Top Guanabara Bay Hotel Reviews

Hotel Atlântico Prime

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and helpful staff! Also walkable in Lapa!"

Windsor Guanabara Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and spacious. Check-in and check-out seem to take a long time even when there is no que. The reception area can get a little crowded sometimes as well but this cannot be helped due to the layout. The location was okay, centralised for public transport if this is what you like however, we opted to either walk or use taxis. Although the hotel is located in the centro area, the downside is that there is not a lot to do within walking distance except for the Museu do Amanhã and Metropolitan Cathedral. There are also hardly any restaurants close by compared to if you stayed near Copacabana beach for example. More takeaway kind of places as opposed to sit down restaurants. There are also a lot of homeless people within the vicinity which makes the area not feel as safe as others although we never had any issues. If going out at night I would recommend using taxis rather than walking. Our room was on the 12th floor with a window opening out to the main road. We could still hear the traffic noise from the street."

"I did not stay long enough! I had an early flight. But will be back soon. Thanks"

Plage Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel bem localizado em frente a praia e no ponto final do ônibus. Muito barulho dos ônibus no quarto 214. Pedi para me mudarem para o andar de baixo quarto 101. Havia barulho do quiosque em frente. Mas era menos pior que o barulho dos ônibus. O hotel estava lotado por causa do Rock in Rio. Tem um restaurante que finciona 24 horas. Comida boa. O café da manhã é bem comum."

Quarto privativo em condomínio

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente servicio, lástima que solo estuve un tiempo corto, pero muy buena atención y el lugar limpio y nuevo!"

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro

10/10 Excellent

"Good rooms, everything was pretty clean. Close enough to everything I had to visit."

Hotel Orizzonte Niterói by Atlantica

10/10 Excellent

"It was an off beat location but a completely private compound with gated security to enter! The front desk staff were very helpful and spoke English but no one else was English speaking making it difficult to order food and drinks but we made it work! It has an amazing pool grounds level and a wonderful well kept large hot tub, and sauna with a colder shower to keep balance. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated- definitely a nice place if you are looking for just a place feel comfortable and relaxed- it is an uner ride away from great restaurants and beaches but nothing is really close."

Hotel Atlântico Avenida

8/10 Good

"Everything it’s was good!!"

Hotel Cantareira

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff "
