Question

Does anyone know of any really nice/cheap places to stay in rio near copacabana beach?

Answer 1

If you have travel partners, renting an apartment will be cheapest alternative. Location is key. You want one on a main road so getting a taxi is easy but the room itself you want toward the back or interior , not facing the street. The buses and traffic can be loud and exhaust fumes get trapped in those dense "canyons". Be sure to know ahead of time if it has hot water, airconditioning, etc. It's perfectly okay to ask to view the apartment before you commit as well.

Answer 2

hiii!!! I'm Brazilian, but i don't live in Rio de Janeiro (there is very beautiful but the place more violent of the country, because have some slum).

the best place is Santa Catarina ( beautiful state with many Beaches in ur cities)

Answer 3

hi there. I´m from rio and let me give you a piece of advise:

Unless you want to get seriously sick, forget about rio, because of dengue epidemic !

There´s no cure, no vaccine and no public hospitals.

There´s no safety, the weather sucks, and all you see on TV is a big lie !

But if you wanna go to a place where the beaches are nice with warm waters, warm wind and cheap hotels ( from 20US dollars a day) go to bahia, porto seguro

Answer 4

I'm living in Rio now,  I would recommend google hostels in rio,  they are inexpensive and clean.  There iwll be a small community of international backpackers there, just here to have fun.

instant friends to hang with.

there are hotels all over the place here in Ipanema and Copacabana.  check

www.tripadvisor.com for some reviews - they review hostels and bed and breakfasts too.

Answer 6

There  are  hotels  all over  copacabana  and i think the  nearer  the beach, more expensive. There are  so many sites that give  good rates like http://realtravel.com/a-178952-rio_de_ja...

once i needed a good  hotel for  a friend  and Real  Residence which is  an aparthotel had the best rate  at the time.  its  a 3 to 5  minute  walk  from the  beach with ok services.

Answer 7

If you are going to stay a week or longer, consider renting an apartment instead of staying in a hotel.  The good side of renting an apartment is it's cheaper, has a kitchen (can eat breakfast/snacks, larger refrigerator for drinks, etc.), larger in size, more privacy.  The down side is you don't have a maid changing the sheets and towels every day.  I use Vanna at www.vannarioflats.com.br.  She speaks English and is very honest.  She doesn't own any apartments but gets her pay from the landlord.  Tell her what you want and she'll arrange it.  She's also good on telling you the latest scams.  She needs a security deposit (when you get there) but the contract indicates she received the security deposit and she'll give you back your exact bill(s) when you check out.
