Definitely overpriced hotel. The room and furnitures are old and outdated. They charge 99 BRL for breakfast, which is not worth to pay. Note that they didn't grant any Expedia discount for the breakfast, which they don't mention during check-in.

Being our 4th visit to a Windsor in Copacabana and our 3rd at the Excelsior we have a level of familiarity, and expectations which are consistently met. The staff on the ground level and front desk, the room cleaning staff, and of course the whole roof top crew are always professional and we have never been let down. Obviously we'll be back again.

The hotel/staff/location were great. Great view of the beach from the 5th floor. AC is powerful. The breakfast is amazing! The shower pressure is fantastic. The doors/walls are thin, so you can hear noisy neighbors sometimes. There wasn't a lot of room for clothes (we were there for 2 weeks and had a lot of clothes).

Avoid!

Hotel super dated, our room had a few damaged things, such as floor boards. The flush was a joke, basically not working. Hotel staff were not very helpful. Our room was not very clean and the pool was also dirty. I would never stay in this hotel again. The only positive thing about this place was the water pressure and location.
