Hotels near Santos Dumont Airport

Pros: A unique concept created by the Owner. Superb hospitality with personal touch! Beautifully designed villa in colonial style, in the heart of Santa Teresa. One of the best breakfast in the world. Ideal for a romantic trip. We will be back! Thank you Claudio and Gabriele :) Kasia&Bartek

Pros: I loved everything about this place. Pictures don’t do it justice. So beautiful and quaint. Gives a great taste of Rio. Not too far from the city, but still gives a taste of the nature. Claudio was amazing. He made our stay unforgettable. Definitely coming back here!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Everything was perfect : Owners & staff really nice, helpful and trying to make us feel like home, the accommodation and swimming pool were amazing with the best panoramic view of the city, rooms are well decorated and really user friendly, and the top of the top was the breakfast! Everyday a bit different, the small details really made the difference. Book it without any hesitation.

Pros: The property situated in a very trendy kind of alternative area of Rio which adds some charm to the mansion converted into hotel. It was a pleasure to enjoy the neighbourhood with an advise of the owners and also the facilities of the hotel. It is very stylish hotel with its own charm, morning breakfasts were beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place for someone who wants to experience Rio besides Ipanema and copacabana.

Pros: Only 5 bedrooms. Perfectly looked after by delightful owners. Best breakfast made freshly with the freshest ingredients. Nothing too much trouble in a great position near central Rio with breathtaking views. Hotel security first rate and lovely staff.

Pros: This guest house is beautiful, quiet and with a relaxing swimming pool. The hosts and the staff are very nice and friendly people who make your stay as lovely and warm as they can. The breakfast is delicious: homemade food, amazing fruits and juice ; the table service is very beautiful and the presentation/decoration with a lot of attention. It is a wonderful place to stay if you want to have peace and relax time.

Pros: Casa Geranio is stunning, it is a stylish haven of tranquility in a great location. Claudio and Gabriel are so kind, genuine and helpful. The delicious breakfast is served with an exquisite attention to detail and was a feast for the eyes as well as the palette. We are already looking at when we can return.

Pros: Delicious breakfasts with amazing views!

Pros: Breakfast, pool and view are amazing. Claudio and gabriel as well.

Pros: Excellent hosts! They helped me with whatever I needed and suggested things to do that I wouldn't have known about. Very friendly and comfortable--I will definitely stay there again if I'm back in Rio.

Pros: Warm welcome, lovely room and setting, very helpful guidance on what to do and see. Plus the breakfast is great! and the location something special.

Pros: The staff, the location, the charm of the place. From the first email enquiry through to the drop off at the airport, everyone there is happy and keen to make sure your arrival and stay will be the best possible experience you could have of Rio. As a mother travelling with two daughters, I felt totally safe thanks the to the advice of the passionate and caring owners and staff, and they were always on hand to offer the best advice of how to spend our time, where to go and eat and listen to music in order to fully enjoy the wonders of Rio.

Cons: Absolutely nothing! It couldn't have been more perfect!

Pros: Great B&B all round, with fantastic owners Lance and David, along with their staff they made my stay extremely enjoyable. I can highly recommend the airport transfer with their driver Anderson, who was extremely polite and a capable driver.

Cons: Everything good

Pros: David was a great host as provided us with several information about the city that was very good in order to have a real experience in Rio. The place is very well protected and safe

Pros: The welcoming atmosphere and the kindness of yhe host. Plus they helped us with our planning our sray and that was really helpfuml and enjoyable

Cons: Everything was just amazing

Pros: very friendly and exceptionally helpful owners and manager who made our stay an experience to remember

Cons: we loved every minute

Pros: The room was very comfortable, clean and got a nice view, the breakfast was very nice and tasty. I stayed in Ipanema area as well but here is totally different kind of vives and more local, very nice to experience the area. On top of that, staffs are very nice and kind. They helped me out for many things and especially David is very kind and knowledgeable about where is the good places to go, so I felt very comfortable and very lucky to meet him. Thank you very much!

