Great located and fair priced Hotel at Copacabana and really close to Ipanema. Staff is really friendly and helpful, great breakfast and a nice small Pool area on the roof with a nice view.
The rooms could be a little better maintained but they are still clean and nicely furnished.
Many bars, restaurants and small supermarkets around and the area seems to be pretty safe. Easy to reach by Taxi/Uber from Santos Dumont airport.response / report this review -

Great spot a half block from the beach, and reasonable prices, about $100 USD a night in January.

Pleasantly surprisedan excellent choice with access to both Copacabana and Ipanema!
This was our first visit to Rio and focused on a budget hotel that would allow us easy walking access to both Copacabana and Ipanema. The price, reviews and clean lines and design cues viewable on Google reviews led us to choose Rio Design.
We arrived late at 11pm on Friday night and were greeted warmly at the front desk. After some friendly conversation and overview of the hotel curiosities, we learned that our double room had been upgraded to luxury double. Excellent staff! Leading into the pros/cons view of this hotel:
PROS
The room (luxury double) was simply huge - 2x the size of a standard room with a massive, comfortable and well appointed bed to match
Wall mounted television and air conditioning units are a nice touch.
No carpeting anywhere in this hotel, in-room or otherwise, makes for a modern and clean experience.
Rooftop pool and lounge views are outstanding (see pictures).
Breakfast service is great
Location is perfect
Free WiFi works reliably
Price is amazing relative to level of comfort and amenities
Again, all staff members very friendly and helpful and will accommodate most any request
CONS
Shower and bathroom area could use some fresh grout/caulking
Several TV channels were blank/unavailable
Restaurant/breakfast room a little small for the volume of guests
No gate or security at front door, free to walk in from the street (disclaimer we did not witness any uninvited guests trying to enter and felt perfectly safe, just something to consider)
Overall we are very pleased with our choice of Rio Design and would not hesitate to book again and refer any travelers to Rio to consider this excellent hotel.response / report this review -

Good hotel for reasonable price. Big room but could be cleaner (even if acceptable).
