Good location for family and close to the beach. The hotel itself could use a facelift. The room was dark and old with things falling apart. Not enough elevators for the amount of people in the hotel. The positive was the breakfast. A lot of options to choose from but it was very crowded for most of the morning. The staff was very nice, cordial and helpful. The rooftop has a nice view and I wish that’s where breakfast was served.

Location was good. But doesn't appear to be 4 star property. Facilities were minimalistic. However staff especially the restaurant and kitchen was very helpful. I would like to specially thank Mr. Arouimedes for helping me by heating my pre cooked food.

May 28, 2025

Location was good but property was bad. We arrived earlier and even though the room was ready when we asked to check in early and we were charged a whole nights stay. But the room they charged us for was dirty and stank. We asked 3 times for this to be resolved, but the room wasn’t cleaned properly until 24 hours later. On that basis I don’t feel we should have been charged. The problems with the room was continuing, the bathroom had no ventilation, there black mould on the walls, the room is never cleaned properly, you cannot open windows for proper ventilation so there is a continuing odd smell in the room, our safe kept breaking, the room walls are like paper so there is a lot of noise. The rooftop is nice but two evenings I wanted a drink at the roofto but wasn’t able to use it because there were other parties up there. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again

Good Choice in Leme, Rio!

The Novotel Leme is by far the best Novotel in Rio! It’s been refurbished and room are brand new. If it wasn’t for the bed (too hard and uncomfortable), it would surely be a 5*. Special congrats to the breakfast team! Samyr, Denise and Sr. Marcos made it a great experience and exceeded my expectations for a pleasant start of the day! Great services, guys!

All good. Great location. Very good breakfast. Gym is workable with an awesome view. All staff were outstanding. Leme is the beginning of that long strip of beach and road thru end of copa cabana which made it super convenient... virtually same beach experience.... more night life and upscale restaurants in Copa Cabana... but plenty of options in Leme... I'd opt to stay in Leme rathher than Copa Cabana.

Nice, new, clean hotel thats close to Copacabana. Nice rooftop deck and pool with a bar. Staff was generally friendly and helpful. However, I dont think they were quite equipped for the crowds at Carnaval so the breakfast buffet was a little disappointing...they had some people eat in a conference area with less selections. All in all, a decent value and I'd recommend to others.

The hotel was in a good location (close to leme beach). We paid extra for a room with a sea view and what we got was a small gap between 2 buildings in front so not worth the extra cost. The staff were somewhat helpful but it felt like they were disorganised and not hugely helpful with booking excursions. Breakfast buffet was poor. There was a very limited amount of hot food and was the same hot food every day. Only one type of eggs. A big selection of cakes but no continental pastries. Only 3 options of cereals and there didn’t appear to be any dairy free alternatives. When asked if we could refund the remaining days of breakfast as we were sick of scrambled egg and soupy sausage, the staff said it would be too complicated and did not seem interested in our feedback on what was lacking or how it could be improved. Housecleaning was below average. On 2 separate occasions the bedding that had been put on fresh was damp and there were tears to the duvet cover. On a separate day, there was blood droplets on the underside of the duvet so we hadn’t noticed until we turned the bed down to go to sleep. I called housekeeping and it took them a while to change the bedding. The maid turned up and spent 20 mins changing the bedding whilst intermittently texting and calling people on her phone.

Foi minha primeira experiência neste hotel, embora já tenha me hospedado em diversos hoteis da rede Accor, inlcluindo da marca Novotel. Posso dizer que não gostaria de voltar a me hospedar nesta unidade específica. Primeiramente o preço estava muito alto (por causa do evento da COP Rio), no entanto o serviço entregue foi de hotel barato. Faltavam profissionais em quase todas as frentes: frequentemente havia fila na recepção, o serviço de limpeza no quarto era difícil de conseguir no momento certo, o serviço no restaurante as vezes era lento e falho, as máquinas de café do café da manhã estavem quase sempre com defeito, os procedimentos gerais do hotel eram ruins e claramente faltava treinamento para algumas pessoas (ou eles estavam desesperados por falta de pessoal e faziam de forma rápida e descuidada?). Foi realmente uma experiência ruim, e posso dizer que a pior experiência em um hotel de nivel equivalente que já tive. Creio que a liderança da rede Accor deva avaliar o potencial impacto que a economia excessiva de pessoal para maximizar o lucro em uma unidade específica pode gerar na marca Novotel no mundo todo, visto que a maioria dos hóspedes eram estrangeiros!
