Yoo2 Botafogo by Intercity, Rio de Janeiro

Staff and facilities are excellent

I visit Rio frequently, and this was my first time staying at this hotel. Unfortunately, we got off on the wrong foot due to an IT error that caused issues at the restaurant—twice. However, the staff was extremely polite and went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. The location is perfect, right in front of one of Rio’s most beautiful beaches. Will come back!!

Excellent

Location, view and size of the hotel

Breakfast is not very good

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.

Roof was great. View great. Modern room

Floors were not swept well.

View at the roof rooftop restaurant and bar is lovely

The gym needs some maintenance

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

Good location and nice reception area

Not 5* - rooms were a bit basic and outdated

Well located to easy access to reach Copacabana, flamengo and all the neighborhoods

The people working there were very helpful

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.

..

View, pool, breakfast were all very good. The bathroom in the room and the products provided were good.

Room service and customer care can be improved. Value for money is not good - I would expect more for the price.

Great location

English good

Clean and served our overnight needs

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.

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.

Location, Rooftop Bar, Reception staff, Breakfast

Rooms are too small with very small bathroom

I stayed in two different rooms. The first one was facing the botafogo bay and the Pao de Acucar. Incredible views, spacious room with coffee machine. More expensive but overall good value for money. The second room was in the back of the hotel, overlooking a busy road - less expensive but a bit noisy. The rooftop bar has amazing views. Food and drinks are OK. Breakfast is good. Staff is very nice

Room facing the back side of the hotel was a bit noisy.

The hotel is located in a safe area.

The rooms are quite poor for a 5-star hotel.

Rooftop with amazing view and pool. Friendly staff

Good food and drinks but in relation to other bars, restaurants and hotel i've visited in brazil expensive. No fresh juces at the breakfast. Room smells not good and the room was very dark

Rooftop is brilliant.

The lighting in the room is awful, can hardly see trying to get ready

Very great location. Amazing views from the rooftop. Spacy room.

Amazing View, nice room and great breakfast.

Drinks.

Excellent service, delicious food at breakfast and in the restaurant, personalized attitude from the entire service staff, very accommodating in organizing excursions. I definitely recommend using the excursion offered by the hotel in cooperation with rioterratour, positive and emotional memories are guaranteed. Thank you for one of the best holidays ever, Zane

The staff are superb. Very helpful.

Accommodation was very comfortable.

The room did not have a proper work desk. Lunch /dinner prices were quite expensive.

The best hotel stay ever. Loved this trip. Bedroom, bathroom was exceptional with amazing views. Breakfast and breakfast staff were incredible. The best vegan breakfast.

Nothing! I didn't like. Stay there.

The location is very nice.

The room did not meet my expectation of a hotel claims itself five stars.

Lovely hotel with great views and top quality breakfast!

The hotel is located in a prime location, near lots of transportation and sights. Views from the rooftop pool and bar are exceptional. Staff are friendly and helpful. English speakers. Breakfast was better than the average continental style provided at some hotels.

It may have been me....but the toilet kept stopping up. Maintenance was readily available to fix. But for me, that was the only bother.

..

The grout in bathroom is disgusting. i managed the cleanest hotel in NYC. Every room should have bleach baths done every six months. once a year one of these times new grout and new calking should be done. shower heads need to be soaked in solution to take lime off AND give me new towels please. i do not care if you charge me but please. You shower more in Brazil. Towels fall on your dirty bathroom floor and I use on my body. Need to keep up with 24th century

Booking

Very good location close to the beach Amazing rooftop Beautiful viewes Good breakfast Safe neighbourhood

The room wasn't clean when we arrived and we could find belonging from previous guests. There was dust everywhere, and when we asked for a deep cleaning, the staff seemed to be unbothered.

Excellent breakfast with many choices. Beautiful view of Sugarloaf Mountain. Great location in very safe area of the city. Staff was professional and helpful. Due to delayed flight back home we stayed another night and the staff made the process seamless, allowing us to stay in same room, same price.

Really well kept and clean, good location to be in between everything we wanted to see but in a spot that was a bit quieter to get away when we wanted. Liked that it was smaller so the breakfast area was nice and felt relaxed not a huge room full of people.

The location, the facilities, the staff. All perfect.

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
