Copa Sul Hotel

There's plenty of choice at breakfast, and the rooms are nice and clean. The place is just one block from the beach, with lots of options around, so it's a good address overall. The elevators are a bit outdated and slow. Since the building has 16 floors, getting to your floor can sometimes take 10 minutes. If you're leaving late, storing your luggage can be a problem.

The location is a plus: one block from Copacabana, and the breakfast selection was large. The stay itself was awful. The staff weren't friendly and had trouble communicating in English. For a 3-star hotel costing over 100 euros a night, they didn't provide complimentary water and wouldn't issue an invoice when I asked. The room smelled of damp and mold. The bathroom was cramped with no ventilation, and the old furnishings looked dirty. 🤢😤

The only downside I noticed was that there's no swimming pool on the property. Otherwise, it's a great place to stay, just 2 blocks from Copacabana beach, with friendly people, great service, and a wonderful breakfast buffet.

The staff were generally friendly and breakfast was alright, but this place needs serious investment and more thorough room cleaning. Until then, I'd look elsewhere. It may have been a 3-star hotel once, though I doubt it would earn that rating today. The rooms are generally well furnished, but everything feels past its heyday, with outdated features like showers without a mixing faucet and in-wall air conditioners. Look closely and you'll find stains and holes. The windows and mirrors in my room were quite dirty, and an insect crawled onto my bed when I arrived. There was no mosquito protection, though it was certainly needed. I'm also fairly sure the shower had a mold problem, which is a health concern.
