Top Selarón Steps Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monte Alegre

10/10 Excellent

"El staff de recepción son muy atentos cuando pueden ayudar. Desayuno muy bien. Ubicación cerca del centro para curtir el Río cultural. , histórico y arquitectura de varios periodos."

Vila Galé Rio de Janeiro

8/10 Good

"The only downside to this property was the location. The surrounding area was very dirty and felt unsafe especially after dark. But the actual property was great, nice breakfast with a lot of options. Several of the staff spoke English which was very helpful."

Hotel Atlântico Prime

"El personal muy tratable!"

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."
