Hotel Americano

My room was large and my bathroom had been newly renovated and had a large jacuzzi. I also had a small entrance room that had a fridge and computer table. I was comfortable and overall enjoyed my stay. The location is relatively central although you do have to walk a bit to the metro.

Although renovated and comfortable, the room had kept its musty odor from former times.

Everything! Hotel Americano is awesome!

Nothing! Everything was amazing!

perfect location friendly staff

room was simple and clean but not too clean, bath didnt work, shower went warm after long time

The staff is great, they are always helpful and kind. Location is also amazing to go explore during the day.

The towels were really old and also the blankets.

The location and the staff.

Their towels stink, the bedroom had a funny smell and the drain of the bathroom was clogged.

Location is walking distance to nearby attractions. The price was good for a private room. It cost less than hostels of 4+ beds in one room.

The rooms are not good. Everything is very worn. Visible damage everywhere. Mattress was sunken in and totally deformed. Bedding and covers had visible stains. "Hotel" is laid out like a motel - the rooms face the outside and can be pretty loud. They are also dark with just one small window in my room.

The location only. In my opinion, Lapa is a beatiful and historical place, so it is always full of people and I felt safe over there.

The hotel at all. Okay, it is a 1-star hotel and I got it. Although, I did not mean to stay over because I intended to know the Rio de Janeiro city (and not to enjoy the hotel), but every time I was at the Hotel Americano I had a problem: shower temperature, quality of the bedroom and... I recommend them to change their sheets and towels!!!

I wish there was one thing I liked but I thought really hard and could not come up with anything

The reasons for my negative review. 1- location. I have traveled to many different places around the world third world countries included but this has to be the worst location. I saw a guy stabbed another guy with a broken Heineken bottle not too far in front of this hotel. 2 - Filthy street, room. When you walk in front of this hotel, the smell of human feces grosses me out. I saw repeatedly human feces litterally right in front of the hotel door step and as you walk out and if you're not carefully you will step on the s**t. The hotel has a security camera but when I brought up the issue about people taking a s**t right in front of the camera the hotel management staff would not do anything about it. The room has cock roaches crawling everywhere. 3 - loud noise. Next to the hotel is a bar that plays ear deafening loud music late into the night frequently. I'm talking about way past 11 pm. 4 - Unfriendly/uncooperative, mean staff. The hotel offers daily house keeping. I would ask them to clean my room every three days to help the hotel conserve water from washing the bed sheets, towels (do they wash them? I don't know because there are a few instances the bed sheets smelled horribly after they changed them out) but my request is often ignored. Their excuse? They pretend not to understand English. Last but not least complain about this horrible hotel, I witnessed the two african brazilian ladies had a huge fight that went on for a long time and the worst part was I was there but that didn't stop them from cursing each other out really loud (I understand Portugese). If they are in the same team and have no respect for each other then they would not have any respect for the cusomters. Stay away from this horrible hotel. You have been warned
