    Bathrooms had mould growing on the roof and asked to change our room (which they obliged without issues).

    Breakfast was incredible and staff were very accommodating and friendly.

    Just some small organizational issues: Adress was not clear (no number) and first it was said that we did not pay yet even though we did

    Good location, big and comfortable room and nice breakfast selection!

    There is a musty smell possibly from the bathroom that came and went we dealt with it by opening the window The cleaning service to empty bins and supply clean towels didn’t come on two of the days but we managed.

    Great location in Botofogo. Property secure with 2 outside locking doors. Room basic but spacious. It is just a basic room but this reflected in the price. Bed comfortable. A few reviews noted stained sheets but this appears to have been rectified as ours were fine.. Would recommend requesting room 107 as this one does have a window to outside. The breakfast down at the other hotel was excellent and staff there very friendly and helpful.

    Low key definitely, old equipment, and felt very, very basic, not like on the photos. Also no window, probably we missed this info. Yes, stains on the bedsheets, but you can see they were washed. Kitchen lady snoring with her nose during all the time of the breakfast, made the experience quite disgusting - but it seems to be the culture here. Old oatmeal (from the smell), probably not too popular among guests. The rest of the breakfast was good, varied and complete (buffet).

    Cheap and good location, no problems with the staff, not too dirty (I'm picky). Only the floor made my socks dirty. A lot of wifi networks all over the place to make sure we can connect to something (only social network use).

    Rooms are quite small with no natural light coming in. The sitting area pictured is in a common area. Hosts were unaccommodating when we asked for either a place to store our luggage after check out and before our flight, or for a one hour later check out time. Unfortunately in a busy and large city like Rio this sadly cut our vacation short.

    HMG BNB is well located in Botofogo.

    The internet was down for the last few days of my stay. They offered to switch me to the other building where reception was (and they knew internet was working), but I decided it wasn’t worth packing up all of my stuff again. The address doesn’t match the Booking site. There are 2 addresses. One for reception and one of the room. It’s about 40-60 seconds walking. I got spammed with a bunch of long messages/advertisements in Portuguese when I booked. Most of the information can be ignored except one piece: It was difficult to find the actual addresses where I needed to go for the keys and then the other address for entry. It should just be posted as the address on Booking’s website. The doors to enter each building are very tiny. You can open the second half of the door from the inside.

    Comfy and big bed. Warm and strong shower. Security gates. Spaciousness of the room.
