“Very comfortable stay at Olinda”

We stayed at Olinda Othon for 3 nights around Christmas. The hotel is conveniently located, right on Copa Cabana beach. Its not luxurious but very comfortable and the thing that made the most difference for us was the super friendly staff. Everyone at the front desk was so nice, always willing to help and answer question. They had good suggestions on places to eat, booked tickets for us and once when my husband injured himself on the beach, they were so kind abut getting us to a hospital. We were a family with two kids and we couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay!. Highly recommended!

“great Rio hotel”

So you know who's writing this. My wife and I travel quite a bit for pleasure and have been to many countries. We like quiet and smallish hotels that feel at least somewhat intimate. We are not into overly fancy accommodations, but things need to be nice and clean. Location is important as I want direct access to what I am visiting the location for. I'll pay a little extra for a better view so I can enjoy the area even for the small time I'm in my room. W truly enjoyed Rio and the Olinda Othon Classic hotel. We had an ocean view room and it was one of the few with an amazing balcony - very nice. We saw a couple of the non-ocean view rooms and they were dark and dreary without the natural light we had. The location was good and the staff was friendly. I would stay there again. BUT DO NOT use the room phone for local or long distance charges. We were charged an arm and a leg for long distance (not surprising) and a ridiculous amount for local calls (completely unacceptable). We found the people in Rio to be amazing. I have rarely been somewhere with such nice and relaxed residents. I never once felt in trouble, although our Spanish didn't translate so well to Portuguese.

“fantastic location and profetional staff.”

Fantastic location and pro staff

“Cidade Maravilhosa”

Convenient location, for the price ,amenities including breakfast, standard is above average amongst same category of Hotels and preferable for its value.

“Great for its price range”

This hotel has a gorgeous lobby and entry area. The rooms and hallways in the rest are pretty average, but this hotel is also a lot more affordable than any hotel right on the beach. It is very clean, service is good, and the free breakfast is above average.

“Nice Location in a Dangerous Place”

Nice experience with the hotel however the internet connection in the room did not work. No one could figure it out nor did the repairman appear as promised. Police shot a mugger right in front of the hotel in the middle of the morning.

“Good Value!”

Quality and comfort of the room was very good. The room was facing the beach and there was a bit of traffic noise late at night/early morning which is the only minor negative point re. our stay.

“Old with a fresh smell”

Good location

“Please offer a higher category of room,”

The room you offer us,(standard),was BAD,no view,dark and a dangerous bath room.So we requested a higher rate,with an additional US$ 25 a day,and were given a room with the view to the Copacabana beach,noisy ,but that is normal.

“Oh Rio”

Great place to be close to copacabana. Hotel did not have Internet service that weekend. Other than that the folks are great and the rooms are comfortable. Nice breakfast.
