Our take
I recommend Gamboa Rio Hotel for travellers who want the basics at a modest cost. The airport shuttle simplifies the transfer, breakfast and Wi-Fi are free, rooms are air-conditioned, and the restaurant is on site. Families will find it kid-friendly. The 7.8 score is fair and fits a budget hotel. If you want a pool, a spa or a polished design, I would look at a different property.
- Confirm the airport shuttle schedule and booking process upon arrival to ensure a timely transfer.
- Take advantage of the complimentary breakfast, especially if you have an early flight, to save time and money.
- If you plan to explore Rio, use public transport from nearby stops, but factor in the travel time to the airport.
