The A/C wasn't working so it was warm in the room without windows and there wasn't any hot water. The shuttle service did not operate as indicated so we walked from and to the hotel from Terminal 2. Fortunately the location of the hotel was the primary benefit, it was about a 15min walk.

The place was average. For the cost, I don’t think this is good value and policy requires them to considerably upcharge on second guests and early check Ins. But the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I suggest going to the other hotels near the airport

Hôtel location is excellent- close to the beach and close to all the stores and restaurants. Staff is helpful in finding tours, etc. The rooms are a bit run down but clean. No microwave, coffee machine or tea pot in the room or in easy access at the hotel. For us the biggest issue was no access to filtered water - had to either buy or ask the staff to fill our water bottles in the basement staff kitchen.

Ok for a quick stopover. Clean, good A/C, wife thought the bed was great, me…it was OK. Staff was not welcoming or cordial. They acted like they were doing us a favor…pretty gruff. Be advised, this hotel is built into the nearly abandoned Terminal 1. Even the taxi drivers did not know where it was. Again…for one night when our flight was cancelled, it worked.

Staff at check in (9/9/25) were amazing, the girl at the desk was lovely and spoke amazing English. Also, we had a great waiter in the restaurant, younger guy who also spoke amazing English, same evening we checked in - he was wonderful and helpful. The hotel is not fancy, very basic, but it was very clean and very quiet which we greatly appreciated.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. I was able to use the room from 10am - 8pm which was fine for me with my midnight departure. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend the hotel for a longer stay. The room was very basic, but clean. And be aware that the hotel location is in Terminal 1 at Rio (GIG). T1 is closed, all flights go in and out of Terminal 2. There is a free shuttle between, but you have to call the hotel and ask for it.

It was fine. It’s nice that there is a hotel inside airport. But the room didn’t have any windows. The door to the room was very thin and I could hear everything from the hallway so I felt unsafe and couldn't sleep.

It does what it says - super close to the airport (it is in the now mothballed terminal 1), so convenient place to rest your head for an early flight. Rooms are basic and have no windows, but clean. Shuttle is efficient or you can walk for 10 minutes

I selected this hotel because it was within the airport and I wouldn’t need to venture out into Rio at night. Mission accomplished! The hotel is clean and safe. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant/bar that is adjacent to the hotel in the airport. The reason for only four stars it that It is a bit difficult to find because it is in the older terminal one and most of the flights are in terminal two but it is possible to walk between the terminals. All of the taxis and Ubers are at T2, so expect some walking. I was able to leave my bags there for the day while I toured the city

Clean room. Abnormally cold with impossible to set AC temperature. Weird plumbing system in the washroom. Felt like a crypt. No signs for the hotel located at the deserted part of the Terminal 1. Hotel does not explain where it is located: experienced Uber driver had to make 3 circles and could not find the proper level. NB. Hotel door is Porta B at level 1. Had I not been there before, we would have circled around for at least another 20 min.

Bare minimum

If you have no other means, you can use this hotel. It is enough for crashing between flights, but no more than that. It lacks power outlets near the bed, which forced me to move it closer to one, in order to use my CPAP. I was clean and the air conditioning worked well. The bed was enough for sleeping.

The hotel is located in a part of the airport area that felt a little sketchy when we first arrived. Even our taxi driver seemed unsure and nervous, which didn’t help! He actually walked us all the way to the front door, and once we saw people at the entrance, we both relaxed. It was honestly a funny scene after the fact. That area of the airport is completely dead, but for what we needed, the hotel worked perfectly. Our flight was departing late at night, and we had to check out of our main hotel in Copacabana early, so we only needed a place to rest for about four hours. For that purpose, it was ideal. The hotel itself is very simple, room clean and modest and the shower had good water pressure — I personally wouldn’t stay more than one night — but it served its purpose. My husband took a nap, my daughter relaxed, we all showered, and then headed to the airport. The staff was great, and the lady who helped us spoke both Spanish and English, which made everything much easier. I was also happy that they offered transportation to Terminal 2. Overall, it’s not a hotel for a long stay, but it’s convenient for a quick rest before a late flight.
