Beyond Unacceptable
This is right in the middle of Lapa party district and for $30 for a Friday night during Carnival, I appreciate that it is cheap, however, some things are just completely unacceptable. When I checked into my room which the cleaners were just leaving I found a good sized room with fridge, twin beds, a wardrobe and TV and a good sized bathroom. However, the sink and co. had not be cleaned and contained male fluid stains en-masse. Both looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months and the floor was also filthy. The bed sheet contained a hand sewn rip too (I mean... seriously?). The shower was very good though I know for sure that everything was beyond filthy. The pillows stank. With such an attitude to hoarding old or broken appliances and linen etc. you can be sure that everything is unsanitary. Aside from that stated above all the staff were really nice, but....that doesn't make up for what I saw.

The front reception staff were lovely. The hotel is old and needs a renovation. It is a block from the famous tourist stairs which was awesome but the area is not a good place to stay if vacationing.

Ridiculously noisy. It may be out of the hotel's control but neighbouring rooms made so much noise that sleep was not possible the first night and near midnight the second night. Good loca5near Selaron steps.

The Americana hotel in Lapa
Hotel Americana is an older hotel functional, the staff were very accomodating, i had an issue with the next room there airconditionor was very loud , they had it set for a certain tempurature, therefor it would shut off and turn itself on intermittingly not too much sleep for a few night . They staff located me to a new room which is great! Located in Lapa close to gloria metro and the cinlandia metro is a ten minute walk with the tram there as well, lots or restaurants around . The price was very inexpensive.

Good location on a quiet street.
Hotel was in good part of town. We were there just to visit the US Consulate which was within walking distance. Hotel was dated and could use a complete renovation, but at least it was clean. Staff was nice.

Maybe give it a miss
Close to Lapa Steps and Lapa nightlife which is great. Service good. The rest is pretty average. Room minimal and old and paper thin walls in a loud area. Practically cannot shower as floods the bathroom. Breakfast is at another hotel which is weird (not that good either). No lift. The street and immediate area could certainly be considered a bit shady at night.

Horrendous!!!
We paid £80 for a double room for 1 night (due to World Cup inflation). We we completely ripped off, this was the worst hotel we have seen in 5 months round South America. Located on a dingy dark road, not at all safe at night. Decor from the 1970s. Dirty room. Strange plastic pillows/duvet which leave you very hot! Wifi only works in reception. Breakfast not included. Staff only speak Portuguese but were friendly, using google translate to communicate. Most I would willingly pay for this room is £5-10. Definitely advise finding a different hotel.

The Spanish Steps (Escadaria Selaron Steps)
We had a terrific time, but this hotel is very old; rubberized pillows, poor bedding quality, and thin walls; not for the Faint of Heart. Internet is superb! The best we found in Rio! Great location, very nice and helpful desk people, but the hotel is far below the standard you would see in North America. The area was very Bohemian, and we loved it, but some people might find it scary except young men traveling in a group. Cab ride @$15.00 to Copacabana Beach, and it is a 5-10 minute walk to Downtown Rio which is well worth a see or a daily walk. The restaurant across from the Spanish Steps (which are 3 doors down) is a GREAT place to eat called The Gastronomia Da Lapa....cheap beer and lots of good food! Lots of security because of World Cup; we felt totally safe, not sure what it will be like after it is all over.

Nice hotel. Simple and no thrills but the staff was excellent. Very helpful in helping us get around Rio. I would be more hesitant to stay there with small kids.
