The people are very friendly, and eventhough the hotel was doing some minor remodeling, most people were completely unaware that it was taking place.

Great place to stay and very central in Copacabana. A little tired but otherwise amazing
Jeandré, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is nice overall, but for the high nightly rate, I expected a bit more. The pool is quite shallow—only about waist-deep—which was a bit disappointing. Breakfast was good.
Victor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed my stay at the Royal Rio Palace Hotel. It was perfectly located two blocks from Copacabana Beach. The rooms are modern and elegant. The breakfast buffet was impressive and had so many options you couldn’t try them all. It is in a safe area and centrally located. They have rooftop pools if the beach isn’t your thing or an indoor pool for wet days. We will return when we come back to Rio.

The hotel needs urgent restoration. Some staff, especially at the door were very polite. But they couldn't even provide cutlery if you didn't order from their restaurant. Will not be going back soon.

The Breakfast Buffet was good but it closed much too early. Late sleepers loose out. Should at least go till 12PM.

I had a generally pleasant stay. The location is great, making it easy to get around, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The breakfast was solid, and I appreciated having access to a gym and pool, although there were some water leakage due to the rain. The bed was comfortable so that's a positive point as well. On the downside, the hotel does feel a bit dated in some areas, and the bathroom lacked an exhaust fan, which made it a bit stuffy after showers. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for comfort and convenience, especially with the amenities and service.

Sleepless Start: Hotel Needs Major Maintenance

My 11-night stay was okay, but more of a 3-star experience than 4-star hotel. Pros: - Excellent breakfast buffet and delicious restaurant food with generous portions. - Superb location: 5-minute walk to Copacabana Beach (Leme), groceries, restaurants, and the Cardeal Arcoverde metro for easy access to tourist spots. - Friendly, helpful, and compassionate staff, especially with issues. - Nice rooftop pool, bar, and restaurant with Rio mountain, city, and some sea views, offering great drinks. Cons: - Early check-in cost a full night's stay, forcing a long wait after an 11-hour flight. - First room (119) had poor Wi-Fi, a concrete view, and noise issues (loud music, tapping), plus a non-functional phone. It took six days and daily requests to change rooms for lack of sleep. - Second room was basic and run-down, with a toilet that never looked clean. Taps make a loud squeaking sound when water pours through. Wi-Fi was better but intermittent and slow for work. - Elevator breakdown caused long waits. - Gym was neglected with most equipment broken; hand spray was always empty. The hotel needs maintenance to live up to its 4-star potential. My experience was disappointing compared to photos and reviews; I'd hoped for a more relaxing start to my travels.

The staff were super wonderful and always available whenever. They recommended great food, shopping and found taxis for us to get around. The area was very quiet, walkable and safe even during the night time. Shoutout to Julio Cesar for being so wonderful to us, made my mom a remedy when she a bit sick! He’s the best! The facility itself has some small imperfections but the service makes up for it. Would definitely come back and recommend for the price it’s worth it.

Really dirty I have picture of the door bad condition the roof and floor have hairs
Otto R Galdamez, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A well located hotel, within easy walking distance of both the beach and Metro. The buffet breakfast was plentiful. The room was clean promptly daily. The rooftop pool was a nice area, however quite small given the number of rooms in the hotel. The biggest downside was the lifts, where you could wait a long time for them to arrive. We stayed 5 nights & paid for an early check in c£35 following an overnight flight. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the hotel
