Petit Rio Hotel, hotel in Rio de Janeiro

Petit Rio Hotel is situated in Rio de Janeiro’s South Zone, two blocks from Catete metro station and 3.4 km from Sugarloaf Mountain.

Initially we had decided to stay for two nights but decided to take an extra night. The hotel is located in the centre of Rio in a safe street with access to shops and restaurants. The hotel is very clean and modern. The room is very comfortable and the bathroom is very well equipped. Breakfast opens early, at 6.30am, which is good if you want to get your day off to an early start. The staff are attentive and competent. We had a problem with the air conditioning and a technician intervened immediately and was able to fix the problem. I would recommend this hotel.
