Top Guanabara Bay Hotel Reviews

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro

10/10 Excellent

"Good rooms, everything was pretty clean. Close enough to everything I had to visit."

Windsor Guanabara Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A good hotel to stay at, helpful staff and excellent location in Centro"

Rio Aeroporto Hotel Galeão

8/10 Good

"Hotel muito conveniente quando tem uma conexão mais longa. 15 minutos andando do terminal 2 sem segredo, só seguir as placas. O atendimento foi muito bom, chegamos no hotel já era 22 horas e o restaurante estava fechando, mas os atendentes se prontificaram de tirar um pedido e leva ló ao quarto. 30 min depois meu jantar lá estava. A limpeza do quarto deixa a desejar, banheiro precisa de uma água sanitária e o quarto um aspirador de pó. Café da manhã com várias opções e todas elas gostosas. Check out sem enrolação ou pegadinhas, foi tudo tranquilo . Recomendo o hotel para quem tem conexões longas no Galeão."

Hotel Orizzonte Niterói by Atlantica

10/10 Excellent

"It was an off beat location but a completely private compound with gated security to enter! The front desk staff were very helpful and spoke English but no one else was English speaking making it difficult to order food and drinks but we made it work! It has an amazing pool grounds level and a wonderful well kept large hot tub, and sauna with a colder shower to keep balance. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated- definitely a nice place if you are looking for just a place feel comfortable and relaxed- it is an uner ride away from great restaurants and beaches but nothing is really close."
