ibis Rio de Janeiro Botafogo

Location was good. Relatively clean. Shower was hot. There is a small bar on the main floor. For the price the breakfast was the worse I have experienced in any Hotel in RJ. All the little things add up. Watery scrambled eggs made from powder, stale bread, a toaster that doesn’t toast, little wood sticks to stir coffee! Not a very nice breakfast.?

Good location. We got a big room (for accessible though we're not accessible). The bathroom looked like hospital bathroom though. They have great common area. Ac was great, WiFi too, very comfy bed. Staff were kind and helpful The bathroom looked like hospital bathroom The window only opens a little bit, but the ac was great

The efficiency of the hotel was exactly what I needed, stayed one night then I had to travel and they watched my bags, got me to my room fast, just a great experience. The lobby looked dated, not very comfortable, but every thing was great , they could improve that, if that the worst about the hotel, that's a pretty good hotel

Good Na

Small rooms, but everything according to the description

I like the lunch , everything fresh and a excellent price Breakfast also very nice , good shower and bed Well it’s a lot of noise from other rooms , I had a terrible sleep night

Only one glass window so could easily hear all the noise from the streets even though we were on the highest floor.

The location

Breakfast was good, and some of the staff were really nice and kind. Location is perfect. The room smelled like mold, as if it was closed for many days without cleaning. The mattress was thin, no blankets. It was hot, but as I turned the AC on more bad smell came from it. It was really uncomfortable for the amount of money I spent. The staff who welcomed me was kind of sarcastic, and they didn't make me at ease enough for me to fell comfortable to complain about the room.

Great location Slightly cramped

The variety of food. I think it is missing a small gluten free section

Bed was narrow, pillow was too small and soft. The air conditioning was VERY noisy. Extremely overpriced. The hotel announces they have safe box but they don't

You need better quality JAM. The type offered is liquid. Makes a mess!

Nothing

Check was confused even though I had previously Checked In online. App for key did not work

I was late for breakfast and one of the servers Kindly got me some coffee and a bowl of fruit.

I was looking for a place to get acclimated to Rio after my arrival that was safe, near some friendly restaurants and cafes, and close to a metro stop so that I could get into downtown and visit Pequena África. There a few options in Flamengo and Botafogo, and in the end, my familiarity with the Ibis chain in Europe and Africa led me to opt for this hotel. Good choice. As expected, it is modern and rather minimalist, with a clientele that skews a little (but not too) young. The room was comfortable, and the TV, AC, and bathroom stuff all worked fine. The staff was pleasant, and I liked the bar/waiting area off the reception. The best part was the location: a few steps from some great bakeries, cafes, restaurants, and a wonderful bookstore-cafe (Livraria da Travessa) on the way to the nearby Botafogo station (Lines 1 & 2). That whole area around Praça Nelson Mandela is jumping (safely) at all hours with outdoor eating and drinking places, markets, etc. Plus, the scenic beach, with its view of Sugarloaf, is only a couple of blocks away. You don't get many surprises at an Ibis hotel, and in this case that was just fine: the surrounding neighborhood has enough interesting, quirky corners to satisfy anyone's interests. My one mini-gripe was that there was only one elevator working for guests, and it could take a while before it would show up. Also, because I didn't see the "Por favor, arrumar o quarto" door hanger on the shelf next to the phone and put it on the outside knob when leaving for the day, my room was not serviced.

We stayed 3 days prior and had no issues and were happy. Came back after visiting other parts and upon return they did not give me breakfast. They made a mistake in checking in and there was no breakfast. The front desk lady was very rude and did not allow me to speak to manager. We went out and had breakfast and enjoyed. Upon return spoke to manager who totally did not understand me

Nice location, close to restaurants and shopping streets and felt safe walking around in the neighbourhood. Too small room

Staff, processes, they scammed me,
