ibis budget RJ Copacabana

Well located & good price! Clean room, basic but fine breakfast. The room is very simple, but it's ok, there's TV (not smart), good Wi-Fi, shower is fine. I felt the employees were not so polite. It's a good cheap chain hotel, you'll feel safe and comfortable.

My four-night stay here while visiting RJ couldn’t have been better and more suited for my basic needs as a solo traveler. I knew coming in that I wouldn't be receiving luxury, spaciousness, or any big perks common at higher-end chains—I booked for the unbeatable $29 price and wonderful location, and nothing more. So if you’re expecting anything extra, this isn’t the property for you. But I really enjoyed my stay!! The staff, especially a super nice woman at check-in whose name I dreadfully forget, made my visit special. Everyone was willing and excited to help with anything I needed, including supplying me copious bottles of water to last me the week. When I needed a wheelchair-accessible taxi to pick up my wheelchair when it lost battery, the aforementioned woman was so kind and helpful for calling local companies and their drivers to find someone on a moment’s notice. Thank you! The rooms were definitely small and basic, but they were clean and in far better shape than most Ibis properties I would end up staying at while in Europe in June 2022. My electric wheelchair just barely fit through the door and into the space. Knowing that all I really needed at a hotel on my RJ trip was just a bed to lay my head on, the Ibis Budget provided me that, put simply. I also requested a room facing the interior apartment block area (i.e. away from the street), and noise levels were perfect for my sensitive ears. Traffic in RJ isn’t too noisy anyway, but I recommend these rooms for anyone in any case. Stays like these are what make me grateful to be a loyal newcomer to Accor and their rewards program. I very much enjoyed my stay, and for your wallet’s sake, I recommend booking here. And the location…mere blocks from Copacabana! Thank you!

This hotel is not on the seafront but it is a short walk to the beach so you get no views of Copacabana. If you want luxury or fancy this is not the choice for you. I was in a wheelchair accessible room (despite having no disability) which was slightly larger than the standard room with a large bathroom with shower (no bath). The rooms are basic and have no real storage in them so I was living out of my suitcase. Also the room has no safe so bring something you can lock things away. Apart from that the only little niggle was the broken curtain which could disturb sleep for some but I always travel with a eye mask. The staff were lovely and I tried my best to speak some Portuguese/Spanish but sometimes I did struggle. Breakfast was included in the price but again lower your expectations as it is limited (cereal, breads, pastries, ham and cheese and scrambled eggs) but it was filling. I slept very well which personally is the most important thing I rate and the Wi-Fi worked all the time which has not been the case in some more expensive hotels I have stayed in. If you want amenities then this is not the hotel for you but if you need a clean basic room that is not in a hostel or a dated B&B then it is an ideal choice.

If you are looking for a cheap hotel and this is the only thing that interest you, this is the place But you have to know that the rooms are very small, you don’t have even a fridge in the room, they don’t have a restaurant You can find a lot of nicer places to be in Rio , especially if you are coming for a holiday

This was my second time to Rio, but first time staying in Copacabana. The hotel is superbly located. Easy walk to supermarket, bakeries, to the beach. Felt comfortable walking at night. The front desk staff were great! Efficient and friendly, as were the gentlemen that greet you at by the front doors each day. My room had everything I needed. It is not fancy but clean and suited my purpose. Have a comfortable stay and look forward to my return. Thank you!
