The hotel need to be renovated rooms very old, curtains with holes and wall peeling. Also I had to cha ge rooms because my 1st room was very dirty in the was and with an infestation of ants and I was in the third floor. The staff is friendly but the rooms are very small and not comfortable at all.

Great stay, fantastic staff and perfect location. Highly recommend!

Amazing place with very good services and infrastructure. The only remark was related to the cleaning crew that didn’t clean the floor everyday

I had à réservation for three night, but thé second night I was bited by fleas. I talked about it to the desk and people was laughing. I said I quit the hôtel and they asked my Card to pay the garage. I never had my invoice.

We booked through Expedia a sea view superior room, but we got a partial sea view room. Nice hotel, good location, clean, good breakfast.

Everything was perfect. Friendly staff and clean rooms and good location.

Hotel is modern, simple, great location in front of the beach with a nice pool.

Trip for short Business stay. Convenient location - great aceess to beach for end of the day, Good quality hotel

Good hotel in a nice location. Issue when checking in because I almost had to pay twice for breakfast.

Great hotel, great staff and great service. Wonderful to be so close to the beach. Not very many food options nearby.

Really nice place at the beach. Location is awesome

The hotel is in a great location overlooking the beach. It is very clean and well maintained. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The breakfast selection (buffet) is plentiful. Beach towels and beach chairs are available for free to hotel guests. They allow early check-in and late check-out. We were very happy with our hotel choice and would come back here any time.

Staff, location, food. and amenities where superior. I had traveled for business so location was of importance. What I did find was an excellent hotel across the street from the beach and centrally located. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful (but I had that feeling from all the Brazilians I met). The breakfast wasnt limited to a 1 hour window like most places I have traveled to but a more realistic early start and leisurely late close. I could go on but have to get back to work.

The hotel is what I have come to expect of a Novotel. It is fairly new, with a modern design. The rooms are comfortable, but efficient. The bed is comfortable, and there is a desk suitable for writing postcards home. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Most rooms have a partial view of the ocean: if you look out the window and to the left, you can see the beach and the water. This was convenient because I could see if the surf was calm or rough before leaving the room. If you look straight out, you see a Windsor hotel about 100 meters or so next door. The hotel is right on the beach in Barra da Tijuca. It is not quite in Rio, according to the locals. Even so, it is a good location, as you can get from your room to the water in about five or ten minutes. The hotel restaurant serves a generous breakfast. You can either book with breakfast included or pay as you go. Coming from Michigan, I was most taken by the deliciously ripe fresh fruit they had every day. There are a few restaurants walking distance from the hotel. Others are a short taxi or Uber ride away. Across from the hotel are various barraca bars, where you can have a beer or a caipirinha and a bite to eat while watching the waves and enjoying the beach. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful, even though we didn't speak Portuguese and they spoke no English.

Very good stay , stuff is very nice . Close to beach .

excelent reception! Hotel with a beautiful location, besides offering a great restaurant and several facilities. The values ​​are above several regions of the city, but follow the pattern of the region of "Barra".

I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and when I returned to my room on the second night at 2 am, there were no towels. Then I called the front desk and about 20 minutes later someone knocked to my room with pool towels without any reason. For an international class hotel, that was terrible... But on the other hand the hotel facilities are great, rooms are clean and the bed very comfortable. I recommend this hotel and suggest some processess improvement to avoid situations like that.

The Novotel Hotel on Av. Lucio Costa is right across the street from the beautiful Barra da Tijuca beach and conveniently located just a few minutes by taxi from the Barra commercial area including the excellent Barra Shopping Center with lots of restaurants and the new office areas around it. This area is very safe for walking and it is easy to get a taxi or bus to the Barra Shopping or the Alvorada bus terminl where you can get a bus to anywhere in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Just be aware that if you want to go downtown or to the other tourist areas such as Pao de Acucar, Corcovado, Copacabana or Ipanema, you will need to allow at least an hour for traffic. The hotel itself is new and comfortably furnished. If you have a room in the front of the hotel the view is fantastic. Be sure to check out the view from the rooftop lounge at night and have a drink while you are there. The breakfast is adequate for the hotel price but there are better buffets in the area but they will cost you a lot more. Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone who has business in the Barra Shopping area but wants a hotel on the beach for the relaxation on business travel.

I choose this hotel because i have a conference at Riocentro (40 min from the hotel) and i went with my husband so he wont get bored if is close to the beach. The hotel is in front of the beach where you can jog or walk or Just enjoy the beach. The best of the hotel was the breakfast: lot of fruits, omelettes or scramble eggs, cheese, croissants and different kind of sweet or salt breads, also coffee or tea, and natural juices. The wifi works perfect. There is a pool a little bit cold and a sauna, also a good equipment to exercise in the gym. The staff in general are kind: speaks spanish and english. There is an extracharge to use the parking, but you can also use the parking lot in front of the beach. There is a bus (LECD10) that you can take in front of the hotel and goes to the closest mall Barra Shopping.

I will stay here again and again, the location and staff very friendly and willing to help in every way, is a bussines type hotel but it gives you everything you need, breakfast, room service anytime, very accommodate it, we asked for a late check up, no problem, and upgrade no problem!! I will recommend this hotel. a happy customer.

My only negative comment would be the size of the room, too small for a family stay (with 2 children), although would be excellent for a couple!!!
