The breakfast had a good selection of food and was well cooked. the staff were polite and willing to help with any issue that arose during our stay. the hotel had a great location with a subway station close by, easy access to buses and main roads.

The main road close by seemed unsafe with homeless people hanging around. the amenities offered were limited for the price we paid, with no gym or swimming pool.

The people were friendly, but couldnt speak very well in english, i liked the breakfast.

de Radio and TV was pretty shit

In terms of value for money it was the better of many.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, as it was very close to the Metro and the Gloria subway station. It was also conveniently close to the main roads and buses, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful, providing prompt resolutions to any queries I had. The breakfast selection was outstanding, with a rich variety of fruits and well-cooked food. Additionally, the hotel was clean and offered good value for money.

Nothings

Room spacious and cleaned very well every day. Good breakfast menue. TV broke down but was changed right away. Very good customer service

The room was nice, the food was nice

Arranged tour with hotel desk staff only to find out I paid 40 Reis than the tour was priced.Someone must have pocketed the difference.Taxi to the airport was arranged by staff and wanted a set price of 60 Reis, if you insist on the meter it was only 40. This type of opportunistic dishonesty leaves a sour taste in the mouth of travellers. I would not go back to this hotel based on this experience.

Polite staff, close to subway and buses, excellent breakfast, clean, good value.

Nothing to be said.

The helpfulness of the staff, inclusion of free internet (very fast), included car parking, and the close proximity to Gloria Metro station, make this hotel a good choice for me.

The hotel has an absolutely insane policy regarding visitors to rooms. I had a nice room booked as a double room with a separate foyer with four-chair glass table and a bar. I had intended to use this room, separate from the bedroom, for taking Portuguese lessons. On two different occasions, tutors arrived for a Portuguese session (I had two different tutors, one male, one female), but the hotel insisted that they could only stay in the room beyond 30 minutes if I paid an extra charge of BRL54. I believe this policy is related to the common habit of hotels in Brazil making an extra charge for gentlemen to bring a girl into the room (for, possibly, amorous pursuits?). If so, it is a policy that has gone berserk when it is applied to normal business activity. The inflexibility of the hotel caused me considerable inconvenience and loss of valuable time. The hotel's policy per above is not listed on the Magic Palace Hotel entry on Booked.net, and is thus misleading. For this trip, I wouldn't have booked to stay at the Magic Palace Hotel had I known. My recommendation of the hotel is limited to anybody who has no need for anybody else to be in the room for more than 30 minutes.

The location close to the metro (Gloria) is very good for sight seeing in Rio. The room was big, clean and with an amazing bathroom. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The breakfast buffet was great, with a wide selection of delicious food. The staff was also friendly and provided prompt resolution to any queries or issues we had. the location of the hotel was excellent, especially during the city trip.

There were several negative aspects during our stay. The wifi was constantly disconnecting which made it difficult to work online.

Good facilities

Few english spoken by the staff

The kindness of the Hotel Staff.

It is an adapted hotel. It was clearly first built to be an "Brazilian Motel" (Rooms with all the ammenities not to sleep, but to make sex), with lots of mirrors, bathtube with Jacuzzi, Sauna, etc. If you don´t want to answer such kind of questions, do not consider it as a stay with your family.

Review:

If you're looking for a hotel close to the metro, Metropole Rio is the perfect choice. With its proximity to the Gloria subway station, you'll have easy access to explore the city. the hotel is also conveniently located in the center, making it a convenient base for your activities. do be aware that the area surrounding the hotel has a crime element, so take necessary precautions.

Despite some negative reviews mentioning noisy rooms and limited amenities, the hotel offers a rich breakfast selection and friendly staff who provide prompt resolutions to any queries.

Good location, reasonably priced hotel.

Very few people from the stuff could speak english.

The staff were nice and helpfull and it was the best of 5 hotels we stayed in.Erica and sandra were very helpfull.
