Everything you would expect from a Novotel. Nice bright hotel with good sized bedrooms with ample shower space. Efficient check-in and staff spoke very good English. Restaurant was bright and the food was a good standard and delivered quickly. Nice bright bar on the ground floor with reasonably priced beer. Internet worked well in the restaurant and lobby/bar but not... More

I truly enjoyed staying at this hotel because it was situated in the right place. I wanted to be in the Copacabana area, and was very pleased. I was glad for the free internet, and welcomed the use of a refrigerator. I was impressed with the pactical room space, even though the view was not that attractive. The staff were... More

The Novotel Santos Dumont Hotel is a good option for business travellers who need quick access to the Santos Dumont airport and to downtown Rio businesses. Our room was clean and reasonably sized with a good and free internet connection. The shower was excellent but the bathroom itself was quite small. Breakfast is an extra USD $17.00 per day but...

I stayed here in january 2013, the first time I entered the room I saw men hair on three different spots, they moved me to another room as soon as I phoned the reception. So I don't think that cleaning should be rated as 4 or 5 but other than that it's a very well located hotel with helpful receptionists.... More

I travelled to Rio for a logic conference. I consider myself a very seasoned traveller but Brazil manages to make me a little nervous - the kidnappings, the run-down sections of the city and the obvious grinding poverty of many people you mix with on the street. For that reason, in this instance I was very grateful to be staying... More

Standard reliable novotel mid range hotel quality at, for Rio, reasonable prices. Very convenient if you're travelling through Santos Dumont airport. No other redeeming features for the area. So its fine for what it is, but cannot understand how it currently rates 5th in Rio !

Good business hotel. It's a little pricey, specially if you consume something in your room or in the restaurant. You can pay over U$ 5 for a little bottle of water. It's very close to Santos Dumond airport, Vivo Rio and Rio's downtown, tough. It's very convenient if you are comming from São Paulo. Lapa, Rio's bohemian neiborhood, is also... More
