I no longer live in Rio, I'm based in Portugal now, but every time I fly into the city via Santos Dumont Airport, this hotel is always my top choice. It's incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the airport, with a clean, comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. The location makes getting around easy, and the value for money is excellent. Even though I'm not living here anymore, it still feels like home whenever I return to Rio.
I chose this ibis hotel in Rio de Janeiro's Botafogo neighborhood because I’d heard about safety concerns in the city, and being close to the Chinese Embassy gave me peace of mind. The classic ibis design is clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff who made my stay comfortable. That said, the room is on the smaller side—bed’s a bit narrow, and space feels tight—but for the price, it’s still a solid value. What really stands out is the large supermarket right downstairs, perfect for grabbing groceries, snacks, or drinks without having to go far. Overall, it’s a convenient, no-frills option that delivers on comfort and practicality, especially if you’re looking for a safe, hassle-free base in Rio.
Staying at Ibis Rio Porto Atlantico was a fantastic choice, especially given its close proximity to GIG Rio de Janeiro International Airport. Located in a well-planned new district, the area boasts wide, clean streets and a notably safer atmosphere compared to other parts of the city. Public transport is convenient—taking trams 1 and 4 to connect with the metro makes it easy to reach major tourist attractions without hassle. What really stood out was that room rates didn’t increase during Carnival season, which is incredibly fair and refreshing. The only minor downside is the lack of nearby restaurants—there’s just one large supermarket within walking distance, so dining options require a short trip. Still, the excellent location, reliable transport links, and great value make this hotel a top recommendation for travelers who prioritize convenience and peace of mind.
Staying at Ibis Copacabana Posto 5 was a fantastic experience. The room was clean, well-maintained, and just a short walk from the beach—perfect for morning strolls or sunset views. The location is ideal for exploring Rio, with easy access to public transit and nearby attractions. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and spoke fluent English, making communication smooth and stress-free. When our luggage arrived late, they patiently stored it and helped us retrieve it without any hassle. Breakfast offered a typical Brazilian spread—fresh bread, eggs, ham, papaya, melon, and yogurt. While the flavors leaned sweet, which might not suit everyone’s taste (especially those with a Chinese palate), it was still fresh and satisfying. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value for money, combining comfort, convenience, and friendly service. Highly recommend for travelers who want a no-frills yet reliable base in Copacabana.

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.
