Olinda Rio Hotel

We had a truly memorable experience at Olinda Rio Hotel in Rio de Janeiro — and it all began with the warm welcome from front desk officer Marcel Pitanga. After a disappointing experience with another accommodation, we were searching for a beachfront hotel and happened to walk into Olinda without a prior online booking. From the very first moment, Mr. Pitanga made us feel at home. He went above and beyond to assist us in every possible way. Thanks to his kindness and professionalism, we instantly felt a connection with the hotel. Our room was exactly as requested — clean, comfortable, and beautifully arranged. The entire hotel was spotless, and the breakfast was absolutely fantastic. The rest of the hotel staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly. Even though English is not widely spoken in Brazil, the entire Olinda team made a real effort to communicate with us and ensure we had a pleasant stay. I highly recommend this hotel to any tourist visiting Rio. Its beachfront location is perfect for beach days, and there are plenty of local food spots and evening street stands with clothing and other local products right nearby. Thank you to Olinda Rio Hotel for making our trip unforgettable!

It is an old property, but it is very well maintained, and they keep cleaning everything. Friendly personnel in the welcoming staff, the reception, bagging assistant, breakfast personnel, housekeeping, etc. Thank you to Manuel who gently assisted us on the baggage handling and took over them from the car until our rooms. All personnel was always smiling and ready to assist you in any situation. Breakfast had a variety of options for everyone, and they keep refilling every meal, so even though you go for breakfast at the end, you will always have all options of foods available. Properly is right in front of the beach, close to restaurants, pharmacies, and you have access to everything. Parking is the public parking in the street and you need to buy a ticket/pass for $2 reales/day. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends. Congratulations to all staff of this hotel!

Tasteful breakfast.

Nice room with all we needed (perfect view of beach, big table, comfortable bed and chairs, fridge), copious breakfast, excellent staff, beach towel service

The staff was amaizing. From the welcome staff at the door, to check in to service after. They were outstanding in their customers service. The location is also great. Just across from the copacabana beach and close to lots of shops, restaurants and services. The breakfast was good had quite abit of selection and the staff at the restaurant were great and welcoming. The building itself is old but quaint so don't expect too much in terms of esthetics. But it is very clean at all locations at all times. Overall ok stay for the price.
