6/10 Good

The staff was very nice and helpful and the transportation we arranged through the hotel was good and felt safe. I booked a junior suite and was not impressed. The air conditioning barely worked and in only half the room so the “living room” area was always hot and stuffy. The bathtub drain was plugged so during each shower I also was almost taking a bath simultaneously. The toilet ran non-stop. The floor was covered in sand upon arrival and never got better with each room clean. They did provide robes and slippers in the room which was nice. I did absolutely love the rooftop pool and bar area. Very pretty view of the Atlantic, delicious drinks and one of the best hamburgers I’ve had. The oool is perfect.

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

Everything ok. Nice Hotel..The only con is they spray too much air freshner in the room, is very invasive. People very nice. Very good Breakfast. Furniture a little old style, it has a 1980s/90s vibe." It' s time for a furniture makeover to modernize the guest rooms

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.

Room was a little run-down with use. Our toilet was, unfortunately, clogged which was a real bummer. It was fixed the next day but not very welcoming. We had to specifically ask for a sheet change as a dirtied sheet was left in place by housekeeping. During a few days stay, two if 4 elevators were constantly out of order, making wait time long and annoying, especially during meal times. Breakfast buffet was great, in presentation, quality and selection. The hotel location is fabulous! Staff was helpful.

The stay was nice. I will say The cleaners didn’t do very well with sweeping the floors. I went to the beach every day and the floors were still sandy after it was “cleaned”. The breakfast was a waste of money. Im still trying to get my money back for the breakfast. You are better off going to the restaurant across the street for breakfast it was better, more fresh, and cheaper. The juice at the hotel breakfast was good . That was the only thing. The fruit wasn’t fresh, i don’t eat meat so i cant tell you how that was. Over all the stay was good , i just want my money back for the breakfast. I only ate there once and i paid for a week.

This hotel doesn’t deserve its five-star rating and needs serious renovation. It’s a massive property overrun with noisy tourists and families. Pros: Spacious, comfortable room. Friendly staff. Cons: Slow, undersized elevators. Restaurant feels like a cruise ship cafeteria. You must cross a busy highway to reach the beach (with long traffic light waits), and there’s no beach service. Severely understaffed with long check-in/check-out lines. Staff is compartmentalized and inefficient despite being helpful. Verdict: Skip it unless you’re on a tight budget. This is not a five-star experience.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Disappointing experience with inflexible management I booked a Superior room but was initially assigned an accessible room designed for guests with disabilities. When I requested a standard room as originally booked, I was charged a supplement – an unacceptable practice for a hotel in this category. The staff operates with the rigidity of civil servants: procedurally correct but completely inflexible. Any deviation from standard protocol seems impossible, regardless of the circumstances. Skip the breakfast. The beachfront cafés along Barra offer far superior quality at half the price. The hotel’s breakfast room resembles a ferry cafeteria – relentlessly noisy and packed with screaming young children. Not the atmosphere one expects when paying premium rates. Unfortunately, this reflects the broader reality of Barra: large convention hotels designed for mass tourism and corporate events. The Windsor fits squarely in this category – efficient processing of guests with minimal attention to individual service. If you’re attending a conference or need beachfront access, it serves its purpose. If you’re seeking genuine hospitality, look elsewhere in Rio.

Great experience! It’s a bit old but very well maintained. The pool area is amazing! The only minus is the gym - it’s small and poorly equipped

I'm feeling a bit conflicted about my stay, it was only two days. Positives: Great location Clean room Friendly reception staff and bellboys Nice rooftop bar/view Negatives: *Dirty water in the shower one day, probably a water line up the street burst *Completely chaos during breakfast! You have to wait 10 minutes to get a coffee and 20 minutes to get your omelet. *Pool on the rooftop is mainly for kids and cooling down in. *A French man sitting at the nearby table (rooftop) having a beer was almost treated like a criminal because he wanted to charge it to his room. He was not allowed to go to his room to get his credit cards! .. So I paid for it.. All in all, I will not stay here again, it's a tourist machine..

This was a nice hotel and worth the price. However, the rooms were relatively simple and the television offered little options for international travelers. The morning breakfast buffet was a little overpriced in our opinion. The staff were all very nice and pleasant.
