Rio de Janeiro hotellit Recreio dos Bandeirantes

Plussat: Location was good

Miinukset: Bathroom very small No glasses in the room No tea/coffee making facilities

Plussat: Lovely rooms good size shower unreal

Plussat: Absolutely nothing

Miinukset: Staff was absolutely rude, my newlyweds friends try to visit us on the day we were departing to London,its mixed race couple one of them is white one of them darker skin, lady at the reception informed us that he won't be able to come up upstairs by saying "he"reception lady her name was Camila was referring to my friend cause he was black,Im furious how racist she was towards him, friend who we were visiting came downstairs to take us upstairs, however we have been stopped by security explain us thats he can't come up only me and my friend who was staying at the hotel, its appalling how we have been treated by staff,enitire matter has been reported to police in Rio to investigate the incident

Plussat: Clean , fresh and new and rooms a good size, big bed and smart tv with some English channels View is good from pool (but too many people and not enough beds) Great to chill out and relax on beach (this is a very quiet area in comparison to copacabana and is about 1 hour drive so is very far) we came to this hotel after copacabana & travelling about, I would not recommend for all of your holiday as is very far from everything. But they do offer day trips for everything so depends what you like. Also if you dont speak Portuguese you will struggle (but I found that everywhere in Brazil except copacabana ) google translate does help.

Miinukset: We had late flight from Rio at 10pm but once you check out They do not allow u to use pool or shower facilities on top floor! Only 9 sun loungers around the pool to accommodate for around 400+ guests. Can never get a bed so if your a beach person then it’s ok (but best of staying somewhere a lot cheaper) Breakfast was very busy and hard to get a table or even a plate, a lot of waiting around WiFi is poor

Plussat: Great Location

Miinukset: the room was a suite and have some scratches on the furniture.

Plussat: Design but very tired. It just needs some help

Miinukset: Needs some live - walls furniture dirty. Beach filthy where hotel chairs are

Plussat: The hotel was very clean with a high end feel. The view from the pool was unbelievable and the staff was great and very accommodating. The hotel provides towels and beach chairs which was great!

Miinukset: I think the breakfast could be better. The scrambled eggs were very watery and there were only 4 fruits available, not bananas or oranges. An omelette station would be a nice addition. There was a lot of pastries to choose from.

Plussat: Not much

Miinukset: They have Smart Tv's that can not be connected to internet so there is a TV without netflix or youtube. Room service food is awful. I had to call more than 3 times to reception to clean the room even before y called on the morning before going to the beach

Plussat: Great location, amazing view from infinite pool.

Miinukset: My room was extremely dirty, I found someone’s hair all over, bathroom, bedroom, even on my towel! I won’t mention how clean was the bathroom... They change our room, but customer service at the front desk is terrible. Also, it is ridiculous that you have to wait in line or awkwardly skip the line just to get a wristband because you CANNOT get into your room without the wristband, security won’t let you go upstairs! A security deposit fee is changed based on amount of days is your stay ($200 per day). In the end, setting up our bill, the lady at the front desk just said “you are all good guys thanks, bye” and we asked about our security deposit so she asked for my credit card for the refound/cancellation, I mean, do I need to ask that? If I didn’t ask she wouldn’t cancel it?

Plussat: Close to bus, beach and centre. Beautiful nature closeby. Nice big room. Good breakfast. Nice english speaking staff.

Miinukset: Shower coukd be better, to hard and takes a while before set right temperature.

Plussat: The breakfast was wonderful

Miinukset: The internet was weak

Plussat: The beach was great. Good to jog or walk. Many vendors sell all types of goody.

Miinukset: Very quite at night.

Plussat: The location is very good, in front of the beach. The view is nice, specially from the rooftop. There is some restaurants nearby and the parking lot is big enough.

Miinukset: Our room had a varanda and seaview, that was nice. But there is no acustic insulation, so because of the heavy traffic in the in the front street, it is very loud. The beach chair broke after some minutes of use. The beach in front of the hotel has some rude beach vendors. Every sunday there is a kind of 'church' using the hotel.

Plussat: Nothing about the room, if you look for a customer service and Value for money don’t come in to Atlantico sul, got to Brisa barra hotel, I have stay there last week and was allot better then here.

