8.1Verified guest“This is our second stay at Arcos Rio Palace Hotel. We stayed in room 1104 and it is newly renovated and lovely! We had a clean room, great veranda with a view, and a large new bathroom. This hotel will be really wonderful when it is completely renovated. Until then, ask for room 1104! We also had a great time on Friday and Saturday nights in Lapa, lots of bars, restaurants, and music!”
