We stayed one night at the Regency Park Hotel in Rio de Janeiro and had a lovely experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well kept, which made it easy to relax after a long day of travel. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a great variety of options, definitely a highlight of our stay. What truly stood out most, though, was the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and extremely helpful. Their hospitality made us feel genuinely cared for and added a personal touch to our visit. We would happily stay here again and recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rio and who wants to be in city.

The hotel may not be in the best part of Rio but it is a very nice hotel.
Our twin bed room was very clean, comfortable and spacious with a lovely bathroom with powerful shower.
Breakfast was very good with a choice of hot or cold food. We had dinner a couple of evenings and the food was excellent and service from the waiting staff was excellent.
We would definitely stay here again and the prices were very reasonable.

The breakfast and catering team are second to none. The hotel needs to focus on communication and not taking advantage of clients.

It was an ok property. The hotel charged us for mini bar drinks that we didn’t consume. We were late and communicating was challenging so we just paid the bill anyway, but it was frustrating. Staff was not friendly or particularly helpful. Pet much did the bare minimum.
