Everything. We spent our last night in Rio in Casa Geranio. It’s definitely worth and it is a completely different experience compared to our hotels in Rio. Comfortable rooms, amazing fresh breakfast, excellent staff, welcoming atmosphere. The building is amazing.

We had a wonderful stay at the Novotel RJ Santos hotel. Without exception all of the staff made us feel very welcome. We don’t speak Portuguese but everyone made a great effort to either speak English to us or to understand what we wanted. We had breakfast and our evening meals at the hotel every day and both were exceptional. The food was delicious and great value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean. If we go to Rio de Janeiro again we will definitely choose to stay at this hotel.

Very nice hotel at a great location next to Copacabana beach. We had a room with a splendid sea-side view on the Copacabana - a bit more expensive than other rooms, but worth the additional money. At the top there is also a great roof top bar with a small pool to cool down (however, the Caipirinhas are less good than on the breach promenade). Staff is very friendly (particularly German-speaking Sascha at the Front desk) and the breakfast ist wonderful (also in a nice room with sea view). All in all a very good choice!
