"Wonderful staff. The place itself is very well located, but the bunkers are not very solid and are made from light wood (I was on the top one and all night waking up because every time the guest underneath me moved, the whole bed moved too). The communal shower is also very tight. Overall, budget friendly for backpackers who don't mind a certain degree of discomfort "

"This was a great first stop in Brazil! There is nothing like starting your journey out in prayer and greatfulness on top of their private mountain with sugarloaf Christ the Redemeer and the other side of the city all within a turn. There are many reading nooks across the property to calm down after all your adventures. The entire was clean and the sheets even had a faint smell of bleach meaning you know you are in a good place. Even the matresses were clean. They have frozen meals for purchase...

"Adorei minha estadia no Aurora Hostel, a galera é receptiva e a infraestrutura é boa! O quarto compartilhado misto com vista pro jardim é ótimo pois tem gaveta pra guardar as coisas com cadeado e cortinas na cama. Também gostei desse quarto pois as camas são beliche e não triliche. A internet também é boa pra quem pretende trabalhar durante a estadia. O único problema é que aqui no hoteis.com diz que tem café da manhã incluso mas eles cobram um valor aparte pelo café."

Royal Rio Palace Hotel

Royal Rio Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I truly enjoyed my stay here. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. They made me feel like I belonged and I was apart of their family. My room was immaculate with a stunning view of the mountains and sauna and jet tub. It’s a 4 min walk to the beach and other attractions. I will be returning for another visit!!"
