Américas Barra Hotel
3.8/567 Reviews
Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro
I’d describe this hotel as utilitarian. No decor or warmth at all. The common areas are spacious and quite bare.Table and chairs at the restaurant are plain brown wood, The lobby is sparsely furnished with some worn , drab and very uncomfortable seats. Bathrooms are the same. Just the very bare essentials, not even a box of tissue paper ( and thin toilet paper) We travelled long hours,  arrived at 22:00 looking forward to a good shower …not to be. We were up for a bad start. There  was just a trickle of water not enough to bathe or properly brush teeth either. That could have been a whole area problem as we were told that water pressure can sometimes drop in some areas of the city. We changed rooms , water pressure  wasn’t much better the next day either, the water flow improved just a little and remained as such the whole week. We had paid for 5 nights and ended up staying as the city was packed that week . To go looking for another hotel during the G20 summit which Rio was hosting that week of November 2024 would not be an easy task.  On the positive side, staff was pleasant and accommodating, bed was comfortable and from our perspective, the breakfast buffet was the best feature of this hotel offering abundant variety of  food to meet all tastes- cereal, fruits and cheeses, cold cuts, several hot savory breakfast  dishes - incl. some Brazilian regional dishes as well, a huge selection of breads, cakes, good coffee, and more. Very satisfying. Including breakfast in the booking is highly recommended.  The good fare offered at the hotel at lunch and dinner not good at all. However, there are also three of four restaurants lined up on a small stretch within 5 min walking distance of the hotel- one of them is a very good authentic European Portuguese cuisine and wine. Aprox. US$ 52 for a meal for two. On the same cluster of shops there is a well established Brazilian cuisine restaurant with a good menu where one can eat well for anything  between US$ 12  to US$ 15 and a steak house similar to the Australian Outback steak house.  There are also other eateries snd convenience shops, a pharmacy on the same stretch ( 5 min walk ffrom the hotel) including a 24 hr laundromat where one can expect to wash and dry a load for about US$ 7.  As for location, this hotel is not close to the most well known districts of Rio - places like Copacabana, Ipanema , Leblon - but Barra da Tijuca is a special area in itself and arguably has the best beach in town. The hotel is just a 10 - 15 min taxi ride to Barra Shopping-  the largest and best shopping mall in the whole state of Rio de Janeiro where one can find anything,  including restaurants (recommend trying Jappa all you can eat Japanese food spread for US$ 26 as in Nov 2024). On the whole , when compared with the fashionable and pricey districts of Copacabana , Ipanema Leblon  this hotel is good value for money . I’d stay there again if they fixed the shower situation b’cause this feature matters for me.
Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro - Oficial
4.4/571 Reviews
São Conrado
Decent hotel . Not a 5 star but a decent 4 star . Missing some bits to be considered as a 5 star. Shout out to fernando and marcio who were excellent staff round the pool . Making sure our drinks were full and always with a smile . Also Monique are cleaner was excellent and attentive to our requests. Reception staff that done our check in and check out were very good as well. Found it slightly odd all the sales people trying to sell time shares all over the hotel . Breakfast staff were great and happy . The evening staff not so much . Overall it was a good stay and good value for money
Vila Galé Rio de Janeiro
4.2/5130 Reviews
Lapa
Very friendly staff, nice hotel. I booked a suite for one night, the room was clean although it could use some refurbishing. One window didn't lock, so the noise from the street was constant. Located in a street with some stores, but not an area where you feel safe walking around. No toiletries included apart from s soap and shower gel/shampoo. Coffee machine in the bedroom with 2 coffee pods. I couldn't see a menu anywhere, assumed these were complimentary, as in most hotels where you rent a suite. I was surprised to be charged 1.5 USD per capsule on checkout, and that there was a QR code informing me of this in the room. I couldn't find it anywhere though. All in all, great staff, but there is definitely a much better price to service/location ratio than this hotel in Rio
Wyndham Rio Barra
3.9/540 Reviews
Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro
This property has the potential to be amazing, but it needs a few key updates. The location is fabulous, the staff is excellent, and the restaurant is great both in terms of service and food quality. The room was spacious, and the balcony was unbeatable. If you only speak English, you can get by staying here because all of the staff speak excellent English. We encountered a problem when the showerhead broke off, but the repairman came reasonably quickly to replace it, and he was very polite and not disruptive. We ordered room service, and Dom Rio, the hotel’s restaurant, delivered it quickly. I had the filet which was cooked properly to the correct temperature (medium rare). My fiancé had the alfredo pasta which she liked a lot. The breakfast had a huge selection, and everything tasted good. The only thing keeping this hotel from earning top marks is the general state of much of the decor in the rooms. The curtains look shabby and dirty from moisture, and the wood of the cabinets is warped also. It is very hard to maintain a room that is constantly exposed to salt water and ocean breeze, but the materials chosen have not stood up to age. I would recommend staying here if you are interested in staying in Barra at a nice but reasonably priced hotel, but don’t expect the finest luxury. Expect a very large, fairly clean room with a comfortable bed and an amazing view.
