Hotels near Catete, Rio de Janeiro

"The hotel is dated, but well-maintained. Daily cleaning. There was even a sauna in the room, although it wasn't working. The room was large and spacious, with a giant shower. Breakfast was standard for Brazil: fruit (papaya, pineapple, melon, watermelon, bananas, and even peaches and plums early in the morning), bread/rolls, cheese, ham, and even fish pie, scrambled eggs, cereal, and yogurt. The location was good; it's quite safe to walk around, although you should always be on your guard. Flamingo Beach is nice, with clean water, better than Copa and Ipanema. It's a short walk to the famous colored stairs, Lapa, and the city center. The only unpleasant thing was at the end: they charged me for water, which I didn't even have in my room. Naturally, I said I didn't drink anything, and they didn't charge me. Check these items immediately upon arrival."

"For a hotel of the same price, the service and breakfast are average. When checking out, if you want to store your luggage for more than an hour, you will be charged 40 reais (I forgot the exact amount, but it's about the same price anyway); the internal facilities are just so-so."

"We were greeted with a smile as soon as we arrived! This hotel offers money exchange (from USD). The location is perfect with lots of restaurant options around the area. Favorite part in this hotel is the buffet breakfast. Lots of options to choose from! Will definitely recommend to family and friends visitng Rio!"

"An honest, decent, and well-managed hotel. It's functional, without being overly fancy, but just what's needed. The breakfast is good. The reception is very attentive, without exception, as are all the staff. The cleanliness is a highlight... it's simple and efficient. I like this hotel, the atmosphere, and the staff's treatment in particular. The rooms aren't large, but they're very functional. The location is excellent, with all kinds of shops nearby. In short, I have nothing negative to say about it, and that's probably why I continue Thanks Hotel honesto. Decente e bem administrado. é funcional, sem exageros, mas como o que é necessário. O café da manhã é bom. Uma recepção muito atenciosa, sem exceção, assim como todos os fuincionarios. A limpeza é ponto alto... è de simplicidade eficiente. Gosto desser hotel, do ambiente, do tratamanto dos funcionário em especial. Os quartos não são greandes, mas são, da mesma forma, muito funcional.a localização é muito boa, com todo tipo de comercio ao seu redor. Enfim, não tenho uma observação ruim a seui respeirto e deve ser por isso que continuo reservando la, sempre que o preço permite. Muito obrigado,"

"Very clean, good breakfast, location is convenient. There's a cleaner everyday to get your room clean and ready. They replace towels everyday, which is so good."

"A decent, budget-friendly hotel in a central location, making it easy to get around on foot. It's not in a particularly attractive area, but it's perfectly adequate for a short stay and an overnight stay. Breakfast was good; I recommend going early, as it gets quite crowded after 10:30 and can be uncomfortable. The staff was average and polite. There was no shampoo in the room. Overall, a good option for the price and location if you're not looking for luxury."

"Really lovely hotel in a nice part of Rio. Staff are really friendly and helpful, especially as I speak English and everyone else is speaking Portuguese. The room was lovely and clean and the cleaners came here everyday to freshen up the room, put fresh towels in the bathroom and change the sheets. The pool was lovely and very quiet which made the experience much better. I didn’t have breakfast at the hotel very much but the one day that I did, there was a good variety of food. Can’t fault this hotel, very pleasant and would definitely stay here again."

"The Location is just next to Cinelandia and Lapa in the City Center. The service at the reception was not so good.. You had to wait untii 3 p.m and you could deposit your baggage only upon paying! At certain hours breakfast people have to line up for breakfast. And mostly you have to wait long for the lift. The photos show views from the top of the Hotel"

"Simple but very cute little hotel in Catete super close to two metro stations and the Flamengo beach. I stayed for one night and enjoyed my stay. The room is small indeed but well organized, very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there was no water in the rooms and they old had ice cold bottled water to buy and the breakfast room was too small at peak hour so I had to have breakfast in the room"

"Great location, but several areas need improvement Arosa Hotel has a great location, right in the heart of Lapa, close to many small local restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, and various stores. It’s very easy to get around — in short, the location is excellent. The rooms are spacious, which is definitely a plus. However, several aspects of the service could be improved. Our check-in experience was particularly unpleasant. We were a group of four, and upon arrival, their system was down. Instead of offering a simple or practical solution, the receptionists — who were quite unfriendly and unhelpful — asked us to scan a QR code and complete a long online form. The form included a number of unnecessary questions, more than what one would typically be asked at immigration when entering Brazil. Additionally, the internet did not work at all during our stay. While this didn’t seem to bother local guests, it was a real inconvenience for us as international visitors. Lastly, while the hotel gives off a grand appearance at first glance, the overall structure could really use some updates and maintenance. To sum up: great potential and excellent location, but the guest experience needs serious attention."