Miinukset: The worse point of out stay in was the check in, We have drive over 1000km before we arrive, instead of welcome we have mister Burbe from reception shouting on us, we have pay a bit extra to have a double bed and sea view, when we arrive we find out they will put 2 single beds together because the hotel is full and they don’t have any double beds available,( why charge for something when you can not delivery) no honesty company. Apart of the housekeepers who was very friendly with my wife, non of the at her staffs is friendly at all, the worse is the reception, they never smile, never welcome the guest how we deserve, after mister Burbe arguing with me and my wife him as mention the was giving us a favour to rent us the room, believe or not the receptionist of the atlântico sul hotel they think we pay for the accommodation but we don’t have any wrights, we pay but they delivery what eve they want, so here is my recommendation, if you look to come and visit barra da Tijuca, look the brisa barra hotel, you will be allot more happy and will have the costumer service you deserve, I have stay there last week, and I will be back for sure.

Plussat: Location is good, if you don’t intend to go downtown

Plussat: Nope , nope , nope The city is bad The beach is bad Everything is bad in this place Go to Rio is the big mistake in my life spend one day in santos and hotel is terrible

Miinukset: Terrible

Plussat: Location, value - friendly staff

Miinukset: The entrance (upstairs) has construction activity

Plussat: Breakfast was great, personal was very kind, interesting location.

Miinukset: Bed was the worst, we couldnt sleep. Personal doesnt speak english at all, they do not clean the room and wifi doesnt work properly.

Plussat: This hostel brought us to a great little beach town.

Miinukset: The staff were unbelievably rude. Even to the point where the owner made me cry after calling me fat. It was a very horrible experience at this place. The owner kept making fun of me in Portuguese. He even translated “chata” on google translate to tell me how boring I was. He made a fat comment after I came back to the hostel with ice cream and then again the following morning while I was getting breakfast, which was terrible, not fresh and only bread, cheese and old ham option. I had asked him to stop on several occasions. I even showed him on my phone that I knew what he was saying, that I didn’t like it and that I wanted his behaviour to stop. I left breakfast crying and went somewhere to eat. I am by no means fat, I am a physical education teacher and I wear a size small and a 4. I am very confident but after 4 days of this man, I had had enough, He was a horrible man. We were also supposed to have a city view. It ended up looking at a rats nests of electrical cords. I have always been happy or found good things with my places with booking.com but this place was absoltely horrible. I wouldn’t give it a 1 star. I wouldn’t recommend anyone go here.

Plussat: All members of the staff were exceptionally benevolent, trying their utmost to help. The assistance of Ms Suelen, whose beauty and charm can compete only with her attentiveness, was invaluable.

Miinukset: A few problems with shower and hot water. The bed could be better.

Plussat: Great Staff, Great Breakfast and nice clean rooms next to the beach.

Plussat: We had a very comfortable stay at Pontal do Duque. Its amenities are very complete with AC, a good breakfast with lots of options, friendly staff and a useful balcony. Its located five minutes walking from the beaches and an Itaú bike will bring you anywhere. Great stay for great value!

Miinukset: Since we didn't like to drink water from the tap, we got water from a nearby supermarket. Unfortunately the closest supermarket never had water on stock, but another one luckily had. The dirt road in front of the hostel always held some water you had to walk along.

Plussat: Near a nice beach

Miinukset: I post in my previous review.I could not sleep 3 nights cause mosquitoes bites me all night long.The most negative stay since I am traveling.

Plussat: Everything! Staff here a so lovely-full of good energy The hostel is so chilled-it has a great relaxing vibe Breakfast is a good selection Kitchen facilities to cook own meals etc Location-close to beach/esplanade-lots to do/going on-fitness, running walking cycling hiking surfing swimming Local shops and amenities-everything you need-food places, supermarkets, shops etc Easy transport links-bus/uber etc We were so sad to leave here! Our favourite hostel in 9 months travelling. Hope to be back one day

Miinukset: NOTHING!

Plussat: Great value for money. Close to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Friendly and pleasant environment, but far too relaxed concerning the shower topic

Miinukset: Electric shower with no earthing, which meant shock whilst operating the tap or shower head. Very unpleasant. Staff actually knew about this but safety did not seem to be a priority.

Plussat: Only young people with friendly staff I was going to go shopping with a female traveler

Miinukset: Too many mosquitoes Dozens of places are stabbed just by sleeping I don't want to use the shower room

Plussat: Excellent taff and place, really close to the beach. Awesome vibe from the hostel and the people ! I ll go back if I can

Plussat: Staff nice.

Miinukset: See the previous review.

Plussat: Very laid back atmosphere. Dorms and bathrooms were clean. Even though the staff barely speaks English, they were extremely friendly and helpful all the time. Really cute place.

Miinukset: Maybe we just got unlucky but for some reason this place attracts mosquitoes. I know it’s not the hostel‘s fault but this made our stay very uncomfortable. Breakfast times depend on whenever the staff decides to wake up.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Good value for money Comfortable bed

Miinukset: Difficult to get a hold of someone at reception. Having to wait for breakfast. Could be cleaner
