Hotels near Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont airport

Pros: Breakfast was amazing!! Thanks Gabriel! Views of the city were incredible le too.

Cons: Nothing really

Pros: The owners Gabriel and Claudio make this place what it is. Their attention to detail, personal touches and chats over breakfast make this place worth going back. We stayed in many places in Rio and this was magical.

Pros: This house hotel was everything we had hoped and more. Claudio and Gabriel were fantastic hosts, being both perfectly attentive but also allowing us the privacy to enjoy ourselves. We had the suite with the private pool and the room was stunning. Wonderfully designed and appointed with a fabulous view of the city. Oh, and the breakfasts were second to none!!!

Cons: Nothing, our stay was perfect.

Pros: Beautiful setting, stunning pool, luxurious room, 5 star breakfast and very informative and friendly hosts.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Casa Geranio is full of charm, love for details, everything is well thought through and convenient. The hosts do look for high quality of the interior, products for breakfast and service. It felt like a little paradise in one of the most beautiful parts of Rio. The location is perfect with an amazing view over Rio by day and by night. We hope to come back once again.

Pros: the breakfast was amazing! and the hosts were so accommodating and friendly. We were very sad to leave and would definitely stay again if in Rio in the future

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful views and a breakfast to die for! All meticulously prepared with the freshest ingredients and exquisitely presented.

Pros: The breakfast supplied by Claudio was soooooooo good , lots of choice , different every day ! Claudio extremely helpful with info. The trolley right outside the door! Going up through the Santa Theresa neighborhood! Our lovely balcony room with everything you could want in it.

Cons: Could have done without the long many steps up to our room! Hard for an 88 year old, if we had known could have asked for a lower balcony room,

Pros: Everything at Casa Gerânio is fantastic: from the dog Paco, also the employees and, above all, the owners Claudio and Gabriel are kind and pleasant companies, always willing to guarantee the well-being of guests. The accommodations are beautiful, the beds are extremely comfortable, the towels are soft. Cleaning is flawless, very well executed. The location is perfect for those who want to move around Rio. It is worth choosing a sparkling wine to drink in the afternoon, in the pool area. And the breakfest is one of the best I've ever tasted!

Cons: Everything was absolutely fine!

Pros: Very nice place. Rather than a hotel, it is a patrician house one is invited in. Very nice breakfast on the balcony, beautiful drawing room, nice gardens. One could spend weeks here, just browsing the books. Very nice people too.

Cons: The street below may sometimes be noisy.

Pros: old school Rio

Pros: Mama Ruisa is located in a lovely area of Rio close to some cool bars and restaurants! The staff were INCREDIBLE (thank you Flavia!) and super helpful. Highly recommend this gem of a hotel to those who want to experience Rio in a more alternative way.

Pros: We were absolutely thrilled with the property and decor, an extraordinary collection of furniture and art. The staff was helpful in suggesting restaurants, shopping and arranging for transport. The hotel is not within walking distance to stores or restaurants but well worth the stay. Breakfast was fresh, healthy and good as were simple salads, assortments of cheese etc. On the downside.. as much as we enjoyed the vibe the bathrooms clearly need renovating which is not to say we would not to stay there again but it's time that the bathrooms matched the facilities.

Pros: Amazing property! The people make the property even better. Thierry is the best!

Cons: That we had to leave:-)

Pros: Everything! The decorations, the perfect details, the amazing staff, the food. Everything was perfect!

Pros: The neighborhood is perfect, with local bars, restaurants, beautiful architecture and nice small streets to walk around, the Villa is beautiful, breakfast in the terrace is fresh and complete. You can get great advise from the staff, the pool was always perfect, and the garden is quiet and calm after walking busy days in Rio.

Cons: nothing

Pros: the staff

Pros: lovely people and great breakfast. The garden is perfect to chill, swim and enjoy some shade after walking in the beautiful streets of Santa Teresa.

Pros: beautiful house, most friendly and helpful staff, nice pool, superstylish and wonderful atmosphere.

Pros: Properly the best place to stay In Rio with and it is runned by to cool art guys. The Neighborhood is boheme and natural. You really frem at home. Very helpfull and really good Advice to see and eat In Rio

Pros: Very friendly , helpful the owners and staff.

Cons: Summer time and our room didn't have A/C, share bathroom.

Pros: Fabulous location blocks from the energy of Santa Teresa but far enough from the center to be a quiet oasis. Delicious breakfast. Wonderful kind hosts. Lovely pool.

Pros: The Pool

Cons: Lack of natural light in Rooms

Pros: Nice architecture and location. Premium rooms has good design.

