I recently tried to stayed at the Royal Rio palace Hotel and it was a huge disappointment.First of all the room was nothing like the pictures online- dated furniture,a musty smell and the cleanliness left much to be desired. The walls had mold and the bathroom was disgusting.While the staff were unhelpful when i had issues with the room, there were no lights on the whole floor i was staying at , i went down to the front desk immediately and explained my situation and no one seemed to care. The location was not decent,Overall, i regret booking this Hotel and i will never to that hotel.I immediately asked for a refund and was denied, I couldn’t breathe with all that mold in that hotel,So i decided to go and stayed at the **Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro and it was Worth it…..
