Hotel Atlantico Praia

hotel bien placé, personnel accueillant, chambre standard, gros travaux en cours causant quelques désagréments, mais étant absent dans la journée, pas trop de conséquences. francais peu compris

Accueil médiocre. Hôtel en travaux non signalés lors de la réservation. Robinetterie vétuste en mauvais état de fonctionnement. Pas de double vitrage. Isolation phonique inexistante qui rend impossible de dormir côté mer. fenêtre en mauvais état difficile à manœuvrer.

Room was large but very outdated. We must have been in a room yet to be renovated. No pool on roof like we thought. Construction on multiple floors. If you are going to sleep during the day forget it. Towels were old and thin, The internet cost by the minute but was available in the lobby which was very small. Morning breakfast was actually very good with eggs and a meat plus pastries, fruit, yogurt, cereal, coffee and juice. If you hit the peak times it was hard to get a seat. The people were very nice but was very difficult to communicate if you did not speak Portuguese. They spoke enough English to get you a cab to get to the airport. Excellent location. Right across the street from the Copacabana Beach. Vans going to Christ the Redeemer was less than 1 block and we caught a city bus to get to Sugar Loaf which was only a few blocks away to catch. You have to know bus numbers (511 to get there, 512 to get back) and need to waive them down to stop or they just drive by.

Perfect location however renovations were occurring at the time which woke us up every morning and made the place untidy. Phone and tv didn't work and our room was only cleaned at 9pm after multiple requests.

The rate was low because they are still remodeling. Location on Copacabana very near the Palace Hotel is unbelievable considering the price. Breakfast is very good. Staff recommended a good restaurant at reasonable price. Drawback was that remodeling is still not done. There was no noise or bother, but our room was not completely furnished yet. Beds were new and comfortable, room was huge and completely refinished with new tile, but new chairs and dressers were not installed.

Looks much better in the internet. Hotel has contructions / repairs inside and disturbs a little. The sidewalk in front, is dirty and looks dangerous.

No hot water and the door lock was difficult to open. Informed front desk as soon as I arrived but had not fixed when I left. Needed to use the public bathroom for shower. Hotel was under renovation. Should have informed costomer before booking.

The staff helpful, the room large, clean and spacious. Unfortunately renovations were going on which did not permit sleeping in - very loud electronic machinery, etc. Ask in advance of booking if this is happening since no one will tell you. Our TV and phone stopped working and we had to change rooms but the staff was courteous and accommodating. Location cannot be beat. Affordable price may be less so once renovations are complete.
