Regency Barra Hotel
8/10 Good
"If you like beach, this is great location. Breakfast is big and delicious. Many restaurants in walking distance. Uber is really quick to pick you up. Pool and Gym are so so, they are on eleventh floor with beautiful views. This is a busy hotel with mostly Brazilians as their guests. Rooms are ok and toilet is poor but shower is good. Lots of shelving and drawers to put your clothes. Also had a safe for valuables. Overall I would give it a 7.8/10. "
"The staff was welcoming and accommodating. There are multiple different food options. The beach walkout was great. You can literally sit on the beach all day and staff will wait on you. Vendors are on the beach as well. "
"Loved this hotel. It was amazing. The staff were welcoming and the hotel itself was a gem. The view, the food, the pool, and there is a beach across from the hotel. Definitely will use it again when I come back to Rio."
"The front desk staff was very helpful. It’s in the perfect location in Rio. It’s at the Apex of Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach. The rooms were a bit small, but had everything that I needed. I would also recommend a room with a view. The courtyard view is facing another apartment. "
"The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with any questions. The room was very clean, well-organized, and comfortable throughout my stay. The breakfast was simple, but quite tasty, with fresh options that were enough to start the day well. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I would consider staying here again."
