Frommer's Review

If you don't mind being off the waterfront, the Copacabana Sol offers good value and pleasant accommodations only 4 blocks from Copacabana beach. Much of the money obviously went into the lobby; with its colorful furniture and modern art, it borders on funky. Rooms were not neglected, however, nor were the suites. The latter, in particular, are a great deal. Spacious and cool with granite floors, the suites have a comfortable sitting room and gorgeous bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and separate showers. The superior and standard rooms have very small bathrooms with showers only. Superior rooms overlook the street and have balconies and a small sitting area. As the Rua Santa Clara is not too noisy (especially at night), these rooms are preferable to the alley-facing standard rooms (which also lack balconies).

Facilities:
Restaurant; tour desk; concierge; business center; room service; laundry

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
