"I reserved a room at this property for two nights based on its high customer rating and property descriptions. We arrived at the property around 9pm. The first thing we noticed was tiny black flies everywhere in the room. The bathroom is very small and the sink was leaking water beneath it. The shower water was small in volume. We stayed there for one night and notified Expedia immediately next morning about the room condition and checked out as soon as we could based on Expedia representative's...

"Adorei minha estadia no Aurora Hostel, a galera é receptiva e a infraestrutura é boa! O quarto compartilhado misto com vista pro jardim é ótimo pois tem gaveta pra guardar as coisas com cadeado e cortinas na cama. Também gostei desse quarto pois as camas são beliche e não triliche. A internet também é boa pra quem pretende trabalhar durante a estadia. O único problema é que aqui no hoteis.com diz que tem café da manhã incluso mas eles cobram um valor aparte pelo café."

Top Botafogo Hotel Reviews

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

10/10 Excellent

"Fue una experiencia muy bonita y nos gustaría volver"

Yoo2 Rio de Janeiro, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"I had a great stay. It was just unfortunate that the spa facilities were not open. It would have been helpful if the hotel had mentioned this at the point of booking as for me the spa was a plus point in making the decision to stay there Awesome staff and good breakfast"

JANEIRO Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hola!! Si vas de vacaciones a Río el lugar para alojarte es “el Janeiro”. Creo que 5 estrellas es poco. Desde la atención, el servicio, la excelencia de su personal en cada una de las áreas, la mejor ubicación de todo Río y cada detalle demuestra que NADA fue liberado al azar en este hotel. MARAVILLOSO. Gracias, sin duda pronto volveremos."

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro

8/10 Good

"It's a great hotel for the location. Near Cinelandia and Lapa, short ride to several businesses, consulates and Santos Dumont airport. Perfect view of the Sugar Loaf mountain from the rooftop by the pool. Staff was attentive and helped with what they could. However during my stay, the boiler broke down and there was no hot water for several hours into the night, so no hot shower that day. I also was shocked they didn't have a proper business center (with a "business " name and everything). TV only had local channels and awful signal, so couldn't even check/watch some of the World Cup. Wifi was a hit or miss, often only working in the lobby area. 2 elevators and one was under repairs, so 1 elevator for 19 floors, I was using the stairs often. Breakfast was excellent. If they fixed whatever wasn't working during my stay, it's a great hotel."
