2-Star Hotels in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

We were a couple, good place to stay out of here.

Our stay was wonderful and the Easter chocolates for Easter Weekend was a nice personal touch. There were some minor issues (LED lightstrip behind headboard flashing constantly) that was immediately reported when we arrived and fixed within the same hour of our arrival. Staff was friendly and helpful, parking was safe (they park and bring out your vehicle when you need it). The only thing (but it wasn't a deal breaker) was the slight damp/mouldy smell in the room, but it's like that everywhere in the area due to the high moisture and humidity in the area. There are however some black mould spots that needs attention, just for the hotel to note - especially on the curtains and in the shower. Our stay was comfortable and breakfast was good (nice variety daily). Just please note that they do charge ”tourist tax” which wasn't indicated on our booking, Trip.com and the Hotel is responsible to disclose this beforehand.

Well-located hotel right in front of Pontal Beach, just a 5-minute drive from the bus terminal and a 10-minute walk from Paraty's Old Town. The bed was quite small, and so was the room; however, the bathroom was spacious. The room includes a small fridge, and there's a vending machine at the reception if you need drinks. Overall, you get what you pay for. Breakfast is served at a beach kiosk directly in front of the hotel. The same kiosk hosts live Brazilian music performances in the evenings, creating a cool and lively atmosphere. The staff were very friendly, and boat tours can also be booked through the hotel.

The hostel is right by the sea, but the beach isn't really suitable for swimming due to the cleanliness of the water. To the historical city center it is under half an hour by foot. Here also the boat tours to better beaches depart. A small supermarket for the necessary conveniences is nearby. The pool of the hostel is well maintained and a nice cool off for hot days. The rooms have a good size and are at a good price. The only thing that confused us was that we did not get new soap after 5 days we got by on very small soap bars.

This hotel has a great location and offers a varied and delicious breakfast buffet. I recommend this place.

What a little gem! The location was excellent and I even had the girls dorm to myself for 2 days!! No kichen facilities, but a fridge and a kettle are available. Such friendly staff! Construction going on at present but they are very considerate. The pictures are the view from the balcony of the ladies dorm.

The hotel is a great hostel, a better location, and is located on the metro side and two squares of the beach. Price, services and an excellent location. I will surely return.

It’s my first experience staying at the hostel in Rio, and it’s been great so far. Very nice and clean place, friendly and helpful staff. Good location, easy to walk to the closest bus stop. Has a great rooftop lounge area and lots of places to sit down and work with your laptop.

Enjoyed our stay! Comfortable bed, clean, good breakfast and helpful reception staff. The hotel is not far from the main bars/shops/restaurants/beach however the last bit of the walk is up a steep hill. Which was fine for us but may not suit some travellers. Thank you :)

Very small room and no minibar or phone to call reception. 220V sockets so you can't dry your hair. They only have 1 adapter to lend and it was already borrowed. Bad service. Coffee costs 57 reais but there isn't enough variety to charge that price.
