Yoo2 Botafogo by Intercity, Rio de Janeiro

Excellent

The hotel is in a perfect location, right in front of the Sugarloaf Mountain, and the staff was very attentive and provided all the support we needed. Additionally, the room was very clean, well-organized, had a good size, and met all our needs.

The shower leaked a little water onto the bathroom floor.

Great Staff attention. We were 9 in the family and arrived and left at awkward hours and the staff was tremendously polite and helpful. We will return for sure.

Great location.

The staff in the hotel were the most unhelpful I have ever seen. The room was not properly cleaned and the condition of the room was really poor.

Beautiful interiors, rooftop bar with pool, gorgeous views, great breakfast, exceptional staff.

- View from the room

- Service - Staff - Quality of facility - Outdated facility - Dirty - Old ambience - Overpriced!

Staff was friendly

Not clean

Was sooo good the view is amazing. The staff is amazing as well, always giving u advice and place to eat, drink. My bed was sooo comfortable.

..

The “Hilton” name is misleading and we expect much more, hotel is old. The only good thing is the nice view on the rooftop which you can spot the Christ the Redeemer from a distance.

Electric adapters are located very low close to the floor, hard to charge phones and the water kettle has to be placed on the floor to get water boiled. Door of wardrobe doesn’t close properly thus lights are turned on all night long.

Great location

English good

Nice terrace

My friend’s bag including her passport was stolen from the lobby by a stranger entered inside. All incident was clear on security cam. The hotel management only helped by providing support on arranging cars and a night of stayed but stoped communication afterwards. My friend has paid thousands of dollars for this trip but due to the incident she had to return home just in second day!

Nice but not secure!!

We just spent 9 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great location to reach the city’s sites, restaurants, bars and night life. Excellent breakfast buffet. Good gym for both weight and cardio training. Lovely, scenic rooftop pool and sun loungers. Our room was very comfortable with a good bed. Spectacular views over Botafogo Bay and the Sugarloaf. Friendly and helpful staff, especially Yan on reception and Davi at breakfast. We certainly recommend this hotel.

Great spot, great view, amazing staff (all of them), great breakfast, beautiful rooftop, great gym, the room service was excellent, the room clean and cosy, we stayed for 10 days and really felt like home.

Clean and service

Nothing

Wonderful food

Great location in Botafogo with easy access to broader Rio with the metro nearby. Staff were lovely throughout, and breakfast was of a great quality with numerous options. Rooms were very comfortable and I felt lucky having a view of Christ the Redeemer from the bathroom! The rooftop facilities and restaurant were also lovely. Very much enjoyed the stay.

Excellent location, the staff were very professional but also kind and warm. The breakfast buffet was very good, with plenty of options. The rooms were quiet and comfortable.

Fernanda at the front desk took care of me on several occasions.

Everithing more tham excelent

Nothing

Clean.

You had to pay for drinking water out the mini bar. Room was very small

Location and roof-top bar.

Slow check-in. Badly run/organised breakfast area. Poor lighting in room. Atrocious roof-top bar service on Monday 2nd December.

It was ok.

No cleaning the room until mid afternoon. No roomservice at 3pm. At the restaurant, at 3pm, 2 staff members and no service, I had to get the menu myself and wait 30 minutes for them to take my order (I was the only person there).

Coolest hotel in Rio with a fantastic rooftop with a great view of the SugarLoaf , Fernanda at the reception was fantastic! And waitress on the morning shift @ rooftop bar also very nice and well educated

Good location and quiet...nice vibe to the place and helpful staff...

Had to change rooms as the air con didn't work in the first one which was like a sauna ...but second one was fine...but the general room lighting was poor unless you had the bed lamp right over to read. I had not realised that you can not swim at Botafogo beach due to pollution.

The staff and the rooftop view!

We had to move rooms twice! One room the curtain didn't cover the whole window so at 6am we had the sun right on our eyes and the second room there were electrical issues, basically an electric circuit! I just don't understand how any hotel could have either situations, let alone a hotel that is rated 5 stars. In addition, the shower water temperature would change midway through our bath, the bathroom lighting is basically dark and the toilet water never fully flushed. I mean... lots to be renovated in this hotel, it sadly seems...

The roof top bar Air conditioning Staff were great

Staff very welcomy, grear beds and shower!

The breakfast options for vegan people are super limited.

Room modern and super clean. All the staff really friendly and helpful. Pool area on the roof is nice with great views and we always managed to get a seat up there even though there aren’t many of them. Not a great deal of bars/restaurants near the hotel itself but Ubers were very cheap to travel round wherever we wanted to.

