Hotels near São Cristóvão

I was in a corner junior suite. I had a stunning view of Sugarloaf and Copacabana Beach. Location on the beach was excellent. I loved this room and highly recommend the corner junior suite. I had breakfast and dinner in the hotel and both were very good.

Accessible by public transportation. Restaurants and stores close by. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Staff was excellent.

Location

Pros: - Modern rooms - Pleasant view - Lovely pool - Nice staff but unfortunately they are understaffed

Loved the location

I liked the way the staff treats people.

No Internet (WiFi) in rooms. Very noisy environment. Some damages in rooms & water doesn’t run hot.

Vila Galé doesn't disappoint you. From the moment you arrive, you are treated with respect and that warm welcome to Rio. This is our second visit. We chose the renovated antique rooms, high ceilings, with "garden view". Some on the first floor, so do bear in mind there are steps to carry your case up, or if a senior, this because lots of Cruise passengers choose to stay here, close to the port terminal of Mauá. Perhaps choose the modern rooms with lift access would suit better. The breakfast is excellent! Airy place, plenty of tables and food Brazilian breakfast to it's best. To pass the time, the picturesque swimming pool is not only a picture perfect but also warm to swim and catch a bit of sun by the umbrellas, whilst getting the waiter to bring you some refreshments. There's a small shop selling women's "light clothes" with Brazilian fabrics and bright flowers and colours. Check in is 3pm but they can store your bags, also on departure, as check our midday. Nothing is too small to please customers. I really recommend here. And we had dinner as well, not included in the rates, but not disappointed either. A brilliant chef coming up with a simple but delicious menu. The area didn't disappoint. A barber opposite, chemists and 3 big supermarkets (turn right from the reception around 15 min walk. One interesting thing was to find that the supermarkets are cash only or pix payments that I don't have a clue what it is. I just want to point out that the location of the hotel is excellent to explore Rio, walking out catching that Uber to Sugar Loaf is as easy as close. A big thank you to the manager, that made me feel at home. If you arrive very early, and they have rooms available, you can go to your room but will pay 1/3 of the rate. It was a saving grace for us as we don't sleep on planes. And the breakfast (not that we were hungry, was good to have a bowl of fruit and tea then crash in bed. Worth asking.

Orla Copacabana was located across the street from the world famous beach. Accommodations were terrific, restaurant served a great breakfast. Staff was amazing and very accommodating. Our room was clean and overlooked the beach. We’ll stay here again!
