Know of a good hotel very close to the Santos Dumont airport in Rio? Not too pricey, please.?

Question

We don´t have $ to be taking taxis everywhere & we have business just outside the airport.

Answer 1

One very nice hotel nearish Santo Dumont airport is the Hotel Gloria.  Very Nice.  But for good clean and US quality the best deal for your money is the IBIS.  I think the cost is R$139 per night.  This seems high but it is not for Rio.  The other hotels in the area can be very CHEAP indeed.   That area at night is a little like the red light district so don;t go too cheap.

Answer 2

Hotel Gloria is VERY EXPENSIVE 5 stars hotel.

No real good hotel near the airport. The area is not good. I mean, it can be ok during working hours, but at night and during weekends it is a VERY DANGEROUS AREA.

Reasonable hotels (clean, safe and inexpensive, but not very comfortable) near there (in order from the smallest distance from the airport to the biggest):

* Ibis Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont ( link http://www.accorhotels.com.br/guiahoteis... );

* Aeroporto Othon Travel ( link http://www.othonhotels.com/br/H00281/POR... )

* Formule One (link http://www.accorhotels.com.br/guiahoteis... ) - this one is not exactly close to the airport, but taxi will cost only US$ 5 (yellow taxi - there´s a big line of them in front of the airport). It is the newest hotel in Rio, very clean and probably the cheapest reasonable option you will have).

Answer 3

Ibis is the best for you, honestly.

Last time I spent a night there (in march) it costed me R$121 + R$10 if you have breakfast in.

Answer 4

To cheap to get a hotel room in Ipanema I see.

Answer 5

all the answers above are wrong and misleading you to a wrong place.

If you wanna waste few bucks go to praça Mauá (mauá square) and choose any cheap hotels around and be happy