Cons: Cold water in the pool. Receptionist tried to charge us additionally for tips without asking (at checking out)

Pros: The property is really pretty and the setting of the pool is particularly chic with the pink building and palm trees. The colonial rooms are huge and impressive.

Cons: We were given a room we didn’t book, much larger but facing the busy road so we couldn’t have the shutters open or it was loud and unpleasant. No one asked us if that was ok. The staff didn’t bother with us. To the point that no one told us when breakfast is or informed us of details of the charges. No one says hello or checks on you at all. At check out, we found we were charged £6 or 40R$ every day as a ‘tip’ for the cleaning staff. That’s a very large tip over the course of our 5 day stay. £30 in total. It also didn’t account for the cash tip I already left in the room for them! Plus other tips for random services like refilling the mini bar. Effectively cleaning isn’t included in your room rate which is ridiculous and I have never seen another hotel policy like it. I couldn’t question it really because the hotel staff were so disengaged it was hard to speak to them. Also, water is not included in your room rate and the coffee in the room is also chargeable. The other thing I really didn’t like was the strong smell of cleaning products. It’s like the whole hotel smells strongly of bleach.

Pros: Beautiful grounds and great proximity to nightlife

Cons: Room is darker and there were flees. From street level to lobby there are stairways not easy for disabled or who is carrying luggage and no hotel assistance was available.

Pros: I loved the friendly staff, that was always prepared to help with any problems. The pool is fantastic and very big. The setting in the centre great. Breakfast was very good quality and varied

Cons: All good

Pros: Clean, good location, friendly staff, WIFI, breakfast

Cons: nothing

Pros: This was a heavenly oasis in Rio! The pool here was gorgeous and all of the staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to give me some recommendations for any questions I had. The cleaning staff and support staff were also very helpful and friendly, and went out of their way to handle any accommodations I asked for. The breakfast was good and the pool-side bar was also a beautiful touch.

Cons: The neighbourhood wasn't a great place to walk around. There were a few bars and restaurants close by, but it was not a safe place to walk around as a single traveller.

Pros: The hotel is an oasis in the midst of the chaos of a huge city. The rooms are spacious, the lighting excellent. I really liked the shower and bath amenities. The whole hotel was very clean and neat. The pool area looked very inviting. The staff are very polite and helpful.

Cons: We heard the neighbors partying all night long. We had to get up at 3AM for a flight, so it was totally disturbing.

Pros: another very magic stay, i said in another review it is all just magic and the magic overrides minor missing details for a 5 stars

Cons: i booked a room for the day, I left at 18.00 for the airport so I did not sleep there; considering I am a regular costumer more or less, I would have expected them to give some discount or maybe offer a voucher for my next stay, a gesture mostly that shows care

Pros: it is just a magic place, I have been 3 times and a must go when in rio. The hotel has something that is truly magic and unique; like being lost in time but with extremely high level of comfort, extremely high quality of customer service. I travel a lot and stay often in the four seasons likes, but this hotel it is truly a small miracle on the heart of rio. Amazing breakfast, amazing food, wonderful swimming pool area

Cons: I agree with some of the reviews, the hotel is in need of some update when it comes to room decor, but for me it is minor compared to the charm of the place

Pros: Setting is out of this world

Cons: Bathrooms could be more spacious

Cons: limited food options

Pros: Very nice property. Lots of details. great location. great views!!! staff was great.

Pros: Friendly staff, beautiful location

Pros: Kind hosts, nice patio, great location

Cons: Room was too crammed with beds: 16 in quite a small room. Matresses are not very comfortable

Pros: Cacaia was so lovely, I wish her all the best! Also this hostel easily lends itself to meet new people, very nice common area.

Cons: The big dorm wasn't very Feng shui or however you spell that. Slightly noisy too, but nothing some earplugs can't overcome.

Pros: The place is good located, Cacaia takes really good care of you and makes a delicious breakfast! The hostel is better than it looked on the pictures.

Pros: Great staff and excellent breakfast.

Cons: Only one Male shower

Pros: Location - metro accessibility, proximity to SDU airport. Within walking distance of Sambadrome. Santa Teresa district has a decent selection of shops and dining establishments (i.e. Portela) within a block or two.

Cons: Situated on a hill. Coming from the north or from the nearest metro station (Gloria), you have to walk quite a bit uphill to get to it.

Pros: We had planned to stay one week at Cacaia’s and Henrique’s house but finally we stayed one more! The hosts were very welcoming and we felt like at home. The location is in a very nice and animated neighborhood. Everything in the hostel is very clean. The kitchen and living room are bright and very chill. Also the breakfast is very good! We enjoyed it all and recommand!

