OK stay in noisy hotel

The doors to balcony are not good enough considering the rooms are above the pool/restaurant - they need to improve/update them- the hotel was very busy as it was the end of Carnival but the noise went very late into the night. The room was comfy nothing special and def not as good as other Fairmonts.

This is the best hotel in Copacabana and not just because of its great amenities and view but because the service you will receive while you stay there. I had the best time ever with my dad, they treated us in a very special way and made our stay very memorable. I will always treasure this trip in my heart and will be for ever thankful with the Fairmont team for the great service.

Great Location, but need an update.

I recently stayed at the Fairmont Rio for a week. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but the hotel is showing its age. The entire property, including the rooms, feels extremely tired, as if it hasn’t been renovated or properly maintained in at least 20 years. Many details were worn or damaged: the basin had chipped edges, some facility signs were broken, and general wear-and-tear was noticeable throughout. Worse, there seemed to be an issue in every room. My original room had an air conditioner that rattled nonstop, making it impossible to sleep properly for two nights. The staff were friendly and promptly moved me to another room, but in the new room, the shower drain didn’t work, leaving a pool of water after every use that only cleared when housekeeping came. That said, the location is unbeatable. The hotel is surrounded by fantastic restaurants and plenty of breakfast spots. It’s also just a short stroll to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, making it ideal for exploring. The hotel breakfast was disappointing - very basic for the price. You can find much better quality and variety outside at a fraction of the cost. On the plus side, the gym was well-equipped, with dumbbells up to 26kg, four 20kg plates, and a Smith machine, a great perk for fitness enthusiasts.

My wife stayed at this hotel, and she is very unsatisfied with this property. She has yet to hear back from the manager for any of these following issues she raised. 1. There are numerous hair everywhere in this hotel and also on food. Very disgusting!! Be careful of the food you eat including bread and scrambled eggs!! 2. The phone and power outlets is broken in her room, no power at all, nobody responded to her messages on WhatsApp 3. Check in was supposed to be at 3:00 pm, but she waited for another half hour because front desk had forgotten to notify her room was ready