Great view and nice location

Poor mattress. Breakfast need to improve, every day we tasted rotten juices which was terrible. Some nice touches for NYE but overall we did not have a good experience.

Great view from our room and friendly staff. Rooftop bar offer good drinks and great view of Botafogo & sugarloaf but service is on the slow side.

Hallway can smells like unpleasant bathroom at times.

staff are the best, very warm and friendly people. they are keen to help all time. good attitude

Clean rooms. Good service, but not „enthusiastic“. Good breakfast selection, good choice of juices and food. Roof top with good food and good drink selection, great view.

Quite friendly staff, but cold. Not feeling like „coming home“ and being fully welcomed. No visitors welcomed, not even with passport registration, very discriminating.

Design interior

Very slow check in No complementary water Hidden costs like extra cover fee for musician at rooftop bar

Beautiful view on the sugar loaf, great breakfast and polite staff

The showers were a bit finnicky to get to the right temperature.

View from room was very nice, very good room

Breakfast could be more diverse options

Nice bar and swimming pool

Floors in the rooms are a little bit damaged which makes it seem a little bit scruffy

The view and the roof terrace were incredible! The gym was really good!

The staff weren't all that friendly or accommodating (it may be a language barrier - we were English!) Getting a cup of coffee at breakfast was a bit challenging some days ... Wish it was free to serve rather than waiting for the waiter even when it wasnt busy. Room wasn't made up one day. The whole experience was fine but overpriced for what it was.

Modern vibe Great rooftop bar and view

Expensive Location a little off the beaten track

Location was great, stunning view, very good reception and welcoming.

Breakfast should include many options and food variety.

The hotel was very safe and comfortable and views from the rooftop were amazing—maybe some of the best in Rio.

The price wasn’t quite inline with what was expected for a 5 star hotel. It would probably have been possible to find something comparable for quite a bit less (if you’re willing to give up the views).

great location and amazing staff - so friendly and accommodating. very nice roof top bar and views of both Sugar loaf and Christ the Redeemer specific thank you and amazing shout out to Gabrielle from the front desk who really looked after us and made us feel extremely special guests when we arrived early from long flight to evening drinks, information on getting around and just being so helpful and friendly! really made us feel so welcome to Rio!! amazing and please tell him how amazing he was!

Beautiful roof terrace with views across the bay to sugar loaf. Good pool here and lovely cafe/ bar area. Bed was comfortable, decent shower

Our room was compact, little room for our luggage. We thought the price was full but was Easter sat

Staff was very nice

Room had an order in the restroom. Floors were dirty.

simply the most amazing view on both Christ the Redeemer in Corcovado and the sugarloaf mountain.

The hotel staff are very kind and helpful. When I ordered food from other restaurants, they brought the food to my room at no extra charge. The view from the rooftop is wonderful. The breakfast is tasty, although not very varied. The bed is comfortable, with very soft pillows. The air conditioning is efficient and not too noisy. The shower is great! In the medium value room I stayed in, the soap and shampoo was Granado, but the conditioner was a generic brand.

The chair available in the room is not comfortable for overweight people like me. I needed to work and asked for an alternative, but they said there was none and did not look for a solution for this. All the chairs in the co-working are the same as the uncomfortable one in the bedroom. My sheet got dirty, and they made the bed with the dirty sheet. Soy sauce leaked from a garbage bag on the floor. They removed the trash, but left the floor dirty. On the last day, they did not replace the shampoo, conditioner, or bath towel. The rooftop bar crowd competes with the hotel guests for the elevator and it can take up to 10 minutes to get to your room. I used to stay at this hotel in a more expensive room, however, this time I needed to stay in a cheaper room and it was a disappointment. I have to go to Rio every month, but now I will no longer stay at this hotel.

Nice decoration, comfy bed and good soundproofing room. Staff was welcoming and fast.

Room smaller than I expected, I wish some more variety in breakfast, missing toilet shower. The location is less than ideal, at night time is not recommended to walk around.

We had a business trip to Rio (that is always a pleasure), and we chose this hotel as our partner's office was located in the Botafogo neighborhood. This hotel was a very clean, well designed place with amazing views on the bay. The rooftop bar is amazing, the rooms were ok, and the breakfast was very delicious, the offering was quite convincing.

We came with a rented car, and it was a totally random opportunity that we could park in front of the hotel. The WiFi occasionally went away. Otherwise everything was fine.
