Windsor Guanabara Hotel

Porto Maravilha Rio de Janeiro|1.08km from Rio de Janeiro Cathedral
I actually had 2 comfortable nights at this hotel but their website just kept on charging my credit card over and over. Thankfully, it showed up on my phone, so I was able to inform the staff and show them the receipt at the time. A very helpful front receptionist said he would contact the finance department and that when I checked out early the next morning' it would all have been rectified. When I went to reception, no one could help and I was told to wait for the manager who would be on duty after my flight left..... So far, no response from this hotel and no money back.I've contacted my credit card provider and so I now have to battle to get my money back. My experience of checking in was in I’m afraid to say, truly awful. I arrived at 5am and the older gentleman checking me in was ignorant. Apparently, he was the ‘English speaker’ on duty and he completely ignored me when I asked a question. I received no information whatsoever about breakfast times, where facilities in the hotel were and he didn’t even have the good manners to look up at me when I checked in, he just opened his hand for my passport. He started huffing and getting obviously irritated when I asked if it were possible to arrange a later breakfast as I wouldn’t be getting to bed u TIL 6am, despite having to pay for the hotel for the night before. The guy actually just ignored me until I asked him directly and he didn’t even look up and said ‘no’ in a really annoyed manner. Great customer service, thanks! Thankfully, when I had need to speak to reception staff during the day, this was a much better experience. I spoke to a young woman and on another occasion a young uni man who were friendly and helpful, so much so, I decided to stay again on my return trip the following week. That was up until they kept charging my credit card, firstly through the own hotels website that said the transaction failed but charged the credit card and then again when duplicate monies had been charged by the hotel. Mistakes happen. It it how quickly and satisfactorily they are sorted that makes the difference between staying there again and avoiding it. Would I recommend staying here? Yes, breakfast is good and the hotel was clean and quiet on the 19th floor. It is dated and could do with updating but it is not bad value when they don’t empty your bank account! Just pay in cash if you’re staying there and avoid that nasty old man on reception who works at night.

The location is very good. Excellent breakfast .I just missed a variety of fruits. Negative points: grumpy staff, restaurant closes early, door difficult to open.
Days Inn by Wyndham Rio de Janeiro Lapa

Lapa
Nice apartment, fine location, friendly staff, perfect breakfast (you can taste what you like but everything is fine) - I sincerely recommend Days Inn Rio de Janeiro Lapa with no doubts. It was the best choice for a few days in beautiful Rio.
Hotel Villa Rica

Santa Teresa
Hotel located in the central region of Rio. From the Selaron Street. For anyone needs, from the to walk to the American consulate. Receptionist William is very educated and gentle, congratulations! The room was clean and smellful. The beds were good, the shower was excellent, and even a hair dryer, and a simple breakfast was made, but it was the best to meet our needs. I just leave as a comment for improvement: the room TV was broken (as our stay was small and we don't care we don't talk to the hotel about it, but I think it was important since it was one of the items offered in the daily). And another point is that, despite the cleaning, I had cheap bathroom furniture, perhaps because it was a little old, and it was generally worth the cost-benefit.

I always stay at this hotel. Great value for money. It is close to the subway and the Riachuelo Theater, which always has good programming. The only thing I recommend is paying maximum attention to your surroundings. Eating there is also pretty bad, as there are few options.

Lapa
We chose this hotel from Italy for its location ... Once we arrived we didn't think we were, rather ... The hotel is two steps from the cathedral (before we saw it from the room), a few steps from the Lapa district where there are many rooms to drink and eat, about 1km from Santa Teresa district where there is the famous Selairon scale, about 1km from the Uruguay market (advised to buy gifts at a more competitive price than other stores of souvenirs)... It really is walking from this hotel you reach everything ... Clearly Copacabana,Ipanema, Christ Redeemer do not make text because they are far from the center so you need to take a means ( we have been very good with Uber). Breakfast is worthy as the rooms are simple but clean. The staff is very kind. It is, if you don't ambit to the luxury hotel rather preferring a great location, this is the ideal hotel

Lapa
We live near Rio, if we are going out for a night in Rio or taking Friends out this is where we stay! We book two rooms, One for us one for the nanny and children ! Spend the day by the beautiful pool, then walk the 5 minutes to the centre of Lapa in the evening! Its a fairly ”adult” hotel, but its suits us because of the location and the babies love the pool ! I would recommend staying here one or two nights to experience the nightlife, Spanish steps and the local vibe ! Breakfast is good but the ”oasis” factor is the big deal ! Downsides, checkin can be slow, but they promise me they are working on that, and for the price which is an absolute bargain most of the time makes this a no brainer ! The rooms by the pool are perfect and worth the little extra, the staff are great! I stay here once a month and cant recommend it highly enough ! Of course you get what you pay for, there is no parking, and it can get busy, but as someone who stays in hotels a lot, I recommend this as literally an oasis in the centre of the party district ! And its great value for money !
