My stay here in Windsor was amazing, the location in the downtown, near to the airport and other facilities like museum and Sambódromo. The costumer services was really helpfully and kind all the time. Breakfast option 10/10.

The breakfast and catering team are second to none. The hotel needs to focus on communication and not taking advantage of clients.

The hotel itself is excellent. As soon as you step outside you’re risking your life. Filthy dirty, loaded with homeless people doing very obscene things on the street, lots of beggars.

The Guanabara is a very good hotel in Rio. It is in the Center and the business district. Clean and nice facilities. The only negative is it is a long way from the tourist district, if you are interested in taking advantage of any of the tour companies or famous beaches.

Convenient location, not safe outside hotel. Reasonable price and breakfast buffet
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024

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.

I have traveled the world. I have seen the rudest receptionists I have ever seen in my life in this hotel. I will never pass by it again. The reception managers were also very rude. I recommend you to think twice before choosing this hotel.

It was an ok property. The hotel charged us for mini bar drinks that we didn’t consume. We were late and communicating was challenging so we just paid the bill anyway, but it was frustrating. Staff was not friendly or particularly helpful. Pet much did the bare minimum.

High recommend this hotel. It’s in the city. People working there are so polite. The pool is amazing. The view is amazing ❤️

The location is not good. There are homeless people everywhere to the extent they will follow you into the local cafes/shops asking for food. I traveled with my daughter and I did not feel safe in thebarea at all. There is trash everywhere. If you are traveling for vacation I recommend staying in Copacabana. The food at the hotel is medicore and is $25 USD per meal. You do better going to a nice restaurant elsewhere. I am unclear how this place has a 4* rating it is a low 3 at best.

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.

The hotel is situated in the center - downtown. The chamber was basic yet at a high price. There were tears in the walls. Staff was nice but don't speak other language than Portuguese, unless you go at the front desk where most staff can at least communicate in a suitable english. The environment is definitely not as beautiful as Copacabana or Ipanema witch are better situated and better looking. If you are looking for more fancier location, yet a bit far, try near the "Jardim Oceanico" station. It's the most upgraded part of the city.

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.

Front desk sucks! They don’t speak English and is hard to get proper help with anything, only people at the restaurant were helpful.

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.
