This is the most horrible hotel I ever stepped in. I can't even imagine how it can be called a hotel and how the City of Rio gave this place a license to be open (I checked the license on the wall and it was valid). I felt so bad to put my family in this place. We left NY... More

Forget the name of " hotel" and "guesthouse". It is a safe place for you to spend the night in case you lose a connection, take a flight delays or even travel by night. Especially if you bring in suitcases valuables and not want to risk sleeping on a bench uncomfortable airport with suitcases without any protection. Be realistic and... More

This place reminds me of my gap year when I stayed in dreadful backpacker dives due to student budget constraints. However, this dump doesn't come cheap (around 240 reals for the night) because of Carnival and its location at the airport as we had a flight to catch at 4.35am. The room was basically a windowless closet with a small... More

The only pro was its location, in the airport itself. Otherwise, a nightmare. The tattooed, long haired guy at the counter kept on singing loudly to the radio all the time I was there. When I paid him the 188 reais he had the nerve to ask me to leave the change as a tip for the employees. The room... More

This Posada/Hotel is part of the Actual GIG - Rio De Janeiro Galeao Airport. Because there are no options to stay at at this airport or near the airport (to my knowledge). This becomes the only option. The location is convinient if you missed your flight and you must sleep overnight. The price was a little too much $188Reals for... More

I didn't like this hotel and would not stay there again. It was okay because we just needed a place to sleep at the airport but I never felt well in this hotel. Don't expect much. It was clean but very dimly because it's completly without windows.
