Apa Hotel Rio de Janeiro

Hotel location is good as been near to the beach,3 blocks away. Hotel staff attentive except that not all can speak English.Front desk are very helpful when asked on transportation to certain place of interest.

Room size was adequate but no real drawers for clothing, only closet with a few hangers were available. The TV set kept losing the picture. The airconditioner worked fine and the room was well cleaned and stocked each day. The staff were courteous and some actually spoke English which helped alot. The breakfast provided was quite adequate and was available until 11am. I would recommend this hotel.

Small and simple room, a bit noisy at night, but good value for the price and the location. Not sure how they manage to get their three stars though...

great little place for budget conscious, they treated me very well, upgrading my room to one with sky tv and a double bed very good price in great area thank you APA staff

This hotel is very well located and provides a very fair service for the price. I would recommend it to any average budget in Rio.

This was one of the worst value places we stayed at in Rio (we stayed in 3 hotels as we went off to visit other parts of Brazil). The main bad things were as follow: - The safety deposit box was tiny and it wasn't clear how to use it - The air con was extremely noisy, the window didn't shut properly and was very thin single glazed glass that didn't do anything to reduce the loud sounds from outside - It had a spongey toilet seat - first one I have ever experienced (not really sure how you go about cleaning this effectively). On the other hand, it did have one of the best showers we experienced on our trip. Super powerful and hot.

I love the people here and you culdn't get nicer people or a better deal than this. If you have a lot of money and price is no object the there are many other choices. But deal wise this is great. Made better by the outstanding staff Dennis

very pleasant stuff

Short walking distance from beach. Very nice staff. Receptionists speaking very good english.

Despite being on the last floor (the 7th, i.e. as far away from the street as possible) this was so noisy (day&night) that I run away after the 1st night. Tiny room which aside from the noise felt like a jail, good wifi Internet access; probably still a good option if you HAVE to stay in an Hotel in Copacabana (why?!? it is just a mess!). I believe anyone interested in enjoying his/her time in Rio should rent an apartment in Ipanema, or in Santa Teresa! you can find many and they're probably cheaper than any hotels, even for single travelers!
