Top Lapa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

10/10 Excellent

"First time in Rio and we enjoyed our hotel. Is has everything you could possibly need. Room was left cleaned everyday and the staff were all friendly. We had great A/C and that’s always a plus. Will book this same hotel at our next visit."

Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The front desk clerk Mayra was so helpful and pleasant as we waited for our room to get ready. The food in the club house was amazing for breakfast and happy hour. Our only issue was the elevators. They were all over the place. Long wait time and sometimes the elevator wouldn’t stop on our floor. It was weird, but overall great stay! Great views and beach access!"
