Top Samba City Hotel Reviews

Américas Granada Hotel

8/10 Good

"The breakfast buffet was nice, everyday, some different food items were served"

Hotel Atlântico Prime

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and helpful staff! Also walkable in Lapa!"

Windsor Guanabara Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and spacious. Check-in and check-out seem to take a long time even when there is no que. The reception area can get a little crowded sometimes as well but this cannot be helped due to the layout. The location was okay, centralised for public transport if this is what you like however, we opted to either walk or use taxis. Although the hotel is located in the centro area, the downside is that there is not a lot to do within walking distance except for the Museu do Amanhã and Metropolitan Cathedral. There are also hardly any restaurants close by compared to if you stayed near Copacabana beach for example. More takeaway kind of places as opposed to sit down restaurants. There are also a lot of homeless people within the vicinity which makes the area not feel as safe as others although we never had any issues. If going out at night I would recommend using taxis rather than walking. Our room was on the 12th floor with a window opening out to the main road. We could still hear the traffic noise from the street."

Downtown Santana Hotel

"This room was very small, but clean, and the staff was helpful. You do have to carry your luggage up a set of stairs."