Pros: It was not only the well designed & extraordinary clean room or the freshly brewed & tasty coffee that made our stay so perfect. It was especially the great hospitality and helpfulness of the owners and the whole team, which we apprechiate the most. They helped us immediately after we were rejected at the airport because of missing vaccination documents (always carry them with you, if you want to go from Brasil to Ecuador or Columbia). Without their support, we would never have arrived in Ecuador by the next day. What else to say? Awesome breakfast: fresh fruit and homemade omelette every day, they even serve specials like banana pancake from time to time and of course you will also find breadrolls, cake and muesli. The rooms: just gorgeous with tasteful artwork, really spacious and clean. In addition most of them have direct access to one of the terraces and a separate entry. You will also find wonderful recreation areas on the terraces and inside the building, beautiful flowers and a pool that is cleaned every morning. Wifi: works perfectly everywhere. And again: the staff! No matter if it's a ride to the airport at midnight, a good advice what to to in Rio on rainy days or a simple but helpful safety lesson - it all comes with a smile at Casa Cool Beans!

Pros: Sergio was great extremely helpful when we arrived at airport and very welcoming. They also gave lots of extra travel information and breakfast in fridge as early check out. Just a shame we didn't stay longer

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The host was friendly and helpful. Also the breakfast was great!

Pros: It was a nice experience: the price, location, rich breakfast (perfectly done)and, specially, the support provided by Maria, who made our stay the most pleasant and cozy. For sure we’ll choose Lapa Checa to stay in our next trips to Rio de Janeiro.

Pros: The breakfast was amazing, and the overall comfort of the room. The host is super sweet and helpful.

Cons: Nothing- everything was great!

Pros: Good location, easy to access to metro. Nice staff, although English barrier, but google translation is work. Good breakfast. Everything user friendly. Strong recommend.

Pros: Maria was great. Walking distance to the main sprawl of Lapa and also a bit quieter and removed. Incredibly comfortable bed. Strong wifi. Delicious breakfast (especially the coffee).

Pros: Really nice room, was like a little apartment. Nice host.

Pros: An amazing host, she was lovely, very friendly and despite the language barrier we got by with Google translate. The room was big, an enormous very comfortable bed, air conditioning and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was delicious and she left us a packed breakfast on our last day when we slept in. Great location, safe and secure building. Id definately stay again.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We were expecting it to be more like a traditional b&b/hostel but it is actually a private apartment room in a larger building. Breakfast is served in Maria’s own apartment on a separate floor. The building is secure with a security guard on the front desk and keypads on apartment doors. It felt very safe. Maria is a wonderful host. She doesn’t speak much English but uses a translation tool. She is friendly and happy to help. She even went out of her way to bake us a vegan cake especially. The normal breakfast selection is great and has fresh fruits, breads, cheeses, cold meats and cakes. The location is pretty good, not far from Santa Teresa, Selaron Steps, Parque de Ruinas. It’s also about a 15 minute taxi/Uber ride away from Ipanema, Copacabana and the Christ redeemer. The room has free WiFi, kettle, fridge and free drinking water.

Pros: Maria's home cooking. Advice and local knowledge from Maria, friendliness, good humour and fun!

Pros: Nice and small B&B. Breakfast was awesome. Very friendly host. Easily the best hotel and breakfast during our 1 year world trip. Thank you!!

Pros: Very warm welcome by Carmen in fluent English. She helped me planning my visit in all details, including bus lines to take. Santa Teresa is a very special neighbourhood, very different from the beach areas - much more authentic, less touristic.

Pros: Splendid view. Host was very nice and took time to make suggestions and answer questions.

Cons: Nothing really. But keep in mind the the house is on the hill so best to go there by Uber/Taxi. And in the house itself are also several floors there so a lot of walking up and down to the kitchen, bathroom etc.