Vogue Square Fashion Hotel by Lenny Niemeyer
4.5/571 Reviews
Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro
Positive points: great location inside the shopping mall, easy access, easy check-in, VERY good breakfast, good bed, clean room. Bad points: During my stay the shower didn't get hot, the technician came to the room, turned on the heater and it still didn't get hot. The towels were very old, worn, frayed. But overall I recommend the hotel and would stay there again.
Novotel RJ Porto Atlantico
4.2/583 Reviews
Porto Maravilha
Great stay! Facilities are a bit less taken care off for a Novotel. In the average I had a very pleasant stay, with a very amiable staff. I do recommend due to the favorable rates and location close to Rio exit to Minas Gerais that makes traveling back easier and with less traffic.
H Niteroi Hotel
4.8/575 Reviews
I stayed at H Niterói Hotel for 4 nights and 5 days, and it was an unforgettable experience. • Location: The hotel boasts a stunning view of Rio de Janeiro, with iconic sights like Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer visible right from the property. Its prime location adds immense value to the stay. • Rooftop Amenities: The rooftop is a standout feature, offering a breathtaking pool and panoramic views that are simply spectacular. It’s the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Rio. • Service: The staff at H Niterói Hotel were outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional, ensuring every need was met promptly and courteously. • Cleanliness: Immaculate housekeeping throughout the hotel, from the spotless rooms to the pristine common areas, was impressive. • Dining: The restaurant provided a fantastic dining experience, with a diverse menu and exceptional service to match. • Room Comfort: My room was spacious, well-equipped, and featured large windows that perfectly framed the incredible view of Rio. Overall, H Niterói Hotel delivers a perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and unparalleled views. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience Niterói/Rio de Janeiro at its finest!
Novotel RJ Santos Dumont
4.1/5113 Reviews
A very average hotel experience. I will start with the slight complaints: The room was not perfectly clean (the bed skirting was stained, for example), but the sheets, pillows, and mattress were clean. The hotel was a bit loud at times, as you can hear other guests in the hall from inside the rooms. The room service was very slow, and my fiancée’s order was messed up the first time (she recieved the wrong item). However, the kitchen quickly made things right by sending the correct order. My food was alright, and she really liked what she ordered. The room was a decent size. It had a full-sized couch, large bathroom, and a double bed in the room we booked. The shower was amazing. It was the highlight of the trip for me. The room had a view of The Redeemer which was nice. We booked this hotel mostly due to its proximity to Santos Dumont airport; it was perfect for us in that regard. If you have an early flight from SDU, this is an easy hotel to recommend.
Windsor Barra Hotel
4.6/5124 Reviews
Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro
This hotel is a great stay in Barra. Like a lot of hotels in Rio, this one is old. The place has some relics of the last century: the phone is old, the furniture is old, etc. However, it makes up for it in other ways. The service is excellent at this property. The breakfast is very good, the room service is great and cheap, and all of the staff from doormen to bellhops to reception are attentive and professional. The breakfast attendants are more professional than most local waiters. You will get excellent service here. The hotel is also very pretty despite its age. The hallways and lobby are large, and it looks premium. The location is incredible if you like Barra. We only stayed one night, but we had a decent side view of the ocean from our room, and we easily had enough time for a nice walk on the beach before check-out. Windsor Barra Hotel is a great value; stay here if you value service and excellent access to Barra’s beach.
