The most expensive month is December (around US$ 50 a night), and the cheapest is October (around US$ 40: 20 % less). Months with no bar have no rate loaded yet: the hotel may not have opened sales or released availability for those dates.
This is the hotel's public price, with taxes and breakfast: it does not include loyalty-programme discounts. Rates change: check the day's price before you book. In some seasons or on certain days of the week, the property may require a minimum stay of more than one night.Updated 26/10/2026.
Months marked “·” don't have a rate loaded yet: the hotel opens its calendar in stages. That doesn't mean it is closed. If you're looking at those dates, check anyway: rates show up as soon as the hotel publishes them.
Rio is warm all year round. December to March is summer, with humid heat, New Year's Eve and Carnival; June to August is the Rio winter, drier and milder, and the best time to explore the city.

The rooms are modern and clean, and the reception and dining room are in very good condition. Overall, for the price, it's one of the best. The location is good if you want to be in the city centre.

Clean, tidy room. Good location. Close to several tourist sights. Breakfast runs from 6 to 10 in the morning, so we make the most of the day visiting places.

I liked the location, it's close to the church, the arches, the steps and the centre. At first I thought it was an ugly neighbourhood because we arrived in the early hours, but as the days went by I saw that it's actually lively and very touristy.
