Top Lapa Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Location, food, restaurants , gym, pool staff , clean rooms were all excellent, Except for the dangerous stairs that one takes from the pool into the beach that is derailed and is about to collapse , while a few wires are holding it from falling , a liability waiting to happen and a guest unfortunately hurt , God forbid bc of negligence . Also the beach umbrellas and chairs are outdated and poorly kept."

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro

8/10 Good

"It's a great hotel for the location. Near Cinelandia and Lapa, short ride to several businesses, consulates and Santos Dumont airport. Perfect view of the Sugar Loaf mountain from the rooftop by the pool. Staff was attentive and helped with what they could. However during my stay, the boiler broke down and there was no hot water for several hours into the night, so no hot shower that day. I also was shocked they didn't have a proper business center (with a "business " name and everything). TV only had local channels and awful signal, so couldn't even check/watch some of the World Cup. Wifi was a hit or miss, often only working in the lobby area. 2 elevators and one was under repairs, so 1 elevator for 19 floors, I was using the stairs often. Breakfast was excellent. If they fixed whatever wasn't working during my stay, it's a great hotel."
