Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
From the moment I arrived, the service was excellent. I got in late, but check-in was quick and smooth, and Leo from guest services, kindly helped carry my luggage to the room which was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and alternatives were available on request. Throughout my stay, the staff were incredibly helpful and always greeted me around the hotel. Special shoutout to Ismael from the breakfast team and also Leo, from guest services, both were fantastic and truly made a difference during my stay. The location is perfect, and any queries I had were answered promptly. The hotel also offers currency exchange, which was a convenient bonus. There was a warm, friendly atmosphere at the hotel which made it even more enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and would love to stay again.

The hotel was nice and clean. I had a corner room on the second floor, There wasn’t much of a view but it was still nice. I enjoyed drinks at the rooftop pool. The views were beautiful. Especially at night. The pool is very small and I never saw anyone in the pool. I ordered room service one night and was surprised how delicious it was. Breakfast wasn’t too bad. The Location of the hotel is perfect, close to shopping, restaurants and the metro. Staff was courteous and friendly. I would stay here again.

My wife and I were detained at the Rio airport because we didn’t know about the new visa requirement to enter Brazil for Canada, United States and Australia that came in to effect on April 10/2025 with no notice from the airline or Expedia. I contacted the hotel and Expedia immediately after being detained to make them aware of the situation, the hotel refused to refund any of the $1,614.67 I had paid for 5 nights plus breakfast Expedia refunded $242.20 and the hotel kept the rest. The hotels excuse was that I was a no show, pretty hard to show up when we were being detained by immigration and deported to Canada. Very poor customer service, would not recommend this hotel.

The hotel was very neat as well as having so many options for the breakfast . The staff were friendly and always answered my questions. Great location as it is right infront of the beach and never in any time did I feel unsafe . For the price I will surely go there again .

Was super excited to stay here for my first trip to Brazil. While the staff was friendly, I would never stay at a Windsor property again. The WiFi didn’t work, I had a view of a brick wall (while staying on the beach), the pool is super tiny, room service was good but one night received a completely raw burger, and they wouldn’t allow any of my friends up to me room with me. They have a very strange and strict policy that doesn’t allow anyone upstairs who isn’t staying at the hotel. This felt excessive and frustrating—especially considering we were not occupying any shared space or causing a disturbance.
