Hotels near Rio de Janeiro-Galeao Airport

Pros: We booked IBIS but got NOVOTEL, one big (FREE) upgrade. That's why I'm giving rate of 10.

Cons: I had to ask staff 3 times to get the non working light bulb replaced in bathroom. Wifi was unstable sometimes in the room.

Pros: Very nice staff ,new building, nice gym and swim pool also good location and delicious breakfast

Pros: Very good in general. I booked this hotel only to be close to the bus terminal. Nevertheless, staff was very friendly, room was spacious and comfortable (I believe I was upgraded). I did not have the chance to take breakfast as I was in a bit of a rush, but breakfast was about to be opened and looked good.

Pros: Service, facilities & costs

Cons: None at this time.

Pros: Property is very well located 20 min from GIG and 20 min from SDU airport (no traffic). Hotel is conveniently located on top of a mall.

Pros: Excellent location near a big shopping mall, restaurants, metro station and movie theatre

Cons: The amenities could be better and the rooms could have more plugs because I had to alternate charging my devices. The safe did not work and validating parking at the front desk took too long.

Ok

Pros: This spot is way better than the other one at Abelardo Bueno. Clean, smelling amazingly fresh, great WiFi connection, great crew.

Cons: I never had an experience like this! First, we took an elevator that was terrifying with doors that open at half… Secondly, they give us a really nice room but with 2 single beds instead of a queen size. Well this can happen BUT we had to wait 25mn that the person in charge of the reception came back from a pillow mission… then he gave us a « better and upgraded » room. It was a room for people in wheel chair (ok I don’t care at all!) BUT here starts the real drama. There was traces of rust inside the toilet and it was leaky toilet, the shadow curtain was dirty and plenty of moisissure traces, on the floor there was like traces of glue with hair, the pillows were there since while apparently as there was brown traces on one of them and to finish a trace of gel or cream or don’t know what on the table… we arrived at 22h50, it was passed midnight we were exhausted so we decided to stay in this room and complain in the morning. But shame on this hotel that offered this can of room to anyone and more than that we know that there is few rooms for people in wheel chair so that means that if it was our case we may couldn’t change our room, it’s really shameful!! For an hotel with high international standards it’s unacceptable… it worth a bad motel and not an hotel where you paid around 50€/night!

Pros: Rooms are clean and comfortable

Cons: Not enough staff for the Check-in, long Lines. I used a car to get to the hotel. In the entrance, There was a car line, and no warnings at all. About 15 minutes later, i had to get out of my car, get in the hotel and stop a costumer attendance so i could ask about the valet and parking Services. The parking lot was a bit far and, despite there were closer connections between the lot and the hotel tower, theses doors were closed, what made the costumers walk outside the building at any time in a dangerous neighboorhood. This wasn’t specified in booking.com, as wasn’t also the faço that there’s a cost for the parking even for the costumers.

Pros: good location and close to airports

Pros: The location near to the acuario

Cons: The pool area need to reinforce security and anti slip floor

Tram lines right in front of the hotel, so easy to get to the city. Nice hotel, for the price. Had a great stay.

Pros: I love Pousada Guanabara Garden was amazing. I have never been to a hotel that was so warm,hopspitable and kind. The Staff was great. I was treated very well, provided for and very much looked after. I stayed at PGG for a little over a week during my 3 week stay in Brazil, and I wish I would have been there the entire time. On my birthday I had an amazing 2hr spa treatment and also received a birthday Cake to my room! Marta and all of the Staff were such a blessing. I the courtyard área is also beautiful and with all of the pictures that I took, it was apparent that I loved it! I only have great things to say about this place!

Cons: I don't have any major complaints. My room was a little small but again, there is Nothing that I would change...Besides I didn't come to Brazil to stay in my room.

Pros: Breakfast is plentiful. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Good size balcony in room 7.

Cons: Water on the stairs to breakfast every morning and no sunbeds is annoying. Also dont eat in the evening. Not good.

Pros: - comfortable bed - good shower - friendly and professional staff - good restaurant - close to airport

Pros: Location, Ilha do Governador is a lovely place to stay, good restaurants, not that far away from the Pousada.

Cons: The bedroom size was good, but plastic curtains put me off straight away it was awful, bathroom was dated, toilet seat was broken and one of the shower taps was broken too and the shower window gave no privacy whatsoever as the cheap film the was there was ripped in different places. Clean but I had to request not more bleach to be used as it was too much and smell made me sick. Swimming pool looked dated, the only thing great in that area was the view. Members of staff gave a 5 star service from reception to cleaning staff, outstanding.

