ibis budget Rio de Janeiro Nova America
Clean room with the minimum necessary for a stay before taking a plane or right after arriving. Not recommended for long stays. Room to tight, but for just a few hours is more than ok.

Hotel Caracas Rio

ibis Rio de Janeiro Nova America
Front desk was a bit overwhelming when checking in, I thought checking in in advance would make it go faster but overall nice staff, very accommodating and kept our baggage’s safe even after checking out. Check out was smooth and quick and room was decent for two people.
