Top São Cristóvão Hotel Reviews

Grand Hyatt Rio De Janeiro

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel"

Wyndham Rio Barra - Oficial

8/10 Good

"Medium level hotel, very old. But anyway the amenities are wonderful and beach services perfectly. Chairs, meals drinks services perfect in the beach and swimming pool as well. Brazilian breakfast in a good level. Very well located in front of the beach. The rooms are very old and not very clean. But acceptable for beach days."

JANEIRO Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hola!! Si vas de vacaciones a Río el lugar para alojarte es “el Janeiro”. Creo que 5 estrellas es poco. Desde la atención, el servicio, la excelencia de su personal en cada una de las áreas, la mejor ubicación de todo Río y cada detalle demuestra que NADA fue liberado al azar en este hotel. MARAVILLOSO. Gracias, sin duda pronto volveremos."

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro

8/10 Good

"It's a great hotel for the location. Near Cinelandia and Lapa, short ride to several businesses, consulates and Santos Dumont airport. Perfect view of the Sugar Loaf mountain from the rooftop by the pool. Staff was attentive and helped with what they could. However during my stay, the boiler broke down and there was no hot water for several hours into the night, so no hot shower that day. I also was shocked they didn't have a proper business center (with a "business " name and everything). TV only had local channels and awful signal, so couldn't even check/watch some of the World Cup. Wifi was a hit or miss, often only working in the lobby area. 2 elevators and one was under repairs, so 1 elevator for 19 floors, I was using the stairs often. Breakfast was excellent. If they fixed whatever wasn't working during my stay, it's a great hotel."
