Figueira Hotels, Rio de Janeiro

"The hotel is quite busy since there is lots of guests, breakfast was very good with good selection of food. Pool is kind of small. "

"Hotel "

"Terrible staff super slow check in over 40 mins also slow check out . The staff need to learn how to deal with guests . The hotel itself is good and great pool but only open from 10 am . The area around the hotel is not great if it’s you first time in Rio . "

"This is a safe, solid, budget friendly hotel in the heart of the Lapa Samba club area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was decent for the price and area and I felt safe overall. The area is in close proximity to the mosaic stairs and on Sunday there’s an amazing open air market that takes place close by. The area is lively and full of the authentic Brazilian cultural vibe you’re seeking. I had a great time at the Samba bar right across the street, joined a street party that had live musicians from the community just spontaneously breaking out instruments and everyone singing (had to be at least 200+ people). Lots of bars , convenience stores, restaurants, and dancing all around. If you’re familiar with city life the area won’t alarm you. The people were amazing, but keep your wits about you as in any city. There’s a nearby gym you can buy a day pass at. I even got to witness a spiritual ceremony near the arches. Do yourself a HUGE FAVOR stay away from the tourist trap restaurants and visit some of the real local spots— I highly recommend going to a nearby Peruvian restaurant called Panka— thank me later (this is also the same area the open market takes place)! <3"

"Great"

"Lovely stay in Botafogo. Larissa at the front desk was very helpful, as was all of the staff. We were lucky to have a corner room with a gorgeous view of the bay and Sugar Loaf. You can see Christ from the rooftop, which has a bar and food and a pool. Easy to Uber anywhere from here. There are Nespresso machines in the rooms with a charge per pod. We would stay here again!"

"The hotel did not meet our expectations, it does not match the price or the reviews. We got a room without a real window (the window faced the hallway) so there is no oxygen inside. There was an unpleasant smell in the room, which could not be ventilated. The wall near the air conditioning was wet and with black mold. The air conditioning also smelled. It was very unpleasant. The bed was worn, the mattress had a depression in the middle.The breakfast was only basic, the ingredients did not seem to be of good quality. So far the worst hotel I have been to, I would not return."

"Horrible breakfast !!! Just the basic stuff. No jellies, no natural juices, no cakes or flan, no cheese bread etc etc . Zero star for breakfast "

"Rooms are a bit outdated. Breakfast was good, staff was great, and hotel was in a great and safe location. "
