Hotels near Jardim Botanico, Rio de Janeiro

"Excellent value for the price. I couldn't believe how big the room was with ahuge bathroom and spa bath. I was very impressed. The tall receptionist checked me in very early which was a pleasant surprise for just asking if I can store my bag. The location was great just a few min walk from the beach. Highly recommend"

"Overall Hotel Vermont is located at a very good location. It is right smack in Ipanema with a lot of convenience stores and restaurants around and about a 5 min walk to the beach. They have the bare necessities of a hotel, and even provide you with a card for a beach towel. The hotel has 2 blocks and I stayed at the one at the back. The rooms and facilities are a bit dated but other than that the staff are friendly and helpful and the location is great."

"Overall a comfortable stay. The breakfast buffet was quite good but a bit salty and lack of options (attached photo)."

"It’s all about location - right on Copacabana beach.  The rooms finishing in numbers 1, 2, 3 or 4 have ocean views.  Excellent breakfast."

"Beautiful hostel. I've been back. The staff now is much friendlier than the previous one."

"One of the best hotel in Rio de Janeiro. Very good reception"

"Overall a nice trip, and a pretty fancy hotel for the price. I would consider it more like a 4**** hotel than a 5 star, personally. highlights: - beautiful lobby and view from our room of the mountains, beach, etc. - kind people at the desk and otherwise. very safe inside even though neighborhood is a bit sketchy at times. - great bed, windows, bathtub, etc.. - affordable as an american for level of service. - spa and rooftop restaurant are amazing. gym is great too! dealbreakers: (may stop me from booking next time) - wifi was basically broken the entire time in our room, and in the hotel at times. less than 10mbits, and no signal in most of our room. front desk said several times they'd fix but I don't think they have the ability to actually fix it. many other people had this issue as well. at a 5* hotel, this should not be happening. major issue, had to do meetings in the lobby to get it to function at all. - breakfast is *good* but definitely caters towards a local brazilian diet (very few options for vegans). as a vegetarian, I'll just say I ate a lot of eggs and cheese. but hey, that's brazil so not digging on the hotel too much on that. - elevator is incredibly busy, and there were times where it literally said ”not available” and we had to wait 5 minutes to actually use it. - there are *TONS* of families with kids in and around the pool when we went. so environment was quite loud and crazy most of the time. they do timeshares so I think mostly big families frequent the hotel. - we booked and paid extra for the *Junior Suite* (with a large living room as well as bath). the front desk gave us the *room with bath* which ended up being nice.. but is half the size, and refused to put us in the junior suite room, even after showing the reservation. this may be a Trip.com issue instead of the hotel.. but they didn't offer any compensation or flexibility for us. trip did refund us the difference in price though. overall, its a great deal for the price, and the architecture is amazing, the room is nice, good water pressure. horrible wifi and very few vegetarian options made it difficult to recommend again, but we liked our stay nonetheless."

"Wonderful time Good location, comfortable rooms and good tasty breakfast"

"Good option for a few nights in Rio. The location is amazing…5min walk from Copacabana Beach, metro station practically beside the hotel, lots of restaurants and cafes near by. The room is ok, a bit smaller than I thought. TV works well, air conditioning as well. Bed isn’t too comfortable, but do the job"

"Hotel location was great, just off Botafogo beach (unfortunately you have to cross2 bust roads to get to the beach, but so does every other hotel) and 10 minutes walk to the Metro. Hotel breakfast was good and room kept very clean. Service from restaurant staff was exceptional."
