I spent a whole week at Rios President for business and this was the worst hotel that I have stayed. The room was dirty and dusty. The room is noisy, I could heard every single person that took the elevator. The breakfast has several options, but all has poor quality and the service is bad. Actually I'm at Rio de... More

If you´ve been to 3-4 star hotels in Rio you already know that they don´t come close to first world standards. Rios Presidente is an average Rio hotel located away from the beaches in a not so nice area but it´s very close (200m) to Lapa, the party area of Rio. The nightlife and restaurants are unmatched anywhere else in... More

I was at this hotel for maybe 15 minutes in total and and it was 15 minutes far too long. I made the mistake of going for a walk around the hotel area and did not feel comfortable at all. Homeless, shifty looking people wandering about everywhere and a strong stench of urine on the streets. I didn't feel safe... More

Ok rooms, except no fire alarms nor emergency exits. Unfriendly staff (except the reception). Unsafe area (got robbed at noon close to the hotel). Pricey compared to what you get.

Am currently staying here for 1 night only thank god!!! Im working in Brasil at bresent and have stayed in around 15 hotels in the last 3 months, i can safely say this one is the worst of all by a long way, the room is untidy when i arrived, on a plus side its bathroom has been recently renovated...

Breakfast was terrific and we found the staff helpful and accommodating. Internet was quite slow and the room was not as clean as I like. Additionally, both hotel and neighborhood are quite noisy. The hotel has a reasonably good location not too far from major sites.

I'm sure it was a great hotel a couple of years ago. It's still a save and mostly clean place to stay and the stuff is friendly but don't expect something inspiring. They serve a good breakfast and the the location is good an central.
