We went to Q Ceviche, the restaurant on Avenida Atlantica. What a fantastic experience. We had the classic ceviche, the acevichado with salmon and tuna, and the Mignon QCeviche. All five starts. Vinicius, was excellent. With great suggestions and attentive service. We will definitely come back!
hotel is old and dirty :( the first room i was given smelt so bad. sheets were damp and there were body stains on the sheet.. luckily i was given a different on the second day. the only 2 good things about this place is the staff and location. the staff are very kind especially the guys at the desk, they were really helpful and made you feel comfortable. location is perfect right infront of the beach and very safe! the hotel is quiet old so they probably just need to do a full renovation to be honest
Absolutely unacceptable. This hotel does not meet the standards of the Mercure or Accor brand. We paid extra for a Side Sea View room, only to be placed on the third floor where the “view” consisted almost entirely of neighboring buildings, ugly air conditioning units, and visible rubbish. There was only a tiny glimpse of the ocean. Selling this as a sea view is extremely misleading and feels like a complete waste of money. The room itself was even worse. The air conditioner smelled terrible from the moment we walked in, filling the room with an unpleasant odor. The room was poorly ventilated, with a tiny window that barely opened, making the air feel stale and uncomfortable. The hygiene standards were shocking. We found blood stains on the bed sheets and pillowcases, and there were insects in the room. These are things that should never happen in any hotel, let alone one operating under an international brand. After spending the night in the room, I developed a dry and irritated throat, coughing, constant sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. I cannot say with certainty what caused these symptoms, but staying in this room was the only unusual exposure, and the condition of the room made us genuinely concerned for our health. The experience was so unacceptable that we cancelled our second reservation and booked another hotel instead. This completely disrupted our holiday and caused unnecessary stress and expense. This hotel seriously needs to improve its hygiene, maintenance, and quality control. Until that happens, I cannot recommend it to anyone. There are far better hotels in Rio at the same price point.
I have stayed here two times. I stayed here in November of 2025 and May of 2026. It is a nice hotel. The rooms are a little small. There is a okay view of the beach from the balcony rooms. This area can be a little loud but overall it's not bad at night. You can walk to a lot of the different things that Copacabana Beach from here. I will stay here again The restaurant is very good breakfast is included in the package that I typically get and it is a good way to start the day.
Let me start off by saying I would recommend this hotel, even given the lengthy list of "constructive criticisms"!! (Although I would also suggest that it is a high 3* rather than a full 4* hotel. Just my opinion!) So here are the positives first: - all the staff were really lovely - friendly, professional and always smiling - there is a USB charging port either side of the bed - the bed was comfy/firm(ish) - breakfast was generally good quality, with lots of choice with most things - the only exception was the limited hot food - the hotel is in great position on the beach strip, right in the middle with shops, supermarkets and restaurants nearby - try using the Itau (via the Uber app) bikes to get around - easy to use and relatively cheap and "stations" everywhere in the Copacabana/Ipanema area. Plan your routes tho - there are loads of good bike lanes in the main areas, as the roads can be very busy and full of crazy motorcyclists! Also, non Brasilians will need to use their passport to verify their age (i.e. over 18s only) before using them. Now for the constructive criticism: - we found 9 "redundant" light switches - the main light had to be switched off near the door, i.e. because the 3 switches on either side of the bed didn't do anything, and then the bathroom lights would not switch on without the main lights switched on! - the bathroom lights were ridiculous, see photos. There was one over the shower area, which was adequate, but the mirror (the only one that could be used for hair/make-up etc.) only lit up the right side of your face! The shaving mirror could have been used, except the integrated light didn't work! - despite online info suggesting UK to Euro adaptors would work with the Brasilian hexagon sockets THEY DON'T! The reception doesn't have any and suggests local shops might have them. THEY DON'T! After trying several shops we just happened to walk past a street seller selling them for £1.50 - Wardrobe - no long dresses allowed, cos it was a "half-length" one - no hand towel rail - we had to drape it on the shaver mirror - we paid the extra for one of the rooms with the big terrace on the top floor. I would suggest you try and get room 1214 (rather than 1212), as it has the better view. - there is a kettle (but no coffee sachets) plus a Nespresso machine - but you have to pay for the pods after the first free two. So buy pods in supermarkets or bring your own!
