Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

8/10 Good

"This could easily be over five stars hotel. The lobby is huge and beautiful. The pool is great. The location is amazing very quiet and very nice if you don’t want all the Copacabana and other beaches crowd. The spectacular view from the rooms that’s facing the ocean and the restaurant at level 30 has an amazing view. There is a small shopping Mall 2 min walk and big market 5-7 min walk. Mushrooms are designed beautifully with lots of space but the first one we got was not clean or maintained the way it should be. The only reason I’m giving four stars to display is due to very basic things that every hotel does there was no cover on the mattress. I’m in the protector cover the bathroom did not have the standard items next to the sink like a glass for your toothbrush, etc.. in many areas of the hotel it wasn’t completely cleaned like in the pool area and some other places saying all that I will definitely go back to this hotel"
