Motels in Rio de Janeiro

Room clean, kitchen and good location, was what I was looking for.

We loved that it was walking distance to the beach, the parking was a different story. It's hard to find a parking spot on any given day it seems like. We got there late at night after a 6-7 hr. drive from Sao Paulo, so it was after hours for check-in and I called the Agency to send someone to open the apt. door. Our GPS sent us to the correct address but the doorman was not really nice and accomadating. He was upset with us, from what we could tell when we gave him the confirmation number and apt. number. From what we understood, he was sending us upstairs to the room and so we went up the elevator to a sketchy hallway with room numbers but were too scared to knock on the door so left back downstairs and called my contact at the Agency again. He then called the person who was supposed to be waiting for us and said he was upstairs in the apt....he then came downstairs and talked to grumpy doorman who I guess didn't understand we were staying there temporarily. After that little incident, everything else ran smoothly. Everything worked properly in the room and the grumpy doorman I guess was off the rest of our stay because it was other doorman who were there throughout our 3 night stay.

I spent several days in this unique hotel. I say unique because I felt like I was staying in a home. I was treated like a family member who had been away on a trip and had returned . Breakfast was always nice as I had the chance to just sit and chat with the delightful staff and other guest. The hotel is within walking distance of many places to eat and bars. When you stay at the hotel you'll start to feel like you're at home and not just passing through !

10 min walk from Copacabana beach; friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms and breakfast included. Also reasonably priced and affordable.