Pros: The calmness and tranquility of the area and the atmosphere was blissful. Also beautiful views.

Cons: beds were too hard and not easy to find at night-time.

Pros: Easy access to airport

Cons: Lack of hooks to hang towels in room

Cons: Everything bad. Bathroom door handle broke off while the shower was on so I was locked out of the bathroom as water was going, terrible pillows and bedsheets, Bad AC, bad wifi, itchy blankets.

Pros: Location, 24/7 shuttle, restaurant

Cons: Very simple/basic room

Good price, comfy, the best location if you’re only passing by.

All was perfect during our stay. The hotel Adjusted the check in and check out hours as I had a 10 hr layover in Rio. 5 star service.

The location was perfect, along with the free shuttle bus. We loved the service at the place, so friendly and spoke English. The staff are so friendly and they go out of their way to do anything they can to make the stay enjoyable. For a missed flight and having to find a hotel last minute for the night this hotel was perfect. Clean, close to the airport. Big pool to kill time before next flight out. Free breakfast and buffet lunch. Rooms are spotless and the beds very comfortable. Air con as standard. Minibar just has water though. Loved the later check out. Swimming pool is awesome (free towels too) and the fitness centre was good for me. There's a bar next to the pool terrace as well if you want to chill with a beer in the sun.

Pros: The hotel is modern, clean, comfortable and right located just in front the airport . the breakfast (included) is very good . Also there are free transportation from and to the airport from 5 AM to 12 PM . The pick up location is Terminal 2 just in front of boarding door D (There is sign at the side walk with the hotel name) . Please , pay attention for this detail ... the pick up in at boarding location, not arrival location .

Cons: At the hotel web site the transportation from and to the airport details are not available . The web site does not supply the pick up location (had to call the hotel to get those details) . Also , the web site and the display at the airport says the service is available 24 hours BUT the van driver said the service is available for 5 AM to 12 PM ..

Pros: The staff is always what saves the staying. The breakfast was enough, but lacked in variation, the cleanning ladies are always so nice and efficient.

Cons: There were a bad smell in the nights (marijuana like) coming from the air duty in the bathroom and in the toilet. I've got allergies because of the air conditioning or the sheets I don't know for sure, the pillows aren't any good, they are old, the window doesn't open much, the curtains were impossible to close and open without almost breaking the thing. I just stayed on ibis budget because there were no rooms on IBIS business.. next time I'll exchange the brand and stay in another hotel, but I won't go back to Ibis budget.

Pros: The staff was super friendly and willing to help. Everyone was always on a very good mood, super polite and courteous.

Cons: The carpet was coming off. We were also stuck outside from our room since the door lock was not working properly. We had to CONVINCE the staff that it was not working after a couple back and forth to the reception to get our cards changed. We had to change rooms in the middle of our stay. The washroom is so small that the door doesn’t open properly. The shower door also opens to the inside of the shower which is very weird. The bed is the most uncomfortable thing we’ve ever seen; there’s a division in the middle that is definitely an anti-cuddle device haha Overall was ok, it’s expected since it’s a cheaper option close to the airport.

Pros: We had to go to the airport (GIG) the next day. The location is perfect for that. The rooms were large and the beds comfortable. There is a small fitness center with the most necessary equipment. The breakfast was not the best but completely average and okey.

Cons: The building is not top modern and the parking spaces are not so well marked.

Pros: The central location & the room

Cons: That abstract painting in the lobby

Pros: Great cost benefit

Cons: All good

Pros: Close to the airport. Consider that the hotel is in Terminal 1 and the flight depart from Terminal 3.

Cons: The terminal 1 is quite lonely.

Pros: Awesome, very clean, very comfy, it is located inside the airport, easy, breakfast very good

Cons: Nor transportation neither information on how to get to the hotel

If you have a long connection time or just wanna rest after a long flight before continuing your trip to your final destination in Brazil, this is your place to stay. Clean , convenient, good mattress.

Pros: Location

Cons: Older and dark

Cons: The noise from the front desk echoed down the corridor

Pros: Price quality is exellent! Clean room with airco and tv, not noisy at night. Very basic room with just everything you need.

Pros: Room service, private sauna and jacuzzi tube in rooms

Cons: Internet almost not working. Is near to a dangerous zone so walking around is not an option. Big portions when ordering room service.

