Great staff, decent breakfasts bundled for some, well located near interesting activities. Much better value than most touristic high end hostelries in Ipanema and Copacabana, but like many foreign-owned franchise hotels, needs some cosmetic sprucing up, e.g. dilapidated furniture.

I woke up and the lights couldnt be turned on. I tried many times and no success. What a bad experience when you are in rush and have to work. Not sure how the system of the hotel works but this is was a bad experience.

I was in business trip so has an opportunity to live in hotel for 2 weeks. Have to say that hotel is pretty good for 3 or 5 days maximum, but for a longer stay it is a bit uncomfortable. Location The location is nice, the first line of Botafogo bay is comfortable from perspective of moving on beach or nearby offices or other buildings. Also there are lot of places within 10 min walk to spend time or eat, also there is supremarket right to the entrance into hotel. The disadvantage is that right above the hotel is plane trajectory ot airport so for first couple days it's pretty unusual to sleep with the noises. Second disadvantage is the neighboring buildings, because of them there is no view from window in accomodation, in best case you will be able to see some space above the roof of supermarket. Room Room has enough space, bath amenities (towels, soap, shower gel), safe, TV, minibar, and table. I had chance to sleep in a twin room with separate beds one of them is very comfortable the other one didn't try =). There some complains about the room: lighting - the master switch and multi switches are not predictable, so you need to struggle a bit to adjust the light in room, but for work it's not enough especially in table area. Doors - glass door into the toilet room is a hell very uncomfortable to use it, since it has self closing mechanism and very small handle to hold it, so sometimes it could be a bit scarry when you forgot to hold that door and it goes with full speed into limiter. Wi-Fi - the most awfull part of room is very bad internet connection, it's not enough to download photo or scroll social media. We can put this into advantage side, but that's not the case of buisness trip Breakfast The main complaint regarding my accommodation in this hotel is breakfast, the assortment of main meals is very limmited, susages and corn pourige for two weeks is not what I usually expect, the variety of other components is stable and moderate in selection, but main meal and side is the same all time. It's better to make food more varied.

Advice: install instructions to use the elevator (must use the card to choose the floors).

The staff were friendly and helpful, the location was excellent, and the breakfast was good. Unfortunately, the cleanliness was well below expectations. The sheets, bathroom, and floors were not properly cleaned. After I complained, I was moved to another room, but although it was slightly better, it was still not cleaned to an acceptable standard. The rooms also require maintenance. Given the price of the stay, I expected a much higher standard of cleanliness and overall condition.

I have stayed at other Novotel hotels in different cities, but unfortunately, my experience at the Novotel in Rio de Janeiro was by far the worst. First, although my booking was for a regular room, I was initially given an accessible/adapted room without any explanation. Second, the door lock/battery stopped working, and when I asked the hotel to fix it, I was told to go upstairs and wait for the service person. I had to go up and down five times before the issue was finally resolved. This was extremely inconvenient and frustrating, especially as a hotel guest. In addition, there was construction work taking place at the entrance, with very little consideration for pedestrians or hotel guests trying to enter and leave the property. It made the entrance difficult and uncomfortable to access. Another disappointing detail was the housekeeping service. This was the first time I experienced a Novotel where, after the room was cleaned, tea bags and makeup/cotton pads were not replenished. These items were provided only on the first day and were not replaced during the rest of my stay. Overall, I expected a much better standard of service from Novotel based on my previous experiences at other locations. Unfortunately, the combination of the room issue, repeated trips to resolve the door problem, construction at the entrance, and inconsistent housekeeping made my stay very disappointing.

I stayed during early July 2026 and the hotel was booked through my work. On the positive side, the hotel is well located close to the university, shopping centre and tourist attractions. Supermarket next door where you can buy water bottles for a fraction of the cost of the minibar. The lobby area has a nice, relaxed yet polished ambience, the staff are attentive and the breakfast was very nice. On the negative side, the rooms are dated (definitely not 4*), there was no iron in the room and reception could not provide one for my entire stay! (I was advised to use Ibis next door to iron my clothes - which was actually very handy). My hairdryer did not work and despite notifying reception it was never fixed. The AC made an awful buzzing sound which was also not fixed, thankfully I didn't need to use this often. Beware the outside area as it felt unsafe at times (especially after sunset).

My shower was not great, for the first two days the hot water wouldn't work. I thought maybe it was the timing on the first day and then reported it on the second day. It was blowing air instead of water and the water would be brown on occasion. It was slightly fixed with maintenance working on it, but it would take 5 or so minutes for it to work and then would intermittently malfunction again a few times. The air conditioner was also very loud and seemed to not have been cleaned for a while.

