Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel won't work — the policy is strictly no pets.
  • Location is in Barra da Tijuca, not the tourist centre — While great for the Olympic Park and airport, it's a distance from Rio's iconic beaches and downtown attractions.
  • Check-in only until 23:59 — With a narrow check-in window from 14:00 to 23:59, late arrivals could be a problem unless you arrange ahead.
  • Lower rating for the area context — The hotel's general rating (8.3) is slightly below its staff and room scores, suggesting the overall experience is solid but not flawless.
