Airport Guide
Compare 4 airports near Guarulhos
Selecting the right airport in the São Paulo metropolitan area depends largely on your final destination and flight type. São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU) is the primary international gateway, located in the neighboring municipality of Guarulhos, and is best for long-haul international travel. São Paulo–Congonhas Airport (CGH) is the only airport on this list actually within the city of São Paulo, making it the most convenient choice for domestic travelers looking to reach the city center quickly. For those flying into Viracopos International Airport (VCP), note that it serves the city of Campinas, not São Paulo, and requires a significantly longer and more expensive transfer into the metropolitan center. Similarly, Sao Jose Dos Campos Airport (SJK) is located in a separate city and is typically reserved for regional transit. Travelers prioritizing speed and international connections should stick to GRU, while those valuing domestic convenience and lower transit costs within the capital should prefer CGH.

The room was a decent size, not too big, not too small, and fairly clean, though it had a slight odor. The restaurant was quite large, and the breakfast offered a good variety, including some local specialties. While it doesn't quite meet a 4-star standard back home, overall, it's decent value for money.FromUS$88

Disappointing stay—lack of basic amenities and very poor service.
While the room itself was clean, the overall experience was far from satisfactory for the price. First of all, there were absolutely no basic amenities provided—not even a single bottle of complimentary water or indoor slippers. Is this standard Brazilian hotel culture? Even so, it's hard to justify.
To make matters worse, the service was frustrating. Despite checkout time being officially set at 12:00 PM, the front desk started calling our room at 10:00 AM to wake us up. Shortly after, at 10:30 AM, the housekeeping staff knocked on the door and woke us up again.
Clean rooms are great, but the terrible service and lack of basic hospitality made this a very disappointing stay. Definitely not worth the price.FromUS$76

Comfortable hotel near Guarulhos Airport with free round-trip shuttle service. Well-equipped room, with quality bedding and mattress. I asked in advance if there was an electric kettle and was told there wasn’t, but in the end, there was one in the room. Tasty breakfast. Recommended!FromUS$86

The hotel is located near the centre of Guarulhos, near restaurants and shopping centres. The advantage is transfer to the airport both pick-up and going, which facilitates the transfer.FromUS$60

Well, overall the hotel is alright for a sleepover.
Room was clean, mattress is super soft which might be a good thing for someone but for not for me.
One surprising fact is that they don’t offer complimentary water. I honestly thought that has become a part of a basic package for every hotel.
Breakfast choice is poor, they offer various fruit selection but no veggies whatsoever. Coffee is bad.
Since my flight arrival time was quite late I had tried to reach the hotel to organize a transfer, or at least check what options I had. Well, I have already checked out and haven’t received any response yet.FromUS$66

Stayed one night for a layover. The price was really expensive, but the breakfast buffet had a good variety. Adding breakfast was also pricey. The front desk staff was very polite. Room facilities were decent, and cleanliness was not an issue.FromUS$182

The room was nice, and the airport shuttle service was great. There's a pick-up every hour, and drop-off is pretty similar. You can contact the hotel beforehand to get the shuttle schedule. Pick-up is free, but drop-off has a charge.FromUS$76

The hotel is very close to the airport, about a 10-15 minute drive. Although the direct distance is short, the road design is poor, requiring a lot of detours, which adds to the travel time.
The hotel is quite new, the newest of all the hotels on my Brazil trip. It's not in the typical dark red style, more like a bright-colored economy hotel in China, which I liked.
There's an airport shuttle at the entrance, seemingly running hourly, but unfortunately, I missed it.
The restaurant is decent; the selection isn't extensive but still acceptable.
There's an outdoor courtyard which is very comfortable for a short sit.
The room is compact but all the facilities are brand new.
WiFi connectivity was poor.
I asked the front desk if it was safe outside, and they replied that it's okay during the day but best not to go out at night. It's hard to imagine that even near the airport it's like this.
I had dinner at the hotel, costing 79 BRL per person. For someone like me who isn't used to the local flavors, it wasn't good value for money.
Throughout my entire Brazil trip, the only meal I thoroughly enjoyed was the BBQ buffet hosted by my client in Curitiba, because it had flavor. All other meals were bland and just for filling the stomach.
Considering the price and location, I would still choose to stay here again.FromUS$105

It exceeded my expectations! I'd read a lot of bad reviews about this place but actually there's nothing wrong with it apart from having weak wifi but aside from that it serves its purpose. Check in and check out was smooth (if you arrive from the airport on the shuttle bus you will experiencea wait) , breakfast is good, the spacious room was clean, modern and comfortable with a small balcony and staff are helpful. There was a nice garden area with a pool where you can relax if you have a few hours spare before a flight. We had a long wait for our flight so walked to the nearest mall 20 minutes away....uber is very cheap if you prefer. Despite the hotel location being close to a busy motorway the hotel is remarkably peaceful. This is our 4th stay near GRU airport and this was my favourite mid range hotel to date. From now on this will be my hotel of choice. One thing to bear in mind...the hotel shuttle bus service to GRU does not operate on Sundays.FromUS$77

The hotel was the most comfortable and the hotel was the location, it took us only 10 minutes to reach the airport (by 3 a.m.), the friendly staff and the normal Ibis hotel. However, I think the facilities are a little disappointed, the bathroom door of the room where I hosted (stage 15) was wrongly fitted and did not close, there was no bathing shampoo**** (the bottle was empty), The lift was old (it had a glass grinding on the top) I think by the price per night they could re-model the facilities. I have already visited other Ibis, 1 in Peru and this is the second in Brazil and it disappointed me a little, I thought they would be like the previous ones where I hosted.FromUS$71

Para mim super funcionou,eu cheguei no aeroporto de uma longa viagem vindo de Macau e precisava de um lugar para passar a noite,descansar antes de seguir viagem pelas rodovias do Brasil.
Quarto pequeno porém cômodo e reformado, o problema foram as janelas pequenas do banheiro e do quarto que eu me hospedei,mas de qualquer maneira foi uma boa experiência.
Com um transfer muito bom e o café da manhã também.
É um hotel ótimo para quem têm viagens do Aeroporto de Guarulhos.FromUS$71

AIRSIDE hotel, meaning it's located after security and exit passport/immigration control.
This hotel is the absolute best option if you have a long connection and/or early flight. Please note that because it's located airside (in the internal departures area) you need a valid, scannable boarding pass in order to access it. The only possible downside if that if there is any issue with getting your boarding pass (for example the day before, if like me you wanna sleep there and be ready to go to your gate the day after) that will always be a risk, as it will likely be too late to get a refund on your booking.
However, other than the risk with the boarding pass, this is absolutely the best hotel location wise. It was extremely clean, good bed, shower, room, etc, perfect. Also, I don't smoke, but it may be of interest to some travellers that they have an outside, open air garden, inside the hotel for smokers.FromUS$216
