Royal Regency Palace Hotel
I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Royal Regency Palace Hotel! From the moment I booked until check-out, the service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. The hotel is perfectly located for exploring Rio, just a short walk from major attractions and surrounded by great restaurants. My room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, making it a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. The value for money is outstanding—luxury comfort without the luxury price tag. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this gem to everyone.
Mengo Palace Hotel
I absolutely loved my stay at Mengo Palace Hotel—so much so that I’m already planning to return. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The location is unbeatable for exploring Rio’s South Zone—walking distance to beaches, restaurants, and local charm. The bathtub was a real highlight—perfect for relaxing after a day out. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. The TV remote could be better, but honestly, who spends hours watching TV? It’s a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent experience. Clean, welcoming staff, great ambiance, and a prime spot make this hotel a standout choice. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, well-located place to stay in Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant South Zone. Definitely coming back!
360 Rio Santos Dummont
Staying at 360 Rio Santos Dummont was a fantastic experience. Located right in the heart of the historic city center, it’s just a short walk from public transport and within easy reach of Lapa—home to an amazing array of trendy bars and lively clubs. The apartment itself is spacious and well-designed, with a comfortable bed that made for restful nights. The bathroom was clean and modern, and every feature worked perfectly. High-speed Wi-Fi was a real plus—no buffering, even during long streaming sessions. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully put together, and the location can’t be beat. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.
B&B Hotel Santos Dumont
Perfect for a quick visit to Rio for consulate appointments! This B&B Hotel Santos Dumont is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the airport, making early check-ins or late departures stress-free. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It’s not just about location—it’s the overall experience that stands out. Great value for money, especially if you’re only here for a few days. Would definitely recommend to travelers on a tight schedule.
Hotel Monte Castelo
The hotel's location is definitely its biggest highlight—just a short walk from Gloria Metro station, making it super convenient for getting around Rio. It’s also quiet at night, which was a pleasant surprise. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to ensure a comfortable stay. The Wi-Fi is a bit of a letdown—it’s slow and tends to drop frequently, but that’s something that could be easily improved. One suggestion: since there’s no breakfast or coffee area, having an electric kettle in each room would be a great addition. That way, guests could brew their own coffee anytime they wanted. It’s just a small idea, not a complaint. Overall, this place offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere—highly recommend for travelers looking for a quiet, well-located base in Rio.
Books Hostel
Nestled right in the vibrant heart of Lapa, Books Hostel is an unbeatable spot for solo travelers looking to connect and explore. Just a short walk or affordable ride away, you're steps from Santa Teresa's charming streets, the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain, and the beautiful beaches. The atmosphere is welcoming and safe—everyone feels at home. Staff are incredibly helpful, always ready with local tips and recommendations. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s an experience you’ll want to keep going back to. Hard to leave, but absolutely worth every moment.
Hotel Carioca
Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish! The ambiance at Hotel Carioca is truly captivating—vibrant, stylish, and full of character. The room was impeccably equipped with everything we needed, and the decor perfectly blends local charm with modern comfort. Every staff member went above and beyond with their warm smiles and genuine hospitality. We were especially impressed by the two stunning pools—perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the city. Best of all, the hotel is just steps away from Rua das Pedras, making it easy to stroll through the lively streets, enjoy authentic local cuisine, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh fruits, delicious fruit juices, and a great variety that kept us energized throughout the day. This place offers incredible value and unforgettable vibes. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio!
Arena Maracanã Hostel
Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The location is perfect—just a short walk to Maracanã Stadium, making it super convenient for fans and travelers alike. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, and despite a brief power outage caused by an external issue, the owner was incredibly kind and offered us extra time after check-out without hesitation. The farewell was sweet too—the hostel’s mascot Maya even came to say goodbye, which added such a personal touch. It’s rare to find a place with both great location and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend this gem in Rio!
Hospedagem Municipal
I booked this place through a platform expecting a basic, budget-friendly option to rest for a few hours before my connecting flight. It’s not really a tourist accommodation—it serves another purpose entirely. The room is extremely small, barely 2m x 3m—about the size of a standard bathroom—and with a ceiling height of only around 2 meters, it felt claustrophobic. There are two outlets in the room—one at the fan and one at the TV—but since the fan must stay on (due to strong cigarette smell), I had to charge my phone from the TV outlet. The back of the closet was piled with trash—paper, dust, cigarette ash—very unsanitary. The tiny window faces the hallway with no natural ventilation, so noise from other rooms and hallways seeps through easily. The shared bathroom lacked soap, hand towels, and even a sink—just a basin outside where you can wash your hands. The mattress looked old and worn, with a waterproof cover that was cracked and peeling. The overall space feels like someone repurposed a floor into two levels with poor construction standards. Ceiling height violates local regulations (minimum 2.7m required), and I highly doubt they have a valid operating permit. Safety measures, fire prevention, and hygiene don’t meet basic legal requirements. Honestly, this isn’t suitable for travelers—only an absolute last resort.
Casa 48 Guesthouse
Our family stay at Casa 48 was absolutely unforgettable. The warm and welcoming hospitality from Valentin and Félix made us feel right at home. We even celebrated New Year’s Eve together with the hosts in a truly unique and cozy atmosphere—so much charm and genuine connection. The location is perfect for exploring Rio, especially starting from Santa Teresa. You can walk or hop on a quick metro ride to reach various neighborhoods. And the view? Absolutely breathtaking—Rio spreads out before you like a postcard. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s an experience. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for authenticity, comfort, and heartwarming moments.
Andorinha Hotel (Adults Only)
My stay at Andorinha Hotel (Adults Only) was extremely disappointing. I requested breakfast for 10 a.m., but the front desk staff couldn’t even process such a simple request—no follow-up, no communication, just silence. It’s a clear sign of poor training and lack of supervision. To make matters worse, the housekeeping staff acted with outright rudeness, even taking it upon themselves to 'handle complaints' like an unofficial ombudsman. That kind of attitude is not just unprofessional—it’s disrespectful. The hotel’s quiet, private atmosphere might appeal to some, but without basic service standards, it feels more like neglect than exclusivity. For a place marketed as adults-only, the experience felt anything but mature or welcoming. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, there are far better options that actually deliver on service.
Rio Boutique Suites
This place is the perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle. I'm a local, and after weeks of nonstop routine, I just needed to disconnect—and this stay delivered exactly that. The historic mansion is full of charming details and cultural touches, yet it seamlessly blends with modern comforts. The room is spacious, airy, and impeccably equipped—everything worked flawlessly. The linens were soft, fresh, and smelled wonderful. Breakfast was exceptional: delicious, varied, and thoughtfully prepared. I left feeling completely recharged. I’ll definitely be back—this time with my whole family. A truly unforgettable experience.
