Hotel Inglês  

Can't remember one thing.

Pitiful. Got into the hotel from a long bus ride about 7 in the evening. They didn't have a map of the city and it's in an unusual area to refind at night. Bed was literally a piece of plywood with a 1 inch pad on it. Really sore in the morning. To be fair, I later stayed in another hotel that had this same kind of "matress" so it must not be something too unusual in Brazil. Tiny bugs in the room and had bites on hands in the morning. All walls needed plaster repair and paint. Dirty walls. Breakfast room not much bigger than my hotel room and tables left dirty so had to be cleaned off after new people came in.

The reason why we initially chose this hotel was pricing due to rooms being so expensive on new years eve. Most of the staff were very helpful or tried to be helpful. Price was reasonable including the new years eve price.

The blonde lady at reception was terrible. She lied to us on one occasion and on another when the hot water wasn't working, she said to leave the tap running for 30 mins which still did not fix the issue as they had run out of hot water. Further to this, there was not one single english channel on tv, this was not the case in any other hotels as even the standard channels had some english or subtitled programs so this was an issue with this hotels service. The shower was barely large enough to fit my wife in who is a very small girl, let alone me. The bed sheet was not fitted so it kept on moving off the bed exposing the mattress, if you can imagine in your own bed this isn't the biggest issue but when it is a hotel it is. We had issues re payment saying that we hadn't paid and we had to prove that they had deducted the money already. Overall it was a terrible experience and I would actually like some sort of compensation for this terrible experience.

Wonderful location across from garden of the Catete Palace, between Flamengo and Glória.

The dark, small halls, dark small rooms.

very good location!

the only downside of my Brazil trip was the bed bug bites i got to take home with me..:(

Friendly and helpful staff. One block from the metro station and the House of the Republic

I tried to contact them regarding a confusion on the booking system (actually, it was a problem generated by booking.com), but they did not answer. To their credit, they fixed the problem in situ with out any complications. Room was smaller than I hoped.

Clean. Good location.

Even though it was one of the cheapest hotels in Rio, I was able to find another hotel in the area of almost half the price - not a nice though of course. Booking.com should include real backpacker/budget places as well.

It is very close to the Flamingo park and beach, and close to the metro station of catete. You can walk up to St. Teresa

The hotel is a little run down, with old furniture and an old bathroom.

We booked in here as we were going to be in Rio during in Carnaval, and by the time we were booking most hostels were booked out. However, this hotel worked out nearly the same as hostels were charging for that time of year (Carnaval). Had to book 5 nights but this seemed to be standard for any accomodation in Rio (and other areas of Brazil) during Carnaval. We booked a triple room which was a good size and had two bathrooms. Was also very close to the metro station.

The only real issue we had was that we booked in for 5 nights but the rooms were not cleaned once during our stay. The only thing that really needed changing was towels, as there were two bathrooms, but as we were backpacking we had our own (and we could have asked but didn't).

The only thing the hotel had in its favor was the location.

My TV did not work. They made no attempt to fix it. Their elevator was a death trap. When I tried to free myself after being trapped I got shocked. I ask for a big bed. I recieved a twin and a regular bed that kept sliding appart when ever you turned. for the money it was a very poor value

O hotel divulga que é duas estrelas, mas na verdade é abaixo do básico. é mais caro que um hotel "Formula One", porém muito mal-cuidado. Não havia sequer uma toalha de banho em meu apartamento, que estava cheio de pernilongos. As fotos do site não correspondem aos quartos. O café da manhã deveria ser opcional, porque é péssimo.

Alguns atendentes simples e atenciosos. Hotel antigo e limpo que nos remete ao passado, é bem bacana.

Sim. Um atendente, senhor já, muito mal educado se aproveitou do fato de eu não saber dos taxis do Rio e "roubou" meu dinheiro. Perguntando aos taxistas quanto ficaria do hotel para o Galeão, me diziam sempre a mesma faixa de preço, entre 40 e 50 reais. Quando fui perguntar para ele, ele desmentiu e falou que era mais de 80 reais, mas que conhecia um taxi que era 70. Acreditando nele, aceitei e ele chamou o taxi para mim. Conversando com o taxista, o mesmo disse que ele cobra do local do hotal até o Galeão ele poderia cobrar até 55 reais, 60 no máximo. O que ele também falou é que, quando o recepcionista o chama, ele dá uma grana pra ele pelo serviço de chamá-lo, pelo favor, grana extra. É muita má vontade e caráter de um cara fazer isso com um cliente, hóspede em seu hotel. Não sei se voltaria a ficar no hotel por isso, não pelos 15 reais, mas pelo fato de agir de má fé.

Só da localização.

Não gostei das acomodações, porque são precárias, o hotel não faz a limpeza adequada dos quartos e tudo é muito usado e com cheiro de mofo, além de os lençois e fronhas serem muito finos e terem aparência de sujos e as toalhas não podem estar mais encardidas porque já passaram do fim do tempo de uso, são nojentas. O café da manhã é simples e o local que eles servem é um antigo pequeno quarto que fica com a porta do banheiro aberta. O elevador está muito velho e é improvisado. O preço cobrado pela estadia não condiz com os serviços prestados. Até mesmo hostel costuma ter uma preocupação maior com a manutenção do local, móveis, roupas de cama e banho e com os lugares em que transitam os hóspedes.
