How can I get cheap hotels in Rio de Janeiro?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Rio de Janeiro

  1. If you're looking to travel to Rio de Janeiro on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $88. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $225. Staying a short amount of time in Rio de Janeiro is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Rio de Janeiro, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Rio de Janeiro, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Rio de Janeiro, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Top Rio de Janeiro Hotel Reviews

Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the Miramar by Windsor Copacabana. The staff was incredible—attentive, helpful, and always with the best attitude. Something we really appreciated is that they don’t try to charge extra for every little request, like many other hotels do. Needed adapters? They lent them to us with no problem. A kettle to heat up water? Also provided at no extra cost. Honestly, what hotel still does that today? 😌✨ The facilities are modern, very clean, and the location right in front of Copacabana is perfect. And the breakfast… amazing: plenty of options for every taste, everything fresh and delicious. 🥐🍉☕ In short: service 10/10, exceptional attention, and details that truly make a difference. We’d come back without hesitation. 🫶🏽🌊✨"
