Governador Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Excellent friendly staff. Free bike rental. Great breakfast options and good food. Nice pool and view point over Ipanema beach. Nice clean rooms"

"Booked this place with regards to enjoy my birthday celebration and all I can say is that my Ocean front view checked out all the boxes! Victoria at the front desk was extremely helpful at initial check in. The rooftop bar and pool were a nice addition. Will definitely be back."

"The location and friendly staff "

"Yes, room was very clean and housekeeping came everyday to change out the sheets. Everyone was friendly and very helpful with questions regarding maneuvering through Rio"

"Great hotel and great breakfast. Room was clean and comfortable. Beach right across the street. A little bit out of town which makes it slower and quite but main attractions are about a $8-10 uber ride...get uber which is cheaper than taxis. Overall, highly recommend but if you're looking for night life, stay in town at the main beach area."

"Location location location....the hotel is in a very good area and it is directly across the street from the beach. I love the atmosphere, and great customer service ☺️. I would highly recommend this hotel"
