Zona Oeste, Rio de Janeiro hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very good Breakfast"

"Hotel excelente! Ficamos alguns dias em Copacabana, e depois fomos passar alguns dias na Barra devido a ser mais tranquilo. Como na Barra tudo é muito longe, alugamos um carro para poder ficar nesse hotel. O hotel é excelente, fica dentro de um shopping com muitas opções de restaurantes maravilhosos, e ainda tem o famoso bar do Zeca pagodinho bem a baixo do hotel 😍. Café da manhã muito bom! Quartos grandes muito bons! Equipe desde a recepção até a equipe de limpeza, são maravilhosos! Super indico esse hotel a todos! "

"The room definitely needs renovations; the furniture looked old, and the bathroom was particularly disappointing, with signs of mold and stains on the sink. Daily cleaning was underwhelming, although the room service was excellent. The reception staff’s attitude left much to be desired. Be cautious at checkout: we were charged for minibar items we did not consume—two bottles of water totaling R$24—even though we were certain we didn’t touch anything. The receptionist insisted, and while we didn’t argue, it was frustrating. Checkout itself also takes a long time. Location wise: if you want a quieter, sauter and cleaner neighborhood, it is good but it is far from all the tourist attractions. Overall, the hotel does not meet typical 4-star standards. "

"Angelo was an amazing front desk, he went above and beyond to help me with directions and providing area details - I’m very happy with my stay in this hotel, thank you!!"

"Beach view. "

"I've been staying at this hotel since 2022, based on a recommendation. I've lived in the United States for 30 years, and I'm delighted with the place. The route flexibility, security, and especially all the staff are excellent. I always arrive super tired, and the staff are always there to help me! I go to Brazil frequently for work; my job is in aviation. And this last time, a young man named Rodrigo was spectacular!! The hotel was full, with events, and he did everything to accommodate me. And I hope CDesign appreciates this young man!! He has admirable talent. An excellent employee."
