money. The staff were friendly, but there were some disorganization issues when we arrived, and our room had been overbooked. Make sure to confirm your reservation in advance to avoid surprises.

    beachfront location
    excellent service
    diverse breakfast selection
    room amenities
    bathroom setup

    I enjoyed my stay at Windsor for its unbeatable location right across from the beach. Waking up to that view was a highlight. The hotel staff provided excellent service, making my business meetings smooth and hassle-free with a well-equipped business center. Breakfast stood out with a diverse selection, especially the fresh local fruits. However, I was disappointed by the limited room amenities. No coffee-making facilities in the room made mornings tougher. Also, the shower setup felt outdated with only a fixed shower head. The room itself was clean and spacious, but it could use some modern updates to truly feel luxurious. Overall, the experience leaned more towards the basic side, considering the hotel’s five-star claim.

    beachfront access
    spacious areas
    comfortable environment
    limited amenities

    The beachfront location offers easy access to Barra Tijuca, with scenic views from upper-floor rooms. Spacious areas within the hotel provide a comfortable environment for business meetings and relaxation.

    The lobby can feel quite chilly and has a lingering smell that’s not enjoyable. Amenities in the room lack essentials like coffee-making facilities and the refrigerator selection is limited. Breakfast isn't included, and at $25 per person, it feels overpriced for the variety offered. Additionally, the A/C units in the rooms are noisy, which can be disruptive during the night, impacting the overall comfort.

    The hotel is right across from a beautiful beach, which made access super easy. The rooftop pool is great for chilling, and my room was spacious with comfy bedding and a stunning side sea view. Breakfast had a big selection like fresh fruits and veggies. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
