About

Hotel Astoria Palace

Hotel Astoria Palace sits directly on Avenida Atlantica, Rio's famous beachfront avenue, placing Copacabana beach just across the road. The 26-room hotel keeps things compact, and many rooms look out over the sea. On the roof you'll find a small outdoor pool, a sauna and a steam room, plus a sun terrace where guests gather after a day on the sand.

The hotel covers the practical side of a beach stay: towels and parasols are provided for free, and the 24-hour front desk can arrange tours and tickets. There's also a restaurant and bar, a business centre, and valet parking. Breakfast is served on site, and the buffet earns regular praise in guest reviews.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Beachfront position on Copacabana — The hotel faces the beach across Avenida Atlantica, putting Copacabana sand and the promenade steps away. Guests consistently mention the location as a standout.
  • Complimentary beach gear — Towels and parasols are offered free for guests heading to the beach – a small perk that adds real value in a beach-centric stay.
  • Ocean views from rooms — Many rooms look out over the sea, and the rooftop pool adds another vantage point. Several guests highlight the views as a highlight of their stay.
  • Strong staff service — The reception team earns consistent praise for being helpful and welcoming, and overall staff ratings sit at 8.4 out of 10.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score is modest — The Facilities rating comes in at 5.6 out of 10, the weakest of all categories. It's an older-style hotel, so expectations around equipment and communal spaces should be adjusted.
  • Beach condition is out of the hotel's control — While the hotel is right on Copacabana, some guests note the beach itself can be dirty with litter. It's worth knowing before you book a beach-focused trip.
  • Small hotel, limited room count — With only 26 rooms, availability can be tight and the property lacks the scale of a large resort. This may appeal to some but could limit options for groups.
  • Value rating below the rest — Value scores 7.8, the second-lowest category, suggesting some guests feel prices run slightly high for what's offered, particularly given the simple room fittings.
