Hotel Novotel RJ Praia de Botafogo 4 estrelas

Novotel Praia de Botafogo is a nice hotel. It does have a good localization in Rio de Janeiro. But there are a few drawbacks: shower is bipolar - extremely hot or extremely cold. And although you have nice Panasonic flat screens, there's no HD channels.

The bald-head man at the hotel reception is not polite enough. He is rude. Otherwise we would have had a great stay in Rio de Janeiro. I will never go back there at Botafogo Novotel. On the other hand the room attendant and the restaurant staff were very pleasant, excellent.

on Arrival Room Key not working, down again with luggage and up again to the Room after a 20hours trip. The Stuff very unfriendly - I am a platinum Member - but not even a Please or Thank you ... it was just like ... Credit Card ... Passport etc. In the Room still dirty Kleenex next to the bed ... believe it or not they stayed there for 3 days I Need go to the reception frequently because the Key is not working and other guest I met in the Elevator has the same Problems but the stuff and reception explained that it is my fault... - I showed them the pictured of the Kleenex and ask them friendly to clean the room well. ... next day no shampoo in the room ... they forgott to pick up the laundy ... sorry to say but this is one of the worst Hotels according to the Service I ever been. The Stuff is more than unfriendly in the end of the day i am sure this was my last stay in this Hotel

The Novotel brand seems to be of good quality in Brazil (I also stayed Novotel in Sao Paulo) This location in Rio was beautiful view across from the beach and a park shopping was a2 minute walk.and the attraction are close by. Breakfast was of amazing quality and the service impeccable and good understanding of English. Thumbs up

Such a Nice View of Botafogo Bay and Pão de Açucar, Fresh and new rooms with very good services and facilities Family envoiroment Honest price with good cost benift Standar Breackfast Bar is very nice

Stayed here before and will stay again. Hotel located in a nice neighborhood with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. public transport not far away. Beach is across the street (although crossing it is a challenge). Room is nice and well renovated, bathroom is big. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. on the down side I would mention the views (most rooms have a wonderful view of the alley....) and the price which is somewhat expensive for the different alternatives.

Sleek, sexy, affordable hotel in a great location. Close to businesses, shopping, restaurants and the beach, all within a safe walking distance. I will return, even for personal travel. The staff where helpful, kind and patience even for those of us who didn't speak Portuguese. A wonderful accommodation in a beautiful city

The hotel staff was very attentive and provided important information that greatly aided me in the transportation decisions and visitation sites. I would also like to point out that although the hotel does not have a pool the whirlpool is a great leisure option.

Excellent view of Sugar Loaf in a nice building and location. Near the Botafogo underground station and Botafogo Beach Shopping. Efficient and polite staff. Wonderfull breakfast. Very confortable room with a nice bathroom also with a view of Sugar Load (Pao de Acucar).

First impressions were very good: met at the door by charming young man, Junior, who encouraged my poor Portuguese. Check in lady gave me an upgrade to a sea view as I have Gold Accor card. And what a view of Sugarloaf! Everything is new and I think it must be one of the best in the Novotel brand. Botafogo is a nice district, though the water at the beach is dirty. Close to metro.
