Clean and efficient.
Clean. Good value. Free shuttle service. Very helpful staff. Useful gymn and steam room.
No window in room, presumably to shut out noise, but felt a bit oppressive.

You cannot stay any closer to the Rio airport.
You cannot stay any closer to the airport. The hotel is part of Terminal 1 that was converted to a hotel. It was sufficient but very basic. But fine for an overnight stay with an early flight the next day.
The only caution is that all of the outlets are 220 volt, so I did not use any of them the night I was there.

Clean and comfortable
The room and bathroom was very clean. Bed was comfortable. Slept well before an early morning flight. The hotel is in Terminal 1. It is an easy 10-15 minutes walk to Terminal 2 where all the flights operate from. I believe there is a free shuttle for those who don't want to walk.

A bit hard to find. It would help if the hotel sent instructions on where to go to catch the shuttle or better signage at arrivals.

Unfriendly
Hotel is outdated, 1980s style.
Receptionists were not able or unwilling to speak english.
Room had no windows.
Pictures on website are not accurate.
It was not worth the $106 i paid.

Exceptionally bad experience
Incredible rude staff, and the rooms had no windows and very bad lighting. Felt like a prison. One of the worst hotel experiences, and I have been to many.

Basic hotel in the now no-longer-operating terminal 1. We arrived at 6.00 pm into what was a leftover from the mid 70’s concrete heydays. The rooms are refreshed with basic furniture and a newish bed, but the rest is very aged. You can walk to terminal 2 indoors which is the only operating one, which is a plus. Staff friendly. Leblon has been left very far behind…
