Hotel berhampiran Magazine Luiza, Rio De Janeiro

Dear Sirs, One of the best places one could stay in Rio de Janeiro. Very good structure inside the building and rooms. Very good breakfast and the Stilo Restaurant in the lobby near the pool. The SPA is very nice and having sauna and jacuzzi. Overall the experience has been more than satisfactory and it has been very nice to feel the hotel cares about its guests. Sometimes I had to leave to run some errands but there would always be someone of the staff keeping an eye on my Mother when I was not around. Thank you all heaps for the great stay and I shall be back! I also should make a remark I usually stay about one month in every hotel I go and therefore I have all the elements to express a legit opinion. A good hotel does feel like you are actually home and Laghetto is exactly like that. Kudos for all and most obliged once more! Anyway, I did hear the rumor that a staff member is about to write a mystery book portraying the Laghetto Stilo and all the staff as the actual book characters. Ain’t it tops? Another staff member working in the Stilo restaurant is a great singer and you see a great deal of talented people out and about, which depicts the hotel as a power force not only as a great place to stay but as well as a place where true talent runs in the veins. The drinks are superb and the food is so fine that you can come back from the beach and feast. In a certain way, Laghetto Stilo does remind me when I was a little child in Wales, where every summer I could watch the very same scenes from the hotel where I used to stay. Art, memories, nice people and a nice infrastructure. What else could someone wish for? I do enjoy a place where talent runs around and besides that, even the linen is top quality and so are the rooms. The access to the beach is very easy and all in all, the place grows on you as times passes by. Not actually willing to carry coals to Newcastle, I found here a great atmosphere and that’s the same one others should experience. They will try to accommodate every demands, or simple whims and they are all deeply experienced staff bearing know how enough to grant you what you are asking for or very close of it. The pool is enough, the hotel needs not to portray any ostentation because what they have is enough. It’s like finding a pot of gold belonging to a leprechaun at the end of a rainbow, only this time, the leprechaun will share his gold with you. Keep up with the great job! My very special thanks to the following reception staff members: *Alex * Gael * Aline * Carla * Raianny * Kivya * Evelyn * Matheus * Felipe * Cristian * Cláudio * Daniel * Mário Also my very special thanks to the messengers: *Robert * Alexandro * Carlos * Michael * Alexandre * Ronald * Gabriel * Luis If I really wanted to be quintessentially picky, I would suggest a couple of things: 1) At some point the towels were available directly at the pool site, but now they are at the reception, and the staff, already busy, still has to deal with deliv

Excelente atendimiento, personal muy cordial, buena limpieza, desayuno con bastante variedad y el restaurante es muy rico. Utilice la piscina, las toallas de playa, la reposera, las bicicletas. Excelente todo.

I lost a fly so with the free day my option was to get one hotel in the Barra Area , this because made easy the transportation in between the international airport and the city. Nice Hotel for Holliday or weekend

Excelente ubicación. Habitaciones amplias y modernas. Atención de primer nivel. Desayuno y restaurante muy buenos. Tienen servicio de playa con tumbonas

Otimo hotel com uma excelente localização perto da praia com uma ótima vista.Cafe da manhã o melhor de todos minha terceira vez no hotel .

Hotel excelente para estadia a negócios, muito limpo, e ótimo atendimento. Localização um pouco afastada, mas disponibilidade de meios de transporte com facilidade

Fiquei bastante decepcionada. Sou moradora do Rio e costumo me hospedar em hotéis por aqui em alguns fins de semana. Achei o cobertore velho, o banheiro mínimo, fui incomodada pela arrumadeira às 7:30 da manhã do domingo, me cobraram pq pedi uma taça para o serviço de quarto, piscina pequena, não tem um ambiente para curtir a vista da praia , apenas a piscina que tem poucas poltronas. O restaurante é no fundo do térreo, sem vista e escuro. Muito mal planejado. A única coisa que realmente estava boa foi o café da manhã. Excelente. De resto, não vale o custo benefício. Não retornarei.

I stayed here where my flight from Lisbon to Belo Horizonte was diverted to Rio de Janeiro due to the airport being closed due to the bad weather. So it was the airline TAP Portugal which arranged (and paid for) my stay here. And I really enjoyed it. The reception staff was really friendly, welcoming and helpful. My room had a nice view of mainly the hotel in front but also of the beach. It was clean, the beds were comfortable so just 10/10

We stayed here the 2nd time after 12 years. Picked a similar room as we had 1st time: ocean view king suite. It is a bit more expensive than their cheapest rooms, but EXCELLENT value for money. We had room on the 12th floor directly overlooking the waves with two windows. As the hotel and beach is to the south, you get BOTH sunrise and sunset view from your room...see photos attached:) Room is good size, reasonably fresh with only a bit of age and spots here and there. Cleaning is ok, and hotel is in excellent safe area with direct beach access. We much prefer Barra da Tijuca anyway, against the overhyped and crowded, expensive copacabana. But each to his own. Hotel itself (lobby etc) is nice, staff is great, restaurant has very good food. The cocktails of their bar at ground floor as well as by the pool are excellent quality and cheap (as usual in Brazil). HOWEVER... a big however... After booking directly via their ”secure” website, via Amex card, my card details were either sold or re-used by somebody at the hotel staff, as BEFORE our actual trip began, it started being used at various (online?) shops in Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte and even in Madrid. I had already a 600 euro hit (in some 10 different fraudulous shoppings) before i realized and blocked it. Lucky with Amex's good insurance policy i did not lose money directly on this, nevertheless i ended up with no Amex card on my 2-weeks Brazil trip as oi didnt have the new one yet, and in general it gave a bitter taste to this stay. Because of this i have to reduce the rating. So a word of advice: Book this hotel with confidence, BUT book it via a well-known room broker website, NOT directly thru the Windsor website!

Very good hotel with nice, large and clean room. Great breakfast and restaurant too. Staff was friendly and helpful, so staying in the hotel was pleasure for me. The only bad thing is location. It is just too far from everything. The great Barra beach is around 15-20mins uber driver, but on the way back it could take up to 1 hour, if you leave on late afternoon, when traffic gets insane. Area around the hotel is good. There are some supermarkets, 5-10mins walk on the way to Rio arena. Metropolitan Mall around 45mins walk or short uber driver. I felt very nice and safe walking to the Mall twice. If you like walking, the main beach street is great place to do that in Barra, but you need uber or taxi to get there. On the other side of the hotel is the way to Rio Centro, around 2km. All in all, very good hotel, but a little far away from everything.
