Top Sao Francisco Beach Hotel Reviews

H Niteroi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a pleasure to stay here/ the staff were amazing and engaging. The property was beautiful with wonderful views, the pool and gym were great."

Hotel Orizzonte Niterói by Atlantica

10/10 Excellent

"It was an off beat location but a completely private compound with gated security to enter! The front desk staff were very helpful and spoke English but no one else was English speaking making it difficult to order food and drinks but we made it work! It has an amazing pool grounds level and a wonderful well kept large hot tub, and sauna with a colder shower to keep balance. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated- definitely a nice place if you are looking for just a place feel comfortable and relaxed- it is an uner ride away from great restaurants and beaches but nothing is really close."
