Ponto Chic Hotels near Rio de Janeiro

"The A/C wasn't working so it was warm in the room without windows and there wasn't any hot water. The shuttle service did not operate as indicated so we walked from and to the hotel from Terminal 2. Fortunately the location of the hotel was the primary benefit, it was about a 15min walk."

"The best of the 4 hotels we stayed in during our visit to Rio. The only one that wasn’t full of mosquitoes ☺️ lovely rooftop pool made it feel like a holiday vs hostel.. good air conditioning too. "

"Slow check in, food good but took a long to arrive. Great outside swimming pool & courtesy coach to and from airport. Shower in room didnt work properly."

"Hotel was ok, breakfast was average, staff don’t speak English and a bit unhelpful. Room is tiny. Best part of this hotel is location next to shopping centre. "

"Perfect"

"Most staff don’t speak English - very few. Have your translator app ready if you don’t speak Portuguese. "

" This hotel had many wonderful reviews, which is why my boyfriend and I decided to stay here. Unfortunately, our experience was not what we expected. When we first entered the room, we immediately noticed several issues. The air conditioner was leaking water onto the floor, the restroom had no fan, and there were no small towels for bathing. The room itself was also very small. Another inconvenience was that there was no iron in the room—the iron and ironing board are located on the 10th floor, and you must request a special key from the front desk because your room key does not allow access. The shower also did not appear very clean. Housekeeping was another problem. We requested that our room be cleaned, but it was not cleaned for several days after the request. We also asked for additional towels and were told they would be placed in our room, but we never received them. During our trip I unfortunately missed my flight, so my boyfriend extended our stay. However, the extension was never updated in the hotel’s system. Our room key suddenly stopped working, and when I went to the front desk they said they had no record of us staying there. Even after showing receipts and booking confirmations, they couldn’t locate it. After about 45 minutes they finally fixed the issue and gave me a new key. Later that night, while I was alone in the room, I heard repeated knocking around 11 PM. When I asked who it was, there was no response. The knocking continued until after midnight."

"I really enjoyed my stay..i had lower expectations and waa pleasantly surprised. Room was clean and comfortable. AC waa nice and cold, breakfast was free and standard( some variety). Amenities ( pool, sauna, pool table, board games, ironning roo) were convenient. The best thing was the Service and the concierge. The guy at the front desk was welcoming , nice and informative...he made the stay feel safe and comfortable as he told me al the scoop, the hotspots, the do,'s and donts and spoke very good English."
