Windsor Plaza Copacabana
Staying at Windsor Plaza Copacabana was an absolute highlight of my trip to Rio! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Copacabana Beach and surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and small grocery stores. While the room isn’t huge, it’s well-designed with all the essentials: comfortable bed, good lighting, clean bathroom, and modern amenities. Breakfast was fantastic—fresh fruit, local pastries, coffee, and a great variety to start the day right. I’d definitely recommend booking with breakfast included; trying to add it later meant paying full price with no discount. One thing to note: parking fees were higher than what was listed online—maybe due to seasonal pricing near year-end, so plan accordingly. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money, great service, and a convenient central spot. If I ever return to Rio, this will be my first choice again.
Prodigy Santos Dumont by Wish
Check-in was a bit delayed—expected at 12:30, but they only confirmed room readiness around 1:20 PM. Still, the experience overall was positive. The hotel’s location is unbeatable, directly connected to the airport, making transfers and early flights super convenient. That said, the front desk is tucked away at the back of the lobby, so you’ll need to walk a bit through the spacious corridors. The rooms and hallways had a faint cleaning smell—likely from recent sanitization—but nothing overwhelming. The rooftop view is definitely worth it, especially P1 and P2 areas. It gets busy, but the panoramic sight of the airport and city skyline, especially during sunset, is spectacular. Perfect for a quick break or just soaking in the atmosphere. Overall, great value, excellent access, and a solid choice if you're flying in or out of Rio.
Arosa Rio Hotel
The Arosa Rio Hotel is an outstanding choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience in Rio de Janeiro. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendly and attentive service. The hotel is perfectly located just steps away from a variety of restaurants, shops, and local attractions—ideal for exploring the city without needing to travel far. Everything inside the property is well-organized, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It's clear that attention to detail goes into every aspect of the guest experience. With such a great location, excellent service, and a peaceful atmosphere, this hotel truly delivers exceptional value. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio—it’s definitely a top pick.
Windsor Leme Hotel
Staying at Windsor Leme Hotel right on the front of Copacabana Beach was an absolute highlight. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the sand and all the vibrant energy of Rio’s famous beachfront. Getting around the city is super easy, and despite being so close to the action, the hotel itself remains quiet and peaceful. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. One minor note: if you book a connecting room, you might notice some noise from the adjacent room, especially during quieter hours. For a more peaceful stay, consider opting for a non-adjacent room. Overall, this place offers great value, excellent access, and a lovely atmosphere—highly recommend for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing comfort.
Villa 25
Villa 25 completely surpassed my expectations! The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure we felt welcome. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and varied every morning. The pool area is serene and beautifully designed, like a hidden oasis. Best of all, it’s just a short walk from the beach, making exploration effortless. With its unbeatable location, comfort, and genuine hospitality, this place offers incredible value. I can’t recommend it enough—I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
Riale Imperial Flamengo
This is my second time staying at this hotel, and I’m just as impressed as the first. The room is spacious and incredibly comfortable, especially the suite with the bathtub—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The breakfast was delicious again, with fresh and flavorful options that made mornings enjoyable. The location is great, with easy access to public transit and nearby attractions. It’s a fantastic value for the quality and service. I’ll definitely be back.
Pompeu Rio Hotel
The hotel offers a solid experience overall, especially considering its prime location. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful, making check-in and daily interactions pleasant. While some of the facilities show signs of aging—like slightly worn mirrors in the bathroom and faded paint in certain areas—the rooms remain clean and functional. The value for money is excellent, and being just steps away from public transit makes exploring Rio easy. It’s not a luxury stay, but for travelers who prioritize convenience and a welcoming atmosphere over brand-new finishes, this place is a great pick.
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.
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.
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.
Rio Spot Homes Vista Mar D027
Staying at Rio Spot Homes Vista Mar D027 was an absolute highlight of my trip to Rio de Janeiro. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach and close to public transit, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself is clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I especially loved the sea view from the balcony—it’s peaceful and calming, especially in the morning when the sun rises over the water. The neighborhood feels safe and vibrant, with small local shops and cafes right downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. It’s rare to find such a great mix of comfort, convenience, and value. I’d definitely book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.
Nobile Hotel Copacabana Design
Absolutely stunning and perfectly located—right in the heart of Copacabana, with easy access to the beach, local cafes, and public transit. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a modern, minimalist touch. It felt like a stylish retreat after a long day exploring Rio. Great value for the price, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Rio—perfect for couples or small families looking for comfort and convenience.
