Royalty Barra Hotel Rio de Janeiro

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The view from our room on the 12th floor was absolutely breathtaking. We could see the clean ocean and the Tijuca Islands from our window. The location of the hotel was also a big plus. It was right near the beach in the more recently developed Barra da Tijuca area. There were also many shopping malls close by, making it convenient for us to do some shopping. The breakfast provided by the hotel was delicious and had a wide variety of options. The staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring that we had a pleasant stay.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Great location with shops, beach, restaurants nearby. Vibrant neighborhood with bars and stores. Convenient beachfront access.

Almost perfect.

The balcony view was stunning, extending our stay. Convenient location near restaurants, bars, and shops, with a good beach in front. Quiet neighborhood, and the room's view was exceptional. Nice pool, safe environment, and close to good restaurants and shops.

Great location, right by the beach and close to restaurants. Fantastic breakfast, with a wide variety of delicious food. Free amenities, such as Wi-Fi and parking.

Poor customer service, with rude and unhelpful front desk staff. Basic rooms and outdated amenities.

The location of the hotel was incredible, just steps away from the beach and surrounded by great restaurants. We loved being able to walk right out the door and have the beach at our fingertips. The room had a breathtaking view of the ocean, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of tasty options.

The front desk staff were less than helpful when it came to arranging transportation for us.

We loved the location of this hotel - right on the beach at the more recently developed "Barra da Tijuca". It was amazing to wake up and have the beach right in front of us. The staff was helpful and the service room was fantastic. We loved the air conditioning and the mini-bar. The balcony was a great place to sit and take in the view. The 24-hour reception was very convenient.

That we had to pay extra for the wi-fi. However, we would still recommend this place to family.

I couldn't have asked for a better location during my stay. The hotel was just a short walk away from the magnificent beach, with stunning views right from my room. At night, all the bustling bars and restaurants were just around the corner, creating a lively atmosphere. Although there were some noise and crowds, it added to the charm of the area. The hotel rooms on higher floors provided amazing views, making the experience even more enjoyable. Despite a few hiccups like the friendly concierge service and subpar breakfast, this hotel has great potential for improvement. One downside was the unexpected charge for ice, which seemed quite excessive. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was not free, with high hourly and daily rates. Nevertheless, the hotel provided beach towels, sunshades, and folding chairs at no additional cost. Although the elevators were under maintenance, lowering rates instead of just apologizing would have been more appreciated. I had a pleasant stay at Royalty Barra and would recommend it to others.
