Cons: nil

Pros: The hotel is beautiful, the location is extremely interesting. The accompanying resturaunt is wonderful for breakfast and meals. The staff were extremely helpful. Alex and Aroldo were excellent staff for breakfast. The pool was great and the area not too crowded. There were monkeys in the trees and they came came to you. This place was very special and we will stay here next time were in Rio.

Cons: The hot tub was either too hot (for every guest that tried) too cold for most or the water was too shallow. Room service was forgotten once. Not enough plug sockets, especially if you wanted to plug a laptop in to work.

Cons: The atmosphere was excellent, stuff was wonderful. We are really happy and would definitely recommend to our friends and family!

Pros: Really nice hotel with a nice pool and a bar at the pool. The staff was polite

Cons: Checkout and checkin was really slow. They tried to add a service fee even though booking.com said it was included. They should inform before about the fee. But they removed it after I asked what it was.

Pros: Good swimming pool

Cons: Staff and rest

Pros: Lovely pool area and nice staff at the pool bar.

Cons: We queued for an hour to check in and our room wasn’t ready until 3pm, which is fine , reception had taken a copy of my passport and I filled out all the information for check in. We were told to come back at 3pm to collect our key. I went back to reception at 3 and the queue was 15 people long, so I went away again and returned at 4pm, big queue again! I spoke to a really lady on reception and said I have come to collect my key and she said I need to join the end of the queue which I did for 10 minutes with nothing Moving so I went back to her and told her I’ll already checked in and just need my key! She was not happy and went away out of sight and sent someone else out to speak to me who said I must go to the end of the queue! I refused and asked for my key again! He disappeared and then sent out someone else! I finally got someone to give me the key but obviously by this time I wasn’t happy, everyone in the queue were getting very frustrated with the check in process, I’ve never seen anything Like it, all the staff on reception were miserable and moody the same as the frustrated guests! Apart from a poor man who had just started that day and still had a smile on his face! The rooms on booking,com look lovely with the old style but there is a big block of plain modern rooms which we were put in, nice basic room like a premier inn! But not what we thought we had booked, we like to stay in traditional style places. We checked out at 4am in the morning so we were the only ones checking out and the bill had buffets, taxes, water(things that we didn’t have) and that took 15 minutes to check out, god knows how long it would of took if there had been other people there! Would never use this hotel again because of this terrible experience!

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: This is a great hotel, but it is not a 5 star hotel and that is a good thing ! It still has personality, its little Brazilian in attitude, things sometimes happen slowly and the staff don't always understand you first time (But im speaking English in a portrugese speaking country so consider that my problem not there's! Go for a superior room if you can its a little etc but much nicer than the newer "apartments" your air conditioning may be a little flaky, it may take a while to checkin. But its well worth it, is great value for money, great location and the swimming pool is open till 10, and a lovely way to chill after the heat of the day! Ive stayed in this hotel every time I need a hotel near papa or am going out centrally. Its not perfect, but its very good and great value, great location, for lapa, safe and secure !

Cons: Check in can be slow, some rooms have flaky air-conditioning, but I cant really find much to complain about at this price !

Pros: Nice and big breakfast, lots of everything to choose. The hotel itself is lovely, like a little oasis in the middle of the city. Walking distance to the famous stair Escadaria Selaron and the train through Santa Teresa. Would definitively come here again, wish we had a couple more days at this place.

Pros: We use this hotel, when we are going out for the night in the Party District. On this occasion we are travelling with our two 6 months olds and their nanny. If you are a family with children then the best rooms are 20 to 32 on the ground floor! And right by the pool. Get 30 and 32 are opposite each oner as are all the equal numbers! Most rooms have a single sofa bed, so thats useful for families. This hotel has a lot of character and is the perfect location and normally great value for money. I highly recommend it.

Cons: Check Ibn can be a bit slow, and service can be slow, but thats normal and not a major problem at all.

