The hotel may not be in the best part of Rio but it is a very nice hotel. Our twin bed room was very clean, comfortable and spacious with a lovely bathroom with powerful shower. Breakfast was very good with a choice of hot or cold food. We had dinner a couple of evenings and the food was excellent and service from the waiting staff was excellent. We would definitely stay here again and the prices were very reasonable.

It is a good business hotel, although since my last visit, a few amenities have been removed, such as the sitting area - no more sofa or armchair to sit and relax. Just a bed and a mall chair. Also, no coffeemaker in the room.

Good for business travel

The Guanabara is a very good hotel in Rio. It is in the Center and the business district. Clean and nice facilities. The only negative is it is a long way from the tourist district, if you are interested in taking advantage of any of the tour companies or famous beaches.

Hotel is just okay, we needed a place closer to the airport for one night and so this place worked for that. Price was reasonable and rooms are spartan, but you get what you pay for, nothing to complain about. I would not stay here more than one night as there is nothing to do in Centro and you would be constantly going back and forth to other parts of the city.

It was an ok property. The hotel charged us for mini bar drinks that we didn’t consume. We were late and communicating was challenging so we just paid the bill anyway, but it was frustrating. Staff was not friendly or particularly helpful. Pet much did the bare minimum.

The location is not good. There are homeless people everywhere to the extent they will follow you into the local cafes/shops asking for food. I traveled with my daughter and I did not feel safe in thebarea at all. There is trash everywhere. If you are traveling for vacation I recommend staying in Copacabana. The food at the hotel is medicore and is $25 USD per meal. You do better going to a nice restaurant elsewhere. I am unclear how this place has a 4* rating it is a low 3 at best.

The hotel is situated in the center - downtown. The chamber was basic yet at a high price. There were tears in the walls. Staff was nice but don't speak other language than Portuguese, unless you go at the front desk where most staff can at least communicate in a suitable english. The environment is definitely not as beautiful as Copacabana or Ipanema witch are better situated and better looking. If you are looking for more fancier location, yet a bit far, try near the "Jardim Oceanico" station. It's the most upgraded part of the city.