Pros: Carmen and Fernando were amazing hosts. The house is splendid and the neighbourhood is charming.

Pros: Fernando and Carmen were extremely warm and helpful. They were always available to give advice and make conversation. The house has a cool artsy vibe. It's a lovely space with magical views of the city. My room was on the top floor. It had a balcony with an amazing view. Santa Teresa is an interesting part of town-- definitely worth checking out for a couple days. And I'd recommend staying here. Great experience all around.

Pros: Carmen and Fernando have created a lovely space, artfully decorated, airy and warm that makes you feel at home. The location allows for great views of the bay, the sugar loaf and the birds...also, very nice breakfast prepared by Cida!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Great Breakfast, Fantastic View

Pros: Fantastic, beautiful house in great location with very friendly and helpful hosts. The views are incredible and house is very well designed with art everywhere and a comfortable, private space/room with its own deck and a lovely second balcony downstairs with a a cozy shared swimming pool. Great location with good access to the metro for wandering different parts of the city. The hosts were very accommodating and lovely, interesting people. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Pros: The view, the owners and staff and breakfast. The shower after the day out!

Pros: This is one of those old grandeur houses, with artsy decor, in the hills of Santa Teresa. Location is good, close to the main road where restaurants and shops are. Linens were clean. Breakfast was good, plenty (but also expensive).

Cons: They have 2 cats! I always scan for pets, because I am allergic, but it only said "No Pets Allowed", nothing in the fine print that they have cats in the house. Since I suffer extremely, I would have liked to know to book somewhere else. Furthermore, we thought it was extremely expensive. We had a big and a small room, and paid US$809 for 2 nights (2 rooms, 4 people) plus US$166 for breakfast. We thought it was not worth so much money.

Pros: Loved my stay. I felt like I was at home from the moment I arrived. I stayed in the Amazon Room with an amazing view of the ocean and mountains in the distance and the very green yard out back. The neighbourhood the hotel is in is awesome, Santa Teresa. Valeria and Remy were wonderful hosts. I plan on returning in a couple of years :)

Pros: Staff is superb. Accommodations are outstanding. Great location. Strong WiFi.

Cons: I have no criticisms.

Pros: The outdoor area with the pool and the view from the garden as well as the balcony upstairs and the big room are very beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons: The room we got looked completely different from the room that is showed in the pictures. We expected a big room with a view but the room was in the basement, very small, had a wall next to the window a d no view also on the other window. Also we could only sleep until 7 am because a family was staying in the room above us and due to the wooden floors it was extremely noisy.

Pros: A lovely boutique hotel with stylish interiors and within walking distance of some great cafes. Staff were extra friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble! Would definitely recommend!

Pros: The most welcoming owner and staff who were so helpful and friendly. Nothing at all was too much trouble for them. A very personal service from them. Great location with lots of bars and restaurants near by. Easy access to all of Rio with Uber who were very cheap compared to UK prices . Charming colonial style mansion with an eclectic array of furnishings. Very chilled atmosphere to return home to each day. Fabulous views over the bay from the room we had. We absolutely loved our stay and would stay again.

Cons: Breakfast was very good but slightly on the expensive side but there are places to have breakfast nearby if you want to eat with the locals.. a lovely experience we found. We missed a couple of bottles of complimentary water as you can’t drink the tap water. No tea and coffee facilities in room.

Pros: The room was lovely with a great view and decorated really well. The staff are friendly and Remy was particularly great and really helpful!

Cons: It wasn’t clear that breakfast wasn’t included and so we had a big bill to pay at the end that we weren’t expecting. This also included welcome drinks and coffee which we had assumed were complimentary.

Pros: Mama Ruisa was the most beautiful hotel I had ever stayed in, and everything exceeded my exceptions! The space was immaculate with an incredible collection of furniture. Location was also great, couldn't have asked for more! Wish I had more time in Rio to enjoy the hotel and the pool.

