Top Hotels Near Cascata do Maromba Waterfall in Rio de Janeiro from AU$36

"Amazing staff and beautiful hotel. Very well located and safe, would come back for sure. The only thing I could complain about was the jacuzzis condition (deep stains and bubbles not working), which made us hesitant to use them. And the breakfast is not included. Other than that, it was perfect."

"This conveniently located hotel was fabulous!"

"The executive suite was very large and the view of copacabana beach and sugarloaf mountain was beautiful. The only issues we had was one toilet did not work for our entire stay and we had issues with our blinds. There were also lots of stains on the carpet and furniture. Some of the furniture was not in great condition, but overall the room looked generally nice. The staff were generally friendly. There was an incident while we stayed where multiple guests got trapped in one of the elevators which resulted in the fire department coming to get the people out. After that, two elevators were down for most of the remainder of our stay. We booked VIP, where you’re allowed free alcohol and water but only to be consumed in the “VIP lounge” which is simply a small couch next two the VIP check in desk. It was quite awkward to enjoy a drink next to the check in desk. And I don’t understand why we couldn’t have taken water from the VIP area, not even one bottle. The minibar was expensive. Overall I think I grossly overpaid for the executive suite with the flaws we experienced, but the hotel common areas were lovely and made my trip to Rio more enjoyable. The rooftop pool was amazing and the staff at the restaurants and bars were very nice. The vibes were great up on the roof."

"Breakfast was good Room with sea view"

"Lovely staff. Beautiful perfect beach 2 mins walk. Fab pool. Amazing room. I hope I can come back."

"Very disappointed. The property itself is nice. The rooms have spider webs. The hot water is hit and miss. Some days you get it and other days you don't. Breakfast is skimpy at best. There are 80 steps I had to take with two 20 kg bags. That is just insane. They don't tell you that at the time of booking. Also, the description of the Azul room is incorrect on Expedia. This room is NOT 568 square feet. Expedia shows free breakfast but the hotel wants to charge you for breakfast. Overall I would not stay here."

" Overall: 6/10 This property feels more like a hostel with private rooms rather than a traditional hotel. It’s set in a beautiful historic Portuguese-style building, which gives it a lot of charm. The atmosphere is very lively and geared toward a younger crowd, with frequent parties and loud music, so it may not suit those looking for a quiet stay. The staff were helpful and pleasant throughout. Most rooms are set up as shared spaces with either four beds or two beds. In private rooms, two twin beds are pushed together to create a larger bed. In my case, the bed itself needed maintenance—the legs were unstable, and I had to adjust or fix it each time I got into bed. The rooms overall are in need of upkeep. While the colorful design adds character, there was mould in the bathroom and visible stains. Housekeeping is not automatic, so you need to request cleaning each morning. My room included a fridge, which was convenient, though most rooms do not. There is also no TV, which aligns with the social, hostel-style concept. On the positive side, the Wi-Fi was excellent, and the food on the menu was very good. One thing to note: be careful walking on the stone pathways around the property, as they can be uneven. Overall, for the price, it’s a decent option if you don’t plan to spend much time in the room and are comfortable with a more social, hostel-like environment."

"The Saionara is close to two metro stations and the main bus station. There are eateries and a market very close by. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are spacious. The shower is excellent. Breakfast is good with all the usual choices. For some reason I was not able to use the internet. I could log on but there was no service which made things a little difficult. "
