Pleasant stay

Customer review rating 4.5/5

Anonymous Couples - 17/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The location and overall installations are very good. The negative aspect is related to the pool and the area around it. Being a hotel in front of the beach, it is expected we also have a good area to rest and get a sun, but the pool is very small and basically there is no place to stay in the sun around it. Taking this item aside, considering the very gentle staff, we have a nice stay.

Dear Guest, Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely, Tatiane Ramos Gerente Geral

Everything was very good, especially the friendliness and attention of the staff, especially Mr Cristiano, at the reception, always very attentive and helpful. I didn’t rate it 10 because the room needs maintenance

Satisfactory

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Henrique M. Couples - 18/02/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I ordered a simple empty glass and a glass with ice, I ordered room service and I am waiting until today. The next day, I made a purchase at ifood to avoid going out to eat and crowds, so I ordered 2 dishes from room service and I'm waiting with the glasses until today. When I ordered a coffee for room service, it arrived in 5 minutes. The conclusion that we draw is that: room service only serves you when it is something that will bring profit, customer satisfaction does not exist. The third problem that I noticed and that made me very scared, in none, NONE of the elevators did the security system (pass the card to ascend) work. I realized that it didn't work because dozens of people went up to the pool to take pictures and I was not a hotel guest. The fourth problem is the quality of the rooms, everything worked, but the ceiling was falling off peeled pieces, including the air conditioning grid looked like it was going to fall off anytime in our head. Indeed, I have used the Accor network in practically all of South America and in some European countries and this hotel is far from the standards I know, and the restaurant (which I imagine, is outsourced) that serves room service should be changed immediately.

Buffet réveillon poor nothing special either ambient music and food regarding "price versus quality". Miscommunication between first reception person who told us correctly our check-out date BUT didn't "make our apartment key properly" AND I make myself "up & down" 3 times AND fortunately a different receptionist person "make my apartment key properly" HOWEVER he told incorrect my check-out date. It's okay for me all described situation because I am use to travel a lot BUT it a little bit anoying. Another quick alert is the long time to deliver drink's to the swimming pool, at least 30 minutes AND I am paying an extra value for this 30 minutes delivery SO that's why the second day on swmiming pool I took the lift an get my drinks BUT I paid the extra value for your delivery service. Not good BUT anyway it's life!! Honestly, I didn't feel cleaning on my room, I meaning I feel that was a superficial cleaning BUT because I didn't stay every in the hotel, once again it's okay because it's life!! Meanwhile the ONLY nice THING was the breakfast (not all days) which I enjoy with my girlfriend AND she liked a lot indeed because Novotel have some vegan food. To conclude my expectations are below because I choose Novotel due your international name and because was my first time in Brazil. You need to improve in small details OR this is the way Brazil works for tourism.

It's not a Real Novotel

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

Silvio Luis C Friends getaway - 17/12/2018 TripAdvisor review

My wife and I went to Rio de Janeiro, to meet some old friends. In last January we were in Mercure Hotel Praia do Pepe, and was very good. At this time we choose Novotel Barra da Tijuca that is in front of our preferred Beach Bar.Location was perfect, but the service and cleanness were terrible. Even with my Gold card, check-in took about 20 minutes, and also the hotel was paid in advanced the receptionist said that they were waiting for baking confirmation.We had no room upgrade; we didn't receive any candy in the room, the room was dirty, the safety box was damaged, there were no face towels in the bathroom.It's not a Real Novotel.PS: If you need I have some room pictures.

Thanks for your coments

Although the Hotel follows the Novotel standard we have face some issues with the noise of the AC, room with some improvement needed and breakfast with plastic glasses. The food was also cold and far from the novotel quality.

luiz m Family - 12/01/2018 TripAdvisor review

We asked for reservation for the New Year's Eve dinner in October 2017, they said they would return when they had the reservations available. I arrived at the hotel on Dec 28, I requested the reservation for the supper, they told me that there was no availability. Complained with management, they said they would give me a solution. On 31 they called me offering a table after a reorganization of the space. I had already hired another place and I was very upset. In addition the service at the pool and at breakfast was poorly prepared to cater for guests and mostly children. Unsatisfactory experience.

We deeply appreciate your comment related to your experience as a guest of Novotel Rio de Janeiro Barra da Tijuca. Such information will be shared with our teams, and I am sure that your feedback will be an encouragement for us to keep improving the quality of our services.

464/5000 Novotel is a great option in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. The hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is excelent, facing the beach, with shopping malls, supermarket, restaurants and bars very close by.The hotel has a very good structure, with restaurant, bar, gym, sauna and a wonderful swimming pool with sea view. It was once again comfortable and very satisfying.
