ibis Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont
O quarto tem tamanho bom e o atendimento é simpático, como em toda rede Ibis. A estrutura do hotel é mais simples, ideal para quem somente use o espaço para pernoitar. O café da manhã deixou muito a desejar. Custa R$58,90 por pessoa e não tem tanta variedade de itens. Vc encontrará opções muito melhores ...
