Top Santíssimo Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome!"

Regency Barra Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This is a 3 star hotel, not the 4. Hallway cleanliness was below 4 star expectations. Our shower had black mold in the grout. Mold was also where we had to hang the towels on the hooks on the wall. Breakfast was ok, too many breads that taste the same, eggs were below average. Only fruit and yogurt saved breakfast. Pool - grout had mold, so I did not even swim. Beds we comfortable and clean sheets we changed daily. That was good. Location is good, beach is close."

Radisson Barra Rio De Janeiro

8/10 Good

"The staff were unhelpful and definitely not a place to stay if you are an english speaking tourist. At times, they will not be able to help any requests and will speak about you to eachother in front of you. If asked for help, staff will leave to “fix the issue” and disappear for 10 minutes despite telling you it’ll be a few minutes. Upon retuning, they’ll greet coworkers, go behind the counter and “work” on stuff until approached again regarding request. Definitely needs better staff but otherwise, good and growing location, close enough to attractions. Generic requests are well received and most times, staff was great and helpful, just something to be weary about for anyone coming in with poor portuguese."

Rio Aeroporto Hotel Galeão

8/10 Good

"The location is great. We had an early morning flight.Our room was large and quiet. But with no windows, it felt like a concrete bunker.The air conditioner was noisy and the temperature control was difficult to use, so we turned it off overnight. The breakfast buffet was good and the transfer to and from terminal 2 was easy. The restaurant staff were goid. The reception staff were not friendly at all. Not one smile It feels like they are not doing much until the new owners take over"
