Ibis Budget Rio de Janeiro Nova America

Ibis Budget has access to the Nova América shopping mall Nova América in the suburbs of Rio. The shopping has direct access to line 2 of the subway making it easy to reach any part of Rio by public transportation. The mall has many options of restaurants, snack bars, etc. Breakfast at this Ibis budget is definitely a plus as you pay around the same as you would pay for an Ibis Budget in Europe but with a much wider variety including fresh fruit and cheese bread, our famous pão de queijo! The night of our stay, the mall had many events going on and the hotel provided us with free tickets for the main event including a live show.

The area surrounding the shopping mall is only suburbs so guests need to be aware there is nothing to be done by foot apart from hanging in the mall - which is huge by the way. All of the tourists attractions can be reached by public transportation though.

The service was great, the staff spoke basic english was enough to communicate. Breakfast was good for a budget hotel with a typical brazilan breakfast.

The bed was a foam mattress, not very good. Needed extra pillows.

Location inside of a shopping mall, plenty of parking, safe. Very small room with only the basic but practical for someone looking only for a place to stay at a very good price.

It is a small room nothing fancy but that’s the purpose of a budget hotel.
