Top São Cristóvão Hotel Reviews

Hotel Arpoador

6/10 Okay

"This is a great location. The breakfast is actually very good there are many options and many of the staff were welcoming however I was disappointed at check in the host was very cold did not explain how the elevators work the hostess of the restaurant was kind and came ove to show me. Also I choose to stay at this place because I had heard great things about the roof top and I was not able to use on the night I checked, the form of imforning, was very impersonal. On the way out I was service by an employee that was extremely personal and very concerned about my experience. I hope the owners sees this, and Johnathan is rewarded for his service."

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean but I had two issues and I was that the room was really small and there was really no hot water in the sink. The shower had hot water and was decent but these were the two issues I have with the room. I picked this because it had a gym and although the rooftop pool area was nice the gym would be better if they had some kind of weight equipment."

Américas Granada Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Location is not in a nice neighborhood. Could not even take a shower as the shower area was not draining and causing pooling of water. Reported the incident but no subsequent action taken by attending staff at night. Hotel conditions needed a fix. Overall, I definitely cannot recommend this facility nor would I try the facility. "

Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro

2/10 Terrible

"We had a lot of problems starting with the bad smell of the 6th floor, the water of the shower seep through the walls and all the entrances of the room was wet, the shower make a lot of noise like a machine I ask the staff to move me to another room and they excuse was no rooms available, but the thing is the reception is closed at night Very bad experience and this is NOT A HILTON, it looks like a cheap hotel"

Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my husband visited in may and we found the hotel great. In an ideal location as close to ipanema side and slightly away from The main cocopabana strip. Also walking distance to lots of food and bars. Also has a lovely rooftop which we enjoyed for relaxing drinks with views of copabana beach."

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was great , best breakfast so far and close to beach. The ocean is intense so be careful . The front desk staff was a bit off in the beginning but then one of them made it up. I did have to uber to activities and this hotel feels like it’s on its own side of Rio. Hotel was great, keep in mind is one towel for the pool per day that was the only 👎. I went to the beach then had a sandy towel and rinsed off and wanted the a new towel for the pool and I was denied a new towel . With a hotel that fancy I don’t see how they monitor that. Great place , room service was excellent. Overall the stay was great we were able to get an upgrade with ocean view."