Pros: Nice hosts, tasty breakfast

Cons: Little space, dangerous area after sunset

Pros: Cacaia and Henrique are the sweetest people. They became like mother and father to my group of friends at the hostel. They really make you feel at home and look after you. One day I was leaving early, before breakfast, so Henrique got up early to prepare something for me, they were worried about me going out without eating. I wanted to stay at the hostel a few days longer than planned but it was fully booked, so they offered the hammock, which I took happily. If I return to Rio, I will go to stay with Mama Cacaia and Papa Henrique.

Pros: Amazing amazing hosts, lovely people

Cons: Location, Santa Teresa isn't great to come back at night

Pros: Close to airport Santos Dumont

Cons: Rooms to Fair away from the elevators

Pros: super delicious breakfast, nice pool with a nice view, incredible colorful birds who are at the rooftop, and the windows are incredible good as you cannot hear any sound of the airplanes - what's impressing for south america. breakfast starts at 4 if you have an early flight.

Cons: i asked for a room in the upper level because of the view then i got a room with the view to the airport. just would be nice if the people who work there think further and why the guest are asking for a room in the higher floor - because of the view yes!

Pros: location & breakfast

Pros: This was a great hotel right next to SDU airport in Rio. We stayed at the start and end of our Brazil vacation due to its proximity to the airport. We were checked in within 20 minutes from our flight landing! Rooms were comfortable and clean although in our second room we had an issue getting the curtains to close. there was also a smell coming from the toilet like it was not cleaned properly. There are toiletries in bathroom. There is a lovely buffet breakfast served in the rooftop bar/restaurant which has gorgeous views overlooking the bay. There is a rooftop pool too.

Cons: see above

Pros: they’ve been super accommodating in order to improve our stay with the baby

Pros: The rooftop was stunning, beautiful pool and gorgeous view. The breakfast buffet was very good.

Cons: There were no English language channels on the TV.

Pros: Very convenient location to reach centre of Rio and museums as well as head to/from SDU airport. Hotel not at the beach front, so don't expect sea view although we got very nice clean room with the view to the city centre, nearby hills and famous Christ statue. Special thanks to the amazing and very hospitable stuff! Great team!

Cons: All is good except high price for the NY eve (which is expected in Rio anyways). Some parts in the nearby area are not recommended to walk at dark time due to safety reasons - and again, this is Rio, so don't complain when you are there. Just enjoy the weather and vibe :))

Cons: Restaurant is slow

Cons: They didn't reply to my question (sent 5 days before stay) related to the possibility to walk safely into the airport at 4am so I had to Pay a taxi

Pros: ok

Cons: ok

Pros: The location was a bit of a problem, downtown Rio is not what you expect, a lot of poverty, streets aren’t cleaned and buildings aren’t kept. But the hotel itself is good, clean, food is fantastic - please try their spaghetti bolognese- it’s to die for!

Cons: Wishful thinking, but somebody could somehow make downtown Rio less ugly.

Pros: Kind receptionists. Very handy location, near Santos Dumont airport and a short walk from Lapa neighborhood. Big room, big bathroom and big double bed. Nice view from rooftop towards Pão de Açúcar and the Christ.

Cons: It could be a little cheaper for what they offer. It could be a little cleaner, as well. Breakfast could be a little more organized, but it was very crowded and people touching everything, which is not good, especially in pandemic times. In my room, the air-conditioner of the upstairs apartment was dripping on top of my air-conditioner, making a very annoying noise.

The location of the hotel was great if you are staying in the Centro area, close to the SDU airport, the reception staff were friendly and spoke good English. The rooms were clean and tidy, everything worked as they should, breakfast was great and variety was impressive, good views of the city from the roof top.

Pros: Good location and breakfast

Cons: Staff service, poor cleaningless, lack security (we got into an occupied room because the guy at the front desk gave the wrong key card.

Pros: Having Breakfast in and using the pool of the adjusted Hotel.

Cons: Wifi was very slow!

Cons: WiFi

Pros: I did like the bed. It was kind of comfortable. Simple, and the sheets smelled great, other than other hotels in that area

Cons: the place the hotel was in. It was Rio, and there's a lot of criminals around. I felt like the property wasn't safe enough, and then I couldn't get to sleep.

Pros: Close to Rio the Janeiro Downtown.

Cons: The room was not in the hotel, but in a building besides it. The building was old, but the room very clean and new.