The hotel gets the job done : comfortable bed, spacious room for a solo traveller, working amenities. I appreciated the fridge and kettle, the opening windows, and the staff making plug adapters available at the front desk. The evening front desk team were also very professional and helpful in 4 (!) languages. I stayed for a 10 days during a work trip and was surprised by the quality of the room service offering. However as other reviewers mention service is irregular: room service alternated between charging to the room and requiring I pay with my credit card. The housecleaning came on average every 3 days. The room also shows its wear in a high humidity climate: I did spot mold around the shower and the upholstery has seen better days. That said, the fan/HVAC worked well and ventilated any lingering mustiness. Despite its higher price point in the area, it should be considered a good, functional, but lower-mid range option, conveniently located between the beaches and the cultural spots.

I arrived and after telling the receptionist at check in that I had already paid for the room ahead, he reiterated that there was no such payment. He processed my credit card and charged me again. Once I confirmed I had been double charged, I was told they would process my reimbursement anywhere between 60 to 90 days... oh wow

I booked this hotel for a one-week getaway with my partner. We reserved an ocean-view room and were very excited about our stay, especially considering that the price was far from inexpensive. I have stayed at several Accor hotels over the years, both for work and holidays, because I trust the brand and its usual standards. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing. The staff at reception were friendly and welcoming, but the room itself was not up to the standard I expected. It looked very worn, with visible signs of age and lack of maintenance on the floors, furniture, and corners of the room. The bathroom was particularly disappointing. The shower had mould around the glass enclosure, making it look dirty and poorly maintained. There were also numerous small flies around the bathroom, and the toilet area had a strong unpleasant smell, similar to that of a public restroom. We reported these issues to reception, and they advised that someone would come to clean the room more thoroughly. While housekeeping did visit, the unpleasant smell remained, and we did not feel that the room had been properly cleaned. My biggest disappointment was the lack of maintenance and attention to detail. The hotel itself has great potential and the location is fantastic, but it doesn’t appear to be well looked after. It gave me the impression that there isn’t a manager regularly inspecting the rooms to ensure they meet Accor’s expected standards. This experience was unfortunately well below the level of quality I have consistently experienced at other Accor properties.

My initial room was very noisy on 2nd floor. Beautiful view to suger loaf mountain, but room was not clean (dirty spots on sheets), shower was leaking and no soap in dispenser. Was not refilled after mentioning it two times. New room on 5th floor was super clean and nice. Same view but still noisy. But I clearly got an upgrade which was very nice. I had dinner in the restaurant but was dissatisfied about the quality. It also took very long before I had it while there were only a few visitors. Breakfast was fantastic. So overal I am very satisfied.

Everything seemed ok until I went to the bar for my welcome drink. The young man at the bar was very nice and helpful. He asked for assistance from a more senior person, who came from the restaurant to help him. The man was short and rude. He told me to join the line at reception to ask about my welcome drink. I had already joined the line about 10 minutes earlier when I checked in. I asked him to help me, as I had already lined up and now I just wanted to relax and enjoy my welcome drink, which after this ordeal became everything but a welcome process. He asked me for my Accor Plus membership, which I showed him, but he insisted that the card on my phone wasn't the correct membership card. He asked me if I knew what a membership card was, with such disrespect and disdain, a truly unacceptable attitude. He asked me to sign the drinks bill with my room number because he couldn’t be bothered to help. I signed it and gave it to the young man at the bar. The rude man then, with an attitude, said he was going to give me the drinks as a courtesy from him. The drinks are an Accor courtesy as part of my membership that I pay every year. They are not from him, so he can’t claim something that is wrong and deceiving to ridicule a hotel guest. The young man at the bar saw what was happening and asked the reception staff to come and help me. Marcelo from reception came to apologise for the rude man's behaviour and try to make things better. By then, my evening was already ruined, and I had just checked in. I have not yet experienced this kind of rude behaviour from hotel staff, and it is unacceptable. Another point to consider is the room. There were only three tissues in the tissue box, and there was one bathrobe for two guests. The restaurant wouldn’t serve an a-la carte dinner because it was Valentine’s Day and they had a set menu. I understand the set menu on certain dates, but the a-la carte menu should always remain available. I wasn’t interested in what was on the set menu, so I had to order food from Uber Eats, not what I had planned when I booked a nice room for Valentine’s Day.
