H Niteroi Hotel
Wow! I stayed at the Hotel Niteroi from 2/12-2/17. It was absolutely amazing. The hotel staff from the front desk, dining hall, security, cleaning ladies and pool bar were absolutely outstanding. I felt warm, welcomed and safe every step of the way! I truly felt like family. I will recommend this ...

Niterói Palace Hotel
The room was spotless and the staff were very helpful especially when asked to sort out the internet connection in the room. The choice of foods for breakfast was excellent.

Solar do Amanhecer
Lovely big room overlooking the ocean. Good choice at breakfast although the tea could be better - I think this is probably a Brazil import issue rather than a hotel issue!

Samba Itaboraí
Clean room, friendly-enough staff and an excellent all you can eat breakfast. It's a bit far from Rio City and the beaches - roughly 50 minutes - , but it's perfect if you want some peace and quiet away from the madness of Rio. I would definitely recommend and I would stay here again.