Pros: If was close of my needs

Cons: Some mosquitos inside the room,

Pros: Staff

Cons: Air conditioning that was not working

Pros: Everything was clean, aircon was nice and cold, their pizza was amazing!

Cons: We got the room because it was advertised as having a spa and sauna. When we arrived they said it didnt work and yet we still needed to pay full price.

Pros: The staff was pretty informative. Walking distance to Mauá square.

Cons: It’s an old property located in a sketchy neighborhood. It is close to the city center but not quite the center. The mattresses was not comfortable and facilities could be cleaner.

Pros: Spacious rooms

Pros: Somewhere cheap not too far from the airport before flight.

Cons: There isn't really a beach. Tiny strip of mucky sand , filthy water and rubbish. The hotel was virtually empty but they insisted on charging us extra per hour for checking in early as we arrived in the morning. We were shattered after arriving from Chile overnight between flights and we wanted a shower and go to bed so paid.

Pros: This place is fair The staff hardly speak English

Cons: About 50 minutes away from Rio de Janeiro City center, about30 kilometers which is mentioned only 13 kilometers.

Pros: Location

Cons: Everything

Pros: A guy would hold open the doors for us, which was nice.

Cons: Hotel looks like an 70s former love hotel used for a horror movie like The Shining. The hallway and room are very unpleasant, eerie and dimly lit places that made us feel depressed. Elevator was wobbly and scary. Everything once white was as yellow as heavy smoker's teeth. Mattress was made of mostly plastic (love hotel proof?), so we sweat a lot during the night. Breakfast was super basic and also had the creepy atmosphere with dissonant classical music faintly playing with reverb.

Pros: Basic (small!) room but clean and breakfest provided.

Cons: Beds were tiny (we're 1.85 and 1.87) so our feet were hanging over the edge all the time. Shower water ran out of shower a bit which was frustrating. Walk to metro during carnival wasn't the nicest walk!

Pros: Nothing really...

Cons: The staff didnt speak a word of English or any other language apart from Portuguese...the smell in the bathroom was horrendous and the general cleanliness is disaster as well as the facilities. Location is both central and convenient but also very close to favelas making it quite dangerous and dirty too. The stuff is very cold and impolite...definitely not looking to help and assist their guests... will not recommend it...

Pros: A few of the staff were nice and engaging. Most were not helpful or didn't speak English. This is a hotel for locals, not international travellers.

Cons: The bed matress was just a 3 inch foam mattress so very uncomfortable. The wooden shutters for the window were cracked with holes you could see through so every noise on the street came through loud and clear. With all the foot and people traffic outside the window it was impossible to sleep. It sounded as if your bed was in the middle of the road. Additionally, they don't speak English, had no local attraction materials or assistance, and the "restaurant" had only two options (beef or chicken) and even then they were out of beef.

Pros: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE,I SHOULD SAY NOTHING. THERE IS NOT A COMMON AREA WITH A SOFA....NOTHING, ONLY ROOM...AND IN GENERAL THE BUILDING IS IN DARKNESS AND DIRTY CONDITION.

Cons: NOTHING.THEY ARE SCAMMER. PICTURES WAS NOT REAL. FIRST NIGHT GAVE ME A ROOM WITH BROKEN DOOR LOCK, SO I WAS TRAPPED INSIDE, AND I HAD PANIC ATTACK. SO I DECIDED TO SLEEP IN OTHER PLACE. THE DAY AFTER THEY GAVE ME A NEW ROOM WITHOUT HOT SHOWER. AIR CONDITION IT WAS ALMOST EVER SWITCHED OFF, IF YOU NEED IT, YOU SHOULD GO IN RECEPTION AND DEMAND IT. THEY DON'T CLEAN MY ROOM. EVERYTHING IN ROOM IS BROKEN, OR HUGELY OLD. IN ONE WORD: DISGUSTING

Pros: a simple but clean and good hotel. excactly how i like it. totally unpretentious but still its a real hotel with privacy, cleanliness and good service. the breakfast was simple but ample and excellent in its own way. you got full for 3-5 hours before you need lunch again. the room had excellent airconditioning that could be controlled excactly how you wanted it. nice simple restaurant%bar nearby and also very close to the excellent museum of tomorrow. 10 mins walk there.

Cons: the staff could know more english, but everything worked out fine anyway. the walk to the metro was a bit on the long side...10 minutes through dirty sometimes smelly street, but very easy to find. this is Rio though, dont expect everything to be like the standard of central manhattan ;) its the way i like it though!
