Finding a hotel in Rio during Carnaval was a challenge but we were pleasantly surprised to find the Jucati Apartment Hotel. It appears to be a converted apartment building - there is a patio in the center with tables and chairs. We were post cruise just spending one night... the two of us had a family suite, on the first... More

The hotel is clean, well located (10 min walk from the beach, 5 from the tube) and cheap, if you decide to rent a car it's easy to find a space and park for free on the street. (Be aware of zero tolerance of drink driving alcahool in Brazil, you might be caught in Rio, specially at night.) We stayed... More

Actually this is not a bad apartment. Staff were nice and helpful. The room was big, you will have a living room, bedroom and a little kitchen. However, it is not really useful for me as I was travelling alone. The bedroom was clean, however, the bathroom was not. And the worst thing was they did not have hot water... More

This hotel was one of the more inexpensive options in Rio for a private ensuite room, and worked out really well for us. Its simple, without a lot of frills, but the rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable and it was located in a cute neighborhood very close to the Metro and to a supermarket. The latter came in...

Great location about a 10 minute stroll to Copacabana beach. About 4 minutes to a large supermarket and 5 minutes to the subway for access to Lapa area. We never felt unsafe walking in the area day or night. Our bedroom window was only about 10 metres from the windows of the building opposite. Without net curtains you needed to... More

I had to spend a single night in Rio before catching a connecting flight. I was with my boss, who stayed in the JW Marriot (for about $650) and I wanted to stay close by in a reasonably priced hotel. Originally I was going to try a hostel, but reviews about bedbugs and the idea of a triple bunk bed... More