Pros: Valeria and the rest of the team were so friendly and helpful. They very kindly accommodated my request for champagne and roses in the room upon arrival for our 20th Wedding anniversary and were a wealth of knowledge and recommendations in both the local area and Rio more broadly. The room and house were beautiful and we loved breakfast on the private terrace with accompanying birdsong and marmosets. Would recommend without reservation to anyone :)

Cons: Nothing was great

Pros: We stayed at Mama Ruisa at both ends of the trip. The place is a delight. St Theresa is a great area to be in, away from the hustle and bustle of the centro or the beaches but easy to get to by tram. The boutique hotel is colonial in style and the rooms we stayed in were exquisite. Above all the staff were engaging, friendly and willing to offer advice and guidance on everything. Special thanks to Valeria and Remy our hosts and to Rafael and all the other staff for making our trip so memorable

Pros: Location is superb! The room is not at all sound prove... got awake several times during the night. I could even hear people talking in the rooms on the sides... clearly heard what they were talking. Room was not clean at all, hair on the floor and calc in the shower. Minibar does only have water and sugar soda. The restaurant had several times less personal and food before 12 was not possible. Beer are just cheap local beer. The worst was really that I couldn’t sleep one night through without being waked.

Cons: My bedroom was smelling smoke. And some stuffs was too old.

Pros: The have exceptional breakfast, probably the best.

Cons: The rooms were extremely small and it was hard to move around the little space. In the bathroom, they only provide shampoo, no conditioner, no body wash, no body lotion. I'm more concerned about the space, not the accessories. one Elevator was working at a time leaving lots of people waiting to ride the elevator

Pros: Excellent breakfast. Nice lookout.

Cons: Only 2 elevators for many guests so this takes so long to get in depending on time. Internet connection for smartphones and tablets are terrible. It needs to connect to the network many times. No problema for laptops

Cons: The lifts!! Not enough lifts for the number of people staying. One morning when one lift didnt work it took 13 minutes to get from the 5th floor to the ground floor.

Pros: The hotel is perfect if you have an early flight leaving from the airport nearby (Santos Dumont Airport) and if you want to visit Santa Tereza.

Pros: Breakfast was good and setting excellent

Cons: Scramble eggs daily! They need to increase variety of breakfast

Pros: Excellent breakfast Receptionist was very friendly and helpful

Cons: I don't recommend these apartments for those who visit Brasil in winter. No hot water, no heater in the room, only some fan with cold air only, between door and corridor there is a big hole so you can hear personnel talking continuously on walkie talkie starting at 6-7am. Much loud from outside air conditioners.

Pros: The staff is friendly. The room is big and cleaner. Very good breakfast. it´s all i need!

Pros: Good breakfast. I liked the pool and the amenities are good enough

Cons: The guy in charge of the breakfast was overseeing us just because my 1-y-old son had a small bread out of the breakfast room. In the following day often times the same guy was passing by our table seems double checking us. It was so embarrassed and we didn't feel comfortable. We stayed in an apartment in the next door (the called anexo). The anexo building was so old and smell bad. I didn't know we were to stay in the anexo when booked the room. The price of apartment in the anexo building is cheaper than the ones at the actual hotel, but I could afford a better place if I knew how it is in advance.

Pros: What I liked best was that the reception staff made every effort to help me, especially the one who spent a long time on the phone trying to help me locate my delayed luggage from the airport. He was friendly and polite and I appreciated his help a lot. The rooms and facilities were more than adequate for my needs, and the buffet breakfast choice was great. The price was excellent. I'd definitely stay there again.

Cons: Not the hotel's fault, but Centro is not the greatest location in Rio; not the cleanest or most interesting part. Having said that, I felt safe, and saw good nightlife including locals Capoiera dancing in the square.

Pros: My plan included breakfast. Breakfast was great because I could enjoy various kinds of cheese, ham, bread, and cakes. The room was traditional because of wooden floor and door.
