Pullman RJ São Conrado (under renovation)

Worst italian Restaurant in Rio Very poor food quality we Hassan pasta bolognese and it was awful it tasted like canned meat We also had shrimp with garlic sauce very small frozen shrimps in an oily garlic sauce Don’t go there because it’s not a cheap restaurant but it is definitely the worst not to mention the filthy place

The official taxi service at Pullman Hotel, run by Unicoop has dishonest drivers. They will tell you they do not accept credit cards, when in fact, it is possible to pay inside the lobby on a credit card. They also are were dishonest with the rates. Once I saw the rate chart inside the hotel, I realized they charged me double when I arrived to the hotel. They would not reduce the fare for going back to the airport. I've been pursing my refund for several months now. It's a nice property, but not the best location for leisure and tourism.

Despite the fact of being close to some favelas, great location, nice beach and superb sunset, they have a Barbecue at the pool and a DJ on the weekend. recommend the ecotourism near by some of the best trekking

I had a spacious room with a view overlooking the beach and Rocinha. The room was very clean and had a comfortable bed and a very nice lounge chair. Hotel staff were great, room service always arrived earlier than expected and the bars/restaurants onsite are very nice. There were no washcloths in my bathroom, which was strange, and no way to have privacy in the bathroom as there is a clear glass wall between the shower and bedroom... you cannot shower or use the toilet without being seen, and at night I had to close the curtains as anyone in the hotel across from this one could look into the room and see me inside the bathroom thanks to that glass shower wall. The TV was on the small side and didn't have many channels. Found a brochure about avoiding sexually transmitted diseases in my room, too, which was amusing at first but then made me wonder what goes on in this hotel if they feel they need to put literature like that in the rooms. Otherwise, the room and hotel are very nice. Unfortunately, the meeting/convention space in Gavea A is very old and in need of renovation. The carpet was old and extremely filthy (even after hotel staff supposedly vacuumed and cleaned) and smells horrible which made the entire Gavea space smell bad. This space desperately needs to be improved.

In a good neighbourhood, this recently refurbished hotel faces the seaside but the Rocinha farvela in the back cannot be overlooked. It is a short walk to the Sao Conrado metro stop. There is not only the Fashion Mall nearby but also a supermarket used by local residents. The breakfast is sumptious and the staff cheerful and helpful, notably duty manager Sen. Alejandro S.
