“Not a good experience”

Hotel Fee at the time of booking through Expedia indicated all Taxes included but Cristal Palace Hotel charged 15% tax. Hotel management was not friendly. Bath room has water drainage problem. Not worth for the money paid. TV channels not showing anything other than sales advertizement for gemstones.

Outdoors or beach
Lively place.

“Not feeling welcomed!”

1. water dripping from the upper floor's air-conditioner to mine, making annoying sound makes us couldn't sleep at night! 2. mattress extremely uncomfortable, it's a must to be replaced! 3. unfriendly hotel staffs, except the night watchman. 4. drinking water from the breakfast buffet, is not an original bottled water, but a refill from the tap water.

“Great Location”

The location of this hotel is extremely convenient between Ipanema and Copacabana beach. The rooms are clean and the breakfast buffet OK. When you book your room make sure to ask for one located on the back side of the hotel, though, as the ones facing towards the street are very noisy.

Zona Sul
Traveler's tip
Close to the hotel is Vinicius (on Vinicius de Moraes Street), a great bossa nova club. A definite must-see!

Area:

Copacabana, Brazil: This famous beach is also the widest beach in Rio. Throngs of bikini- and Speedo-clad locals and tourists take in the sun, as well as a round of beach soccer and volleyball. Copacabana Beach is a popular venue for concerts and a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration where partiers wear white for good luck. The glitzy shops and cafés along Avenida Atlântica provide a welcome respite from the heat.
