DK Eyewitness "This beachside fourstar hotel is the Ipanema representative of the Best Western chain. Rooms are a little small with standard hotel furnish ings. The higher floors are quieter."
Time Out "The rooms are clean, well equipped and unremarkable affairs, but if you have the beach view and the sun is out then the lack of luxury indoors is probably going to be the least of your considerations." Full review
Star Service "Fronting a police post in the heart of Ipanema beach, one block from the famous Girl from Ipanema bar, near popular cafes and fashionable shops, this...hotel has an unbeatable location." Full review
National Geographic "Opposite the Posto 9 lifeguard station; one block from Garota de Ipanema bar." Full review

The Telegraph7.0
"It boasts a top location, well-meaning staff and decent food, and yet possesses a total lack of character, real comfort or true value for money.

You should still avoid the standard rooms, which are smaller and face the back of the building.
Lonely Planet "Set in a handsome, white building overlooking Copacabana beach, the Olinda Othon is indeed a classic." Full review
Time Out "Located on the Copacabana beachfront, the Othon classic has something of a boutique feel not found in many of its local competitors." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"The Olinda Rio Hotel has two main draws -- its central Copacabana location right on the beachfront, and its charming Art Deco style, particularly in common areas." Full review
