The hotel is remodeling which should be close down instead of put the guest in very uncomfortable position.

Previous comments pretty much said it. Not a great place, but convenient for my early flight the next day. Shower had strong pressure and was hot. Everything is dated and worn. Hard for my Uber to find the hotel. We circled around and he dropped us off at Terminal 1 where it wasn't clear that the hotel was there. I think there were signs for "Hotel" on the road, which I didn't realize was for this hotel. We just got out of the car and walked in and it was 2-minute walk inside the airport terminal to the hotel. There were no windows in my room - I'm guessing because it's in the middle of the airport building - the whole hotel, I mean. It's a 10 minute walk within the airport premises to Terminal 2. I was able to use their little gym at 3am, which has one treadmill, I think an elliptical, and a bench-press/shoulder press machine. Check-in and out was uneventful.

The property is very basic especially the furnishings and finishings. The shower door was not closing shut and water leaked to the floor. The bed was not comfortable and towels were very worn. We survived the 12 hr layover overnight but will not be our desired accommodations moving forward!

DO NOT stay here! This is a safety/health hazard. They’re located next to airport fuel and it reeks of the smell, and the front desk acknowledged it and did nothing to refund us.

For its purposes the hotel was fine. It is very basic don't expect any luxury. But it was convenient for catching our flight early the next day after arriving late at night at GIG. If you are looking for a hotel just for a few hrs because of the flight this is a decent option.

If you need a quick stay flying in and out of Rio it is convenient, but both our rooms had a large population of ants scurrying around. One roomed smelled. The bed was saggy and old. The deadbolt was broken. Positives, It was safe and convenient and air conditioning worked.

The room has no window and it smells like an old facility. The AC is noisy and the control is limited to on-off, without temperature set-up. Overall, the lack of concurrency in the area makes this hotel alive although very below of the standard.

Room has no windows. Beds and bath need upgrades, they look different from pictures shown. The advantages is that it is right inside the airport terminal 1, which is an abandoned terminal. It offers shuttle to terminal 2.

Adequate for a short stay of 1 or 2 nights right at the airport. Easy shuttle ride between terminals. The terminal the hotel is in is being remodeled so it’s not being used for flights at this time.

The hotel is satisfactory for a safe, clean place to sleep and that’s about it. The rooms don’t have any windows and it’s actually inside Terminal 2 at the airport. My flight arrived late, after midnight and it can be dangerous to travel at that time into the city by taxi or bus so it’s a reasonable option to stay safe. Pay attention, be sure of dates, etc. before reserving because this hotel doesn’t refund in the case you cancel a booking!

This was supposed to be a 4 stars hotel. Reception looks ok but things quickly have a sharply turn when you enter the premises towards you room. The hotel was built on an old part of the airport building on a single floor. It looks and feels like you are entering a detention facility. Everything was built with the cheapest materials they could find on top of a concrete structure. Doors, decoration, everything looks and feels like a one-start hotel. Clean, for sure, but that's it for a positive note. On top of everything, the room has no windows!!! Surprise, surprise if you are claustrophobic. No room in the hotel has windows, so if you don't want to be sleeping on a 4 wall concrete structure with no natural light, this hotel is not for you. I feel sorry for the staff that are doing the best they can with what they have on their hands. But it is a tough call. It is embarrassing, to say the least, by being the only 4 star hotel in the International Airport in Rio.

Hotel in the middle of a deactivated terminal, very creepy vibes, no proper signage to get in or out. Definitely do not walk there from Terminal 2, take the hotel van. Rooms do not have a secondary lock, can't be sure the door is locked. No windows so do not go there if you are claustrophobic. Decor from the 70s, cold shower. Staff was nice, breakfast was good, wifi is decent.

One of the most unique and bizarre hotels ever. In the abandoned Terminal 2 of the Rio Airport- compeletely abandoned but I believe the Police station is now housed there. Like something out of a Stephen King novel. Thru windows you can see escalators that haven't been used in years like an abandoned Mall. Eerie. Hotel fine, beds really small. Restaurant OK
