Windsor Barra Hotel

Very good walkable area, beach is just crossing the street. The breakfast was great and had options for everyone. The room and bathroom were spacious. Super recommended. Don’t skip the sunset view from the rooftop

Very clean place. Very safe, lots of staff and had no problems with anyone in the area. AC doesn’t go below 25 C so it was a little hot for us. Laundry service was $$$ so don’t recommend for that. Area is well maintained and about 40 mins to 1 hour depending on traffic to center of Rio.

Nice bar, great breakfast buffet.

The rooms where very clean staff show a high level of professionalism despite the language barrier. Breakfast with varieties of choices

Massive clean room. Great view. Excellent service

Excelente

The room was clean and tidy, and great shower though the bathroom showed it's age. The staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed eating at their restaurants. I do wish there was a bottle of water in the room, it can be hard to access clean water while traveling.

lovely hotel good location good breakfast

Muy buen desayuno

I spent a week at the hotel and it was lovely. Let me start by saying that they staff there are very professional and very pleasant to interact with. The executive room was not very much to my liking, too small, and the bathroom is outdated; however, I somewhat settled because of everything else that was good. The breakfast was awesome, and I mean it. Plenty to choose from. I will definitely recommend this hotel. Ideal place to stay

lovely hotel great breakfast good location

Quiet area

Queríamos aclarar que nuestra hija quería tomar un sándwich del buffet sin saber que no se podía sacar comida. No fue por mala intención. Lamentamos si causó alguna molestia, pero nos sentimos muy incómodos por cómo nos lo dijeron, casi como si estuviéramos robando el Banco. Agradecemos que nos lo expliquen de manera más amable si vuelve a ocurrir algo así. Sentí terrible después de eso, nunca regresaré en su Windson Barra

Great place to stay. The hotel is located in a very safe area of Rio and you can do lot just walking. Staff is very friendly and polite and give a big shout to Bruno from the bell desk, and Paulo and Ademar from from the breakfast buffet.

Great location on the beach and amazing pool

Barra da Tijuca is far from the touristy areas, which appeals to me. It has a much calmer atmosphere. The hotel is within walking distance to the Sunday Farmers Market and within a cab ride away from a shopping center and the subway, which can take you to the better-known beaches of Leblon, Copacabana and Ipanema. The property was fairly clean and the staff very professional and helpful. The morning breakfast was excellent and the Saturday Feijoada buffet was not bad either. Now the bad. The hotel as some noted felt outdated. I would agree with that assessment. The hotel is not as ecofriendly as others either. It uses single use shampoo/conditioner plastic bottles instead of using the more ecofriendly in shower dispensers. The shampoo/conditioner provided were of poor quality. We ended up buying some at the grocery store. Another part that felt outdated was the in-room thermostat. It is still the old school dial instead of a digital one and there was no option to turn down the fan or set it to auto. For a high-end hotel, it did not offer family friendly rooms with queen size beds which is a shame given the room had plenty of room to support queen size beds. Another thing that I found annoying was that I was not able to charge meals to my room. The hotel did not even offer me the opportunity to have my credit card pre-approved for incidentals, which made it more difficult.

This was a wonderful location and the beach could not be closer. The breakfast was amazing and the staff was the friendliest ever!!

Wonderfull!!

Rooms are dated need upgrading

This hotel is very outdated with mould in a lot of areas and not living to its star category. I’ve stayed here 1 night and won’t return. The staff is that sort that don’t look you in the eyes and speaks in monosyllables because they don’t take any care on providing a good service. Check in takes ages for no good reason, they just need for some reason to type and type and type and type and type some more into their computer. The bedroom is super dated, the normal superior room as only 1 smallish window with a side view of the ocean with a small TV and decor from the 80s. It is relatively big though. The bathroom is also dated and full of mould, this shouldn’t be allowed.
