First we have to remember that Rio de Janeiro downtown is a old place, unkempt, noisily and, sometimes, stinky. So is quite normal find Hotel in downtown with these characteristic. Arcos Rios is a old Hotel recently renovated, is clean and the room has a good size, good bathroom and well maintained, but the air conditional system is noisily and... More

My stay here was booked through a tour, so unsure about the cost, but wouldn't recommend the place. Room was small and needed updating. There was a safe in the room, and despite asking the staff to unlock it, I was unable to actually gain access for storage of my passport. Breakfast was OK - good range of fresh fruit.... More

Rooms, internet, service, price, etc are ok. Their strongest points are the good breakfast and the great dinner with many options of tasty homemade food! Excellent location thinking of proximity to places to go working. Getting out when night falls you find many many options to have a good time.

Nice hotel in good central location. Bathrooms were spotless, quiet place to sleep even though it is situated on an incredibly busy, noisy road (bed and pillows were a little hard), adequate breakfast provided. The area is considered rough and dangerous, but as a single female traveller I walked around the area day and night without feeling threatened

Stayed here as part of a Toucan Tours (booked through On the Go Tours) trip. On walking into the reception it was plain to see that renovation work was being undertaken, as it didn't have a ceiling and all the light fittings were dangling down. The bar was also closed for renovation - but there wasn't any sign of workmen... More

I would stay there for 2 days, but left the hotel 10 minutes after arrived. The whole hotel is dirty and the smell inside rooms are terrible. If you are looking for a place to crash in city centre, go to Ibis.

The hotel is very clean and staff all seemed very helpful and friendly. I could not sleep my first night due to extremely hard mattresses. I got sleep after triple layering... More
