I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Monte Castelo, which is nestled in a charming residential area that really lets you soak up local culture. The staff were exceptionally polite and helpful, addressing all my queries. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring fresh fruits and coffee, although the rooms were quite basic and a bit on the small side. Though the value for money was good with competitive pricing, the lack of ventilation in my room made it somewhat stuffy at times.

Hotel Monte Castelo is a practical choice for budget travelers looking for a clean and basic place to stay in Rio. The location is convenient with easy access to the metro, and the staff is helpful. However, the rooms are on the smaller side with very basic amenities, and the breakfast options lack variety.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located a few blocks from Gloria Metro Station. The staff was mostly friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were clean, albeit small. However, the breakfast was quite repetitive and the bathroom could use more space. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly place if you don’t mind the basic accommodations.

My experience at Hotel Monte Castello was quite mixed. While I found it to be a budget-friendly option in a safe neighborhood, the service left much to be desired due to issues with my reservation. The location is convenient for exploring Rio, but the small, dark room and high phone charges were disappointing. Overall, it has its pros and cons, but I probably wouldn't return.

Rooms

The room was very small, practically without a window, and felt dark and humid. It had a closet, table, and chair which were enough for my needs, but lacking overall comfort.
Service

I had a nice stay at a hotel that offered great value for the price. The location was convenient for exploring the city, and the staff was incredibly helpful. However, the rooms were small, especially the bathrooms, which made things a bit cramped. Breakfast was decent, but it could use more variety to keep things interesting.

Rooms
6.0
I found the rooms to be quite small, particularly the bathroom, where space was limited, making it difficult to move around comfortably. We had a basic setup with a bunk bed, but the cleanliness was inconsistent.
Service

The service was exemplary. Staff like Fabricio at the reception went out of their way to assist us and were friendly throughout our stay.
Location
7.0
The hotel is located within walking distance of many attractions, which makes it easy to explore. However, it was situated in a slightly rundown area, but it felt safe as we walked to nearby sights.
Dining
7.0
Breakfast was satisfactory with enough options like bread, cheese, and fruits, but I do wish there were more choices to avoid monotony during my stay.
Facilities
5.0
The facilities were basic; there was no fancy lounge or amenities to enjoy after a long day, which would have added to the experience.
