Zona Sul, Rio de Janeiro hotel rooms at the Independent

"It was great staying here although we had to switch rooms half way through our stay due to the privacy lock, locking on its own. Otherwise we had a great stay"

"Highly recommend. Nice hotel , clean , excellent customer service , good location ."

"The view from our room is all I will remember for years to come. We stayed in 3108 and it was the best sunrise every morning. The pools and all public areas were clean and well kept up. Everything we needed was close by and the beach was setup with chairs and towels for us also. It was amazing. We will be back for sure!!"

"Um dos Elevadores a tecla do andar 16,meu andar não funcionava Me obrigando usar somente 01 elevador durante os 05 dias de minha estadia A televisão do meu quarto 1607 muitíssimo complicada o uso dos canais da rede de TV a cabo não consegui curtir durante toda a .minha eetadia Vários dos funcionários não conseguiram colocar para funcionar No restante excelente hotel Voltarei no princípio de Maio Sou cliente antigo"

"Great location and service overall. One of the breakfast area managers can work just a little on courtesy 😊"

"The location of the hotel is perfect as it’s walking distance to copacabana and a great central place to be when you want to branch out to the rest of the city. The hotel had breakfast included which was a nice touch and had a variety of options to choose from. The hotel also has a nice roof top for breaks in between the beach. Those are where the pros end. When we arrived the man at the front desk tried to charge us a full nights stay to check in early. This was apparently a negotiable price bc he knocked it down 100 rs when we said no to his 400rs price. The rooms had mold. We saw 2 roaches in the bathroom which I know are common in Brazil but I’ve been here a few times and this is the first time I’ve seen them in my room. Also the wifi did not work in our room at all. I don’t know if it was bc of the location of our room but it just wouldn’t work. We tried to ask for help. The front desk guy put it through on his Walkie but still 5 days without wifi. We could only connect in the lobby which the guy assured me should not be the case. I would not stay here again. I wouldn’t recommend to others unless it was on super sale. Next time I will just rent a local apt. It may not have amenities but I’m sure it would be better service and better wifi"

"This conveniently located hotel was fabulous!"

"Great breakfast and friendly crew"

"Great location walkable to plenty of places and Leme beach was a nice break from the heavy touristy Copacabana beach."
