El hotel es simple, tiene un desayuno bien pobre, está en la terminal 1, hay que ir en carro porque casi todos los vuelos son de la terminal 2, así que es como salir del aeropuerto, no se puede ir caminando de una terminal a la otra , es lejos. Hay que llamar al teléfono del hotel para que manden el transfer q recogerte, si no tienes numero de Brasil es difícil llamar, no hay opción de WhatsApp o reservar antes. Muchas habitaciones no tienen ventanas.

We booked after our flight was cancelled. I booked on Expedia and chose a room that had a queen bed and a window. Upon arrival we were given a room with two small twin beds and the curtain opened to a wall. I asked the very helpful staff at the desk and he explained that there were no more rooms available. He said they would send an inquiry and hopefully be reimbursed the difference but so far that hasn’t happened. The room was a 2 star at best. The breakfast was excellent: Unfortunately our room wasn’t what we paid for.

The breakfast buffet was good and the transfer to and from terminal 2 was easy. The restaurant staff were goid. The reception staff were not friendly at all. Not one smile

There is a free shuttle between, but you have to call the hotel and ask for it.

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.

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

WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE EVER !!!

It was AWFUL !!!
First, it was impossible to find. It’s located in the old Terminal One building of GIG, Rio’s international airport.
There are no signs on the building telling you there is a hotel inside.
Once you’re in the building, the old airport terminal, there are no signs directing to the hotel.
There were three men and a woman checking people in. The men were rude and the single woman did all the work. The male reception staff ignore customers, even to the point of walking away when customers came up to the counter.
We were charged an extra $50 for a second person and $30 for parking.
You have to pay the parking at a kiosk in the basement, AGAIN with no directions how to get there.
