Everything. We spent our last night in Rio in Casa Geranio. It’s definitely worth and it is a completely different experience compared to our hotels in Rio. Comfortable rooms, amazing fresh breakfast, excellent staff, welcoming atmosphere. The building is amazing.

Amazing staff, honestly it was the best experience I’ve ever had in a hotel. They were all super friendly but one in particular was always around to help us and it was appreciated largely.

United Kingdom

We had a wonderful stay at the Novotel RJ Santos hotel. Without exception all of the staff made us feel very welcome. We don’t speak Portuguese but everyone made a great effort to either speak English to us or to understand what we wanted. We had breakfast and our evening meals at the hotel every day and both were exceptional. The food was delicious and great value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean. If we go to Rio de Janeiro again we will definitely choose to stay at this hotel.

Great place to stay in Rio in a fun neighborhood a few blocks from the beach, staff was super helpful and friendly and spoke English very well. It was fun to hang out in the roof bar and also very convenient to have breakfast downstairs, we even had a delicious dinner in the restaurant as well one night.
