Good location being in the middle of Copacabana beech the hotel rooms were clean and comfortable all tho the bathroom facilities could do with modernising a little. During my stay the hotel was undergoing some restoration on the ground floor prior to the world cup being held there in 2014 i expect however this did not effect us at all.... More

I've stayed for two nights, with a front-viewing room. It was an overall pleasant experience. The hotel was undergoing some restoration on the ground floor, but nothing that impacted the comfort. The room was pleasant, clean, and looked as if it was taken care of (despite being an older hotel, with older infrastructure). Buffet breakfast could be better. The issue... More

All the hotels, especially on the beach, are expensive, but that aside, we enjoyed our stay here. Being right on the beach helps a lot. The rooms were nice and spacious, although as other reviews pointed out, the carpets are old and musty with the smell of sand and sea tracked in over the years. The breakfast buffet was ample...

Rooms look right across from Copacabana beach. If you are in Rio you want to stay on the beach. This is a hotel from the fifties that has been redone and looks good. When you stay at the Olinda you are in the middle of it all! The Olinda Hotel is a very clean and nice hotel with rooms aiming... More

As most of all hotels in Rio, this one is too expensive for what if offers. Rooms are ok sized. Noisy AC, not very helpful front desk (the night shift manager suggested me and my friend shared a queen bed because he didn't want to ask someone to split the beds as they should have done hours before). Breakfast ok.... More

We stayed in the hotel at Easter and had a sea facing room. The hotel is very nice and the staff do speak English which is helpful. You can ask for beach towels and a beach umbrella but ask early as they do run out. Our room was spacious and bathroom good. It was noisy at the front but the... More

The window opens facing the beach, superb; for me it's all about the view. Bed and pillow are comfortable; bathroom is dated, fashionable in 1960s – the shower points into a tub similar to one you might have plants in – 5 inch wide rim all the way round with walls on 3 sides – yes you guessed, water pours...

Location, location, location..Almost dead center on Copacabana beach-Stay here. If you are in Rio you want to stay on the beach. This is an older hotel that has been redone. I have read elsewhere on this site that people complain the carpets need cleaning and the place sometimes smells like the beach. What did they expect, this is a beach... More

The Olinda Hotel is a very clean and nice hotel with rooms aiming directly to the Copacabana Beach. The rooms have been modernised and are nice looking, the bathrooms are old but VERY clean. The breakfast was the best we got on our whole Argentina & Rio trip. Furthermore, the staff is very helpful. But there are two negative aspects... More
