Hotel Golden Park Aeroporto Rio de Janeiro

The hotel was well located, useful for getting to the Sambadrome but also good for getting to other places as there is Gloria metro station very close by. The staff were extremely helpful, and they really went out of their way to help me. I stayed here during Carnival and I participated in Rio Carnival parade, and when I left they kept my Carnival costume for me (which was large) for several days while I went travelling around in another state (Minais Gerais), even though I didn´t have a further reservation with them. They kept it and let me collect it several days later as it was too cumbersome to travel with. So a big thank you to the gentleman named ´Gentil´ on Reception - it was very much appreciated! Top marks :o)

I suppose the immediate vicinity was a bit dark not so safe very late at night. But I used to get the Metro all the time (which is really cheap) and then hopped in a taxi for the last little bit of the journey, from Gloria Metro station to the hotel - it cost next to nothing to do this, about 2 Euro. I was a lone female traveller and this certainly didn´t stop me getting about or enjoying my stay there.
