Fluminense Hotel
The Fluminense Hotel is an excellent choice for travelers visiting Rio de Janeiro. Located in a central area, it's just steps away from major attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. The breakfast was outstanding—fresh, varied, and full of local flavors that made the morning start off right. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

Hotel Golden Park Rio de Janeiro Aeroporto By Nacional Inn
I’ve always preferred staying at the Golden Park Hotel, as it consistently delivers a comfortable and welcoming experience. However, in recent visits, I’ve been repeatedly woken up by noise in the hallways during the night. It’s a bit disruptive to the overall quality of rest, especially after such a good reputation for comfort and service. The hotel has great potential, and with minor improvements—like better sound insulation or evening staff checks—this could be an even more relaxing stay. Still, I’d definitely return if these issues were addressed.
Flat Real Residence Hotel
I absolutely loved my stay at Flat Real Residence Hotel in Rio de Janeiro! The front desk staff were incredibly courteous and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and pleasant. The room was spotlessly clean, well-organized, and had everything I needed—especially the spacious bathroom with thoughtful amenities. It was airy and comfortably cool thanks to the air conditioning, which made it perfect for Rio's warm weather. Best of all, it’s just a short walk from the beach, local restaurants, and the lively square—perfect for exploring on foot. I was truly enchanted by the location and vibe. Everything I needed was within reach, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. Definitely a top choice if you're visiting Rio!
Savoy Othon Lite
The hotel completely exceeded our expectations. Everything was excellent—from the quality of the breakfast to the warm and attentive service from the staff. The location is very convenient, with easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay. The overall experience was outstanding, and we would definitely book again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rio!
Tupiniquim Hostel Rio de Janeiro
The hostel is conveniently located near the metro, making it easy to get around Rio. However, the staff experience was extremely disappointing. We had to ask permission every time we wanted to store or retrieve items from the shared fridge—repeated requests made it incredibly inconvenient. In the morning, we needed our breakfast supplies right away, but were forced to wait two hours because the owner refused to let us access our things until the cleaner arrived, even though it was just one floor up. When I went to get my stuff, the owner became angry, yelled at me, and used a disrespectful term I won’t repeat. At that point, we left immediately. While the location is good and prices are reasonable, the lack of basic respect and poor communication completely ruined our stay. Not worth it.
Mambembe Hostel
The hostel has a spacious and welcoming vibe with plenty of room to relax and socialize. The double room was nicely decorated and made for a comfortable stay. However, I'm disappointed with the lack of communication and refund after canceling my booking—despite promises, I waited over three months with no response or resolution. It's also worth noting that safety concerns mean you’ll need to rely on Uber to get around at night, which adds extra cost and inconvenience. While the location and atmosphere are decent, poor customer service significantly impacts the overall experience.
Aurora Hostel Rio
Staying at Aurora Hostel Rio was an absolute highlight of my trip to Rio! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of everything, with a great mix of trendy shops, local markets, and amazing bars and restaurants just steps away. Despite being so central, the area feels safe and peaceful, especially when walking around during daylight hours. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and always going the extra mile to make sure guests feel welcome. The vibe is youthful and laid-back, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. I made several new friends within just a few hours of arriving—truly unforgettable connections. The hostel itself is spotless and well-organized, with attention to detail that shows real care. It’s clear this place is run with passion and heart. If I ever return to Rio, this will be my first choice—without hesitation.
CabanaCopa Hostel
Staying at CabanaCopa Hostel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Rio! The staff, especially Victor and Larissa, were incredibly friendly and helpful—always smiling and going the extra mile to make sure we felt welcome. The hostel itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers great value for the price. My room was simple but comfortable, with good lighting and a cozy atmosphere. Location-wise, it’s just a short walk from Copacabana Beach and close to public transit, making exploring the city super easy. I’ve stayed in many hostels around the world, and this one stands out for its warm vibe and excellent service. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Rio—great mix of affordability, comfort, and hospitality!
Ibis Styles RJ Botafogo
The service, staff, rooms, and breakfast were all excellent! I highly recommend this hotel—100% satisfied. We stayed in a standard room (the most affordable option), and it was surprisingly comfortable and well-appointed. The location is fantastic—close to public transit, local restaurants, and attractions, plus the area feels safe and welcoming. The only small suggestion: adding a small rooftop terrace or swimming pool would be a nice touch to elevate the experience even further. But honestly, everything else is spot-on. This place truly delivers value and comfort—definitely a top pick for anyone visiting Rio.