Pros: Clean and simple

Cons: My bed was quite small

Pros: Location (300m from Catete metro station), very good breakfast and dinner (a lot of exotic fruits also), decent size of room. We received an upgrade from standard room to superior which include a terrace. There is a fridge in the room. The area is quiet and safe at night. Nice and helpful staff.

Cons: Air conditioner a bit noisy.

Pros: Location is great (about a 8 minute walk to the Flamengo beach and 120m from the Catete metro station, that takes you both to the city centre and top beaches like Copacabana or Ipanema). The staff (specially from the kitchen) are always willing and very nice. Breakfast is great!

Cons: The laundry price :/

Pros: Clean hotel in a pleasant old fashioned style.

Pros: The receptionist, she was always smile and helpful. The guard gave lots of helps. Restaurant workers were also very kind. The location is very good in Center. Metro station Catete is very near. To take metro reach Copacabana and Ipanema easily. And to Corcovado and Pao de Acucar is just BRL 12~20 by taxi. Many restaurants are around. They offer lunch or dinner.

Cons: I requested a airport pick up. But they said they didn't handle like that. I knew the reason when I arrived at airport. There was yellow taxi service boots offering fair fixed fare.

Pros: Great Breakfast. Good service. Clean facility. Great location

Cons: We bought Samba dance/dinner show tickets from them. The samba was good but the dinner was in a Brazilian grill house churrascaria place. That grill place was very skimpy with their food and the quality was below par. They charged lot of money for very low quality drinks.

Pros: situated at a safe location.

Cons: My room (Room 222) has a unpleasant toilet smell.

Pros: Good location, we could even walk to places we wanted to visit. Very good breakfast. Helpful stuff.

Cons: everything was ok

Pros: Breakfast. The view

Cons: Adaptors Bar on roof Working sauna Compensation for broken air conditioner on my stuff with water

Pros: We had a great stay at America’s Granada hotel. Fantastic location, super close to the Lapa bars and restaurants but also far enough away from the noise. Excellent buffet breakfast, comfortable beds, friendly staff and a great rooftop pool area. Very good value for money.

Cons: The only downfall was that we asked to store our suitcases for a couple of days while we traveled to Florianópolis with a smaller pack. We intended to come back and stay one more night after Flora. We were told they were unable to store our bags for longer than 24hours so had to book elsewhere for our return. Everything else was wonderful though, thank you!

Pros: Breakfast was ok. Location was bad,, You could smell urine from outside in the reception area. Looked always busy with buses coming in and out with visitors. The area outside was dodgy with beggars sleeping in the street, urine and defacating as well. Staff friendly

Cons: The room was very standard beds uncomfortable. What you see in the pictures is not what you get. The location was very disappointing/run down

Pros: The attention

Cons: Location

Pros: Take a look at the Mercure Hotel In Sao Paulo and get some tips on how to better run the hotel. The infrastructure is there improve upon it.

Cons: This is a badly run hotel, the entrance is constantly dirty, the front desk are not the most helpful and do not tell you how the rooms work and what the lights outside the rooms stand for. We stayed they for 4 or 5 days and the room was only cleaned once on the first day. I as a guest had to sweep and make the bed. We had to call for towels. The towels have a funny smell.. The pool is a far from the pics displayed. The water smells and the side walls of the pool are dirty. The bar at the pool is run with a cooler box with limited stuff in it. SAD.. We can not leave our homes with swimming pools and bathrooms for mediocre services like the Granada Hotel. Who ever rated this hotel 8.5 should be stripped of their title.. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE.

Pros: Bed was comfortable. Clean bathroom. Good spread for breakfast & decent location.

Cons: Language barrier when checking in but managed to get through the experience without too much hassle.

Pros: Large, clean rooms. Big beds. Delicious and varied breakfast. Friendly staff. Good gym and pool on the roof top. Wonderful!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: I felt that the price was very fair for being Rio. The room and everything was very well kept. The staff was friendly, and the hotel is in a good location/proximity to many of the sites in Rio.
