Residence Inn by Marriott Rio de Janeiro Barra da Tijuca

The staff were excellent and very accommodating.

The location is out of the way. The only way to get to the hotel is to go past the hotel, head south, then turn around and come back to the hotel. Plus nothing really close to it for us ... unless you are using some of the sporting complexes nearby.

The waiters/servers and another guy were excellent at the restaurant. The receptionists and house keeping staff were very accommodating and professional. The hotel is beautiful.

Hotel was fine. what you expect from a Marriott so could have been anywhere but reliable plumbing, comfy bed etc. staff were pleasant. pool area OK.

We got mugged at gun point less than 5min from the hotel. Not their fault and one member of staff was amazing, took us to the police station etc but we were later told it had happened a few times...no one told us when we arrived or we wouldn't have walked! And despite having no money or phones the manager refused to sort a free airport transfer. So not the best end to the trip.

Facilities were pretty (except the pool, very small for the size if the hotel) and food was great and with good variety

Check in was not as smooth as I expected it to be, but the rest of the stay was nice

Friendly staff, restaurant food & breakfast

Very very long wait at the check in. The room was not ready even at 4:30pm. They did offer coffee and croissants while we had to wait. For such a large hotel they should have more reception staff.

Been returning to this property again and again when need to spend time in Rio. Clean and comfortable with a great staff.

Staff was really friendly and helpful, the bed and pillows are super comfy, the pool area is lovely.

The restaurant is not particularly good for dinner although breakfast was nice with plenty of options

The breakfast was great, and the people working there were some of the best, especially a few folks I would name here: Gabriela, Amanda, Rui, Geovan, Bianca, Monique, and Carlos. On top of this, the people at the reception were also great, especially Laura, Daniel, Hugo and Mayra. I could tell stories about each of them during my stay there, such a pleasure staff.The hotel location is good if you have a car or are ok to take Ubers every where. I rent a car and was able to leave in front of the hotel for free, but they also have a valet that could park for you. It's close from the Barra da Tijuca beach, but not too close you could walk.There is a BRT station right in front but it's a bit scary to get there specially at night, no one is around.

I would like to have free water, I had to fill my bottle every day on the gym or on the breakfast. The pool and the gym was close too early, by 8PM.

The room is spacious, complete and the teamIs very helpful.

The location makes you depend of a car or Uber.

Staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Kudos to Auguste at the Bistro and Stephanie who assisted with the check in. And all the restaurant staff.Breakfast was hearty. Appreciated the hot station, and the fresh fruit selection. Spacious living area as we had the one bedroom suite.

Took much longer to get into town or the nearby shopping area than expected. Traffic is bad. And the hotel is located around a bend so the drivers all need to do a separate turn around to get to and from the hotel. Room was a little dusty. No bedroom slippers.

Otherwise fit the description and stars, even the staff spoke English ;)

everything was fine except for the wifi (it took 10-20 minutes to connect each time). And the ATM was not working.

Wonderful staff and very good customer services around the restaurant and front office area. Very helpful and supportive for every guest .. those two guys are amazing supportive staff .

Very remote area away from the center and we were staying at residence building which is very old furniture and kitchenette. Housekeeping must improve the services

The staff were always welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious, with enough expected amenities. The breakfast was very diverse, with fresh materials, nice collection and changes day over day.

The sound isolation from the adjacent rooms was terrible. This definitely affected the comfort. The bed was not as comfy as expected from a Marriot.

It was good, but not enouhg proteins too many bread, would like more healthy choices

Pleasant

Poor breakfast. Some basic products missing: water, ham, cream cheese. Some of them were brought for us, after a long wait.

The staff was great. Beatrice was always so friendly and Alice was a joy to speak with.

No hot water in my shower, TV was absolutely horrible in the bedroom, no simple amenities like paper towels, dish soap even though the kitchen was in the room. I'd say it was less than basic. They really need to modernize the rooms.

I really like the enviroment and the kitchen

The restaurant was amazing, and the staff just excellent

price on snacks and beer

Services and staff were great

Lack of fresh air in the room due to windows without opening.

The Breakfast buffet was very good and the hotel was very nice

No complaints at all
