A special shoutout to Letitia at reception—her warm welcome and genuine care made a big difference. The rooftop view is absolutely breathtaking, offering panoramic glimpses of the city and ocean that take your breath away. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience. We’ll definitely be back.

Rio Spot Leblon D049

What an amazing weekend getaway! From check-in to checkout, everything was perfect. The apartment is beautifully designed, spotless, and equipped with all the essentials you'd want for a comfortable stay. It's located in a fantastic area—just a short walk from beaches, restaurants, and local attractions. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable. The location is convenient, and the price-to-quality ratio is unbeatable. I’d definitely return and recommend this place to anyone visiting Rio—it truly made our trip unforgettable!

Royalty Rio Hotel

The hotel is perfectly located—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great restaurants and attractions. The room was spotless, with a comfortable bed and a relaxing atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly, prompt service—every request was handled with care and efficiency. It felt personal, not just a transaction. This experience was truly exceptional, and I can’t wait to book again. If you're visiting Rio, this is definitely a top pick.

Apartamento econômico e espaçoso Para 6 Pessoas

The apartment was clean and well-maintained overall—exactly what you'd expect for a comfortable stay in Rio. It's spacious enough for six people, with all the essentials: a cozy bed, functional kitchenette, and a small living area perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The location is convenient for getting around by metro, and there are plenty of local shops and eateries nearby. A few minor issues popped up, but the staff handled them quickly and without hassle. If your main goal is a quiet place to rest, grab breakfast, and enjoy some evening TV, this property delivers. Solid choice for a budget-friendly, hassle-free stay in Rio.

Copacabana - Amplo - Quadra Da Praia

The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and super convenient for exploring Rio. Communication with the platform was smooth, and check-in was hassle-free. The apartment has everything you need: clean linens, towels, a stove, microwave, and more—very practical for a stay. However, the bathtub is definitely a weak point. It’s outdated, stained with grime, and not very hygienic. Removing it could actually free up space and improve cleanliness. The air conditioning is a bit noisy, but honestly, the street noise is so loud that it drowns out most other sounds anyway. To make matters worse, the windows are extremely old with no sound or thermal insulation—there’s even a two-finger-wide gap at the top and middle. As a result, sleeping is only truly possible between 10 PM and 6 AM. Outside of those hours, it feels like you’re sleeping on the sidewalk with constant traffic and city noise. If you’re a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, this might not be the best fit. Still, for the price and location, it’s a decent option if you’re okay with some trade-offs.

Rio Spot Homes Varanda U049

Staying at this Rio Spot Homes Varanda U049 unit was a real highlight of our trip to Rio de Janeiro. Just one block from Copacabana Beach, the location is unbeatable—walking distance to the sand and clear views of the ocean from the spacious balcony. The apartment is on the 9th floor of a secure high-rise building with on-site staff and metal key locks, giving peace of mind. Check-in is done via phone, WhatsApp, or email—we just notified them in advance and paid a 150 BRL cleaning fee plus a 40 EUR deposit upon arrival. The place is well-equipped for self-catering: there’s a decent-sized fridge, two induction burners, and plenty of cooking utensils, including two frying pans (though they do tend to stick). However, the dishware is limited—only four mugs and four shallow plates. Cleaning supplies are basic: a large bottle of dish soap and a small sponge. Bathroom amenities include one small bottle of shampoo and conditioner each, but no bar soap. One downside: the toilet faces an adjacent building, so we had to hang a towel across the window frame for privacy. The bedding can accommodate up to three guests, but we were warned about previous reports of bed bugs—definitely recommend bringing repellent. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you want a beachfront vibe without the premium price tag. Great value, great view, and super convenient for exploring the area.

Rio Spot Princesa

This stay was absolutely fantastic! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the metro and surrounded by great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Everything about the hotel felt clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The only minor downside was the shower pressure, which could be better, but it didn’t interfere with my overall enjoyment at all. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and the excellent value for money. If you're visiting Rio and want a comfortable, convenient base with a true local vibe, this is a top choice. Highly recommend!

My stay at Plaza Spania Boutique Hotel was absolutely fantastic! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the metro, making it super easy to explore Rio de Janeiro. The room was cozy and inviting, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night's sleep. The shower was excellent—great water pressure and clean, modern fixtures. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh, delicious, and offered a nice variety of options. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It’s clear this boutique hotel puts effort into every detail. If you're looking for a charming, well-located place to stay in Rio, this one is a top choice. I’ll definitely be back.

Pousadinha Copacabana

Staying at Pousadinha Copacabana was an absolute delight. The place feels warm and welcoming from the moment you step in, with a clean, well-maintained atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Located just steps away from everything—beaches, restaurants, shops, and nightlife—you truly don’t need a car. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth and stress-free. It’s perfect for solo travelers, couples, or groups of friends—everyone is made to feel welcome. I was especially impressed by the thoughtful touches: free coffee and filtered water throughout the day, which is such a nice surprise. The building itself has a charming, old-school vibe with tasteful decor that blends local character with comfort. It’s not just a hotel—it feels like staying in a beautifully restored family home with personality. With its unbeatable location, great value, and genuine hospitality, this place easily earns every point on the rating. Highly recommended.

Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro

Staying at Copacabana Palace was an absolute delight—right in the heart of Rio's most iconic area, with the beach just steps away. The property is beautifully landscaped and even features a few small animals that the kids absolutely loved spotting throughout the gardens. It’s such a unique touch that made our family trip extra special. The rooms are elegant and spacious, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Perfect for families looking for luxury with a personal touch. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rio—this place truly lives up to its reputation.

Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana

The hotel is about a 40-minute drive from the airport, perfectly situated between Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. Just step outside, cross the street, and you're right on the sand—fine, soft sand that feels like magic beach powder under your feet. Every staff member we met was incredibly polite and genuinely warm, always greeting guests with a smile. The pool area is stunning, and the view from outside—where mountains meet the ocean—is absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. We spent two full days just relaxing by the pool and on the beach, doing nothing but soaking in the vibe. We checked in early and were initially assigned a sea-view room at the end of the building, but my husband wanted something better, so we switched rooms twice before landing on a great one. It was worth the effort. The only downside? The price is steep—nearly $400 per night—but honestly, given the location, service, and overall experience, it’s not unreasonable. It’s just hard on the wallet when you’re budget-conscious!

Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort

Staying at this resort felt like a true getaway. The private beach access is a game-changer—just step outside and you're right on the sand with stunning ocean views. It's well-located, just a short ride from downtown Rio, making it easy to explore the city while still enjoying a peaceful retreat. The amenities are impressive: multiple pools (indoor and outdoor), tennis courts, and a dedicated kids’ play area that kept my children entertained all day. Despite being a luxury hotel, the price feels very reasonable—excellent value for money. The only minor downside? The sound of waves can be a bit loud if you're sensitive to noise, so I’d recommend requesting a room farther from the beach side or on a higher floor. Overall, an outstanding experience—comfortable, well-maintained, and perfect for families or couples looking for relaxation with great convenience.
