Hotel OK

10/10 Excellent

"The team at this hotel went above and beyond to assist me during my stay. I would like to thank each and everyone at the front desk and front area that helped me while I was there. Special shout out to Rodrigo, Questa and the two gentlemen (one of them of African decent) that worked the desk and lobby the evening of August 22nd. They were very kind and super helpful as well. Thanks everyone for making this an amazing vacation."

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro

8/10 Good

"It's a great hotel for the location. Near Cinelandia and Lapa, short ride to several businesses, consulates and Santos Dumont airport. Perfect view of the Sugar Loaf mountain from the rooftop by the pool. Staff was attentive and helped with what they could. However during my stay, the boiler broke down and there was no hot water for several hours into the night, so no hot shower that day. I also was shocked they didn't have a proper business center (with a "business " name and everything). TV only had local channels and awful signal, so couldn't even check/watch some of the World Cup. Wifi was a hit or miss, often only working in the lobby area. 2 elevators and one was under repairs, so 1 elevator for 19 floors, I was using the stairs often. Breakfast was excellent. If they fixed whatever wasn't working during my stay, it's a great hotel."

Américas Granada Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente servicio de todo el personal"

Hotel Atlântico Avenida
