Novotel RJ Praia de Botafogo

The location of this hotel is unbeatable. It's within biking distances of Copacabana beach and the sugar loaf mountain. Also just a quick crossing from Botafogo beach. Super markets and good restaurants are also only walking distance. Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in Rio but has a quiet enough place to sleep. Most hotels around Ipanema or Copacabana are rather loud in the evening.

Wifi is extremely slow in rooms. You can't do any Zoom meeting at all. If you are traveling for business, expect that you won't be able to do reliable Zoom meeting.

The location is good, just opposite of the beach, but need to walk about 10 mins to cross the high way to the beach. The breakfast and room are nice

Hotel location was great, just off Botafogo beach (unfortunately you have to cross2 bust roads to get to the beach, but so does every other hotel) and 10 minutes walk to the Metro. Hotel breakfast was good and room kept very clean. Service from restaurant staff was exceptional.

When your travel for business, in general, your clothes need to be with a well presentation, however the hotel doesn't have at least an iron in the room, the hotel must put some iron in the room, it is really necessary.

Nothing special. Small outdated rooms. First room had strong smell, therefore, asked for a room change. Second room was better. Two single beds instead of one king-size, though. Kettle in the room was broken. Rooms have no view at all. Supermarket is next door. Shopping center with great views to Botafogo beach is two blocks away.
