Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were quiet due to being windowless, they felt small, dull, and bunker-like, with worn furniture. The service was subpar, with staff struggling with basic operations and offering key mix-ups. The location was convenient for early flights but far from Terminal 1. Dining options were limited in the morning, starting after check-in time. Overall, there were some drawbacks, making it an average stay.
Upon arriving at the hotel after midnight, at the very end of an extremely long corridor, I found the room to be huge with a big bathroom but lacking a window, feeling more like a bunker. The service was very nice and helpful, offering assistance with hot water issues in a professional manner. The location in a deactivated airport terminal was convenient for early flights but had some sewer smell in the bathroom. The dining experience included a buffet with various foods, including raw potato dauphinois. The overall facilities were decent.
The hotel is very convenient for travelers with early morning flights or late-night arrivals being right in the airport building. The rooms are lacking natural light and outside views, but on the bright side, you won't be bothered by airplane noise. Service is top-notch, especially accommodating for airport personnel. The location is perfect for quick airport access but lacks nearby facilities. Dining options are decent, and the facilities are adequate, although basic.
Staying right at the airport was convenient, though lacking windows felt odd, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The service was friendly, despite some room location issues. A good choice for a short transfer stay.
I found the hotel's location to be convenient as it is inside Rio Galeao Airport, only a short walk to the domestic departures. The rooms felt a bit confined without windows, making it suitable mainly for short stays. The service was a mix of positive and negative experiences, with some staff being excellent while others were less friendly. The dining options were good, but the timing didn't align with our early flight. The overall experience teetered between average and below-par.
The hotel offers a fantastic shower experience in each room for a reasonable cost of around $130, but with some issues regarding the promised invoice. The staff is generally helpful and the place is kept clean.
I booked this hotel primarily for the convenient location inside Rio Galeão Airport during an overnight layover. The rooms were simple but clean and provided a decent level of comfort. The service was a mix of helpfulness and a bit of inconvenience due to noise disturbance late at night. Although the dining experience was basic, the breakfast offered a good variety of items. Overall, considering the unique location, it was a good value for money stay.
The hotel is a fantastic value for money with near-perfect cleanliness. The rooms, however, are small, dull, and have worn furniture and fittings. The location is very convenient as it's inside the airport, making it ideal for overnight stays. The dining options were included in the rate, although some found the timings inconvenient. The facilities are lacking in quality and maintenance.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located within the airport, making it ideal for those with early or late flights. The service was exceptional, from the transfer driver to the restaurant team. However, the rooms fell short of the high standards claimed, being dark and small. While the dining options were good, they started late for early flight catchers.
The hotel is conveniently located within the airport, making it ideal for early flights. The room without windows felt a bit closed off, but it served its purpose for a short stay. The service was lacking in helpfulness, and the linens and staff quality were below expectations. The location is practical for airport access, but lacks warmth. The dining options were limited and expensive. Overall, a mixed experience with some convenience and some disappointments.
The hotel has a fantastic shower in each room, providing a spa-like experience. However, the rooms are cramped and have some cleanliness issues. Service is friendly but lacks proactive assistance. The location is convenient for airport stays but feels isolated. The dining options are limited and not suitable for early departures.
