Zona Norte, Rio de Janeiro hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel was great for the price. It's nothing fancy but everything worked super well. The front desk staff were extra friendly, the housekeepers a little less but not enough to bother us. The breakfast was decent and the location amazing!! Booking it again next time I go to Rio! "

"Location is amazing, preferred to park the car next door and use Uber for everything, traffic in Rio can be very confusing and not very pleasant to deal with. Hotel has a deal with the car park, very handy. Room need a little update but overall, a good stay. "

"Front desk personnel wonderful . Comfortable "

"Rather spartan but clean. Very difficult to get proper temperature. Room was a bit too warm but became too cold with the air conditioner. A bit of noise from corridor. I was not forewarned that I would need to take a shuttle from Terminal 2 to the hotel and there was no signage. After asking two people in the terminal, I finally learnt where to catch the shuttle. Better information would have been welcome."

"Stayed for 5 nights and had a great stay at hotel National. Viktor at concierge was the best and helped us so much! Thanks for the wonderful time."

"Really great location "

"Buen lugar para el costo de la estadía."

"It has a very good location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was big and comfortable. "

"I have had the opportunity to stay at that place on multiple occasions and I must say that the staff there is exceptional."

"I must report bad practice by a young man at the reception who was there on September 21. I asked him to order me a taxi to the airport at a contact number that I had. Well, when we arrived at the airport the taxi driver charged us a higher amount than the budgeted amount. The person at the reception called a taxi driver who was a friend of his and not the contact that I gave him. Very bad experience because one trusts the hotel staff"
