Hotel is just okay, we needed a place closer to the airport for one night and so this place worked for that. Price was reasonable and rooms are spartan, but you get what you pay for, nothing to complain about. I would not stay here more than one night as there is nothing to do in Centro and you would be constantly going back and forth to other parts of the city.

I had a wonderful day there, but I was a little concerned about walking around at night. So I just stayed in, the hotel restaurant was very good.

The food and service is excellent. The location is convenient because it is close to the downtown but it is unsafe at night time. The pool area is nothing like the pictures, the water is cold and it looks abandoned.

Most liked staff, very friendly very helpful but yet very professional. Special mention to Restaurant staff and also front desk. For my next stay, might prefer a room higher up where noise may affect less. Or if there is some way of Sealing wndows.

Dated and not sure about the 4*
Hotel was clean but very dated. It was like stepping back to the 80s. Although there is a tram stop nearby, the area is not very safe at night time. Reception staff weren't very welcoming. Not sure what makes this a 4* hotel.

The hotel was wonderful! It is in a neighborhood that is not safe for tourists. So I would recommend staying at this property if you are a confident traveler that speaks Portuguese. The staff was kind and did the best they could to communicate with us! Which, I am so appreciative of!

The location was perfect for the carnaval Less was; Breakfast could be still 11 instead of 10. More people at the counter who speaks engish. Such a big concern as Windsor. Give your personel at the counter free Engish lessons.

Rooms are clean and the hotel is located near the sambadrome, which is convenient. Also breakfast is also very good and offers a lot of options. However, the neighborhood is really bad. A few patrons that we met during our trip got mugged twice right outside the hotel. We did the other Windsor in Copacabana for the most part and then this one and I can say that copacabana is a far better neighborhood to stay at. Taxis and Ubers are cheap here too. Will be avoiding Centro in the future unless to go to sambadrome.

I chose this hotel because of it's location to the cruise port. This was a mistake. When the hotel warns you to stay in the lobby until your taxi/uber arrives tells you about the area. Should have stayed in Copacabana. While i had a noisy fan in my room, i did enjoy my stay. Someone complained about the lack of english. While They should have their information manuals translated into English as it is the international travel language. (Just go to Tokyo to see the signs are in English). It is costing them revenue as i would have made some additional purchases if i knew some of the prices. As far as breakfast buffets go, it's okay. I hate when hot dogs are called sausages. While I loved the array of fresh fruit, I hated the ham and cheese sandwiches. i ordered soup for dinner and it was great. They serve it with a basket of garlic bread. I think that the practise of the waiters sharing the tip with the kitchen staff should be adopted every where. i doubled the service charge or tip because if the soup. I wish i could have tried the dinner biffet. The pool on the roof is very impressive and i enjoyed being up there.
