Our take
I recommend Hotel Esperança to budget travellers who want an air-conditioned room, a restaurant and bar on site and room service, about 21 minutes by taxi from Santos Dumont Airport. Public transport to the airport takes over an hour, so a taxi is the sensible choice before an early departure. Its 7.6 rating from 147 reviews reflects a fair, functional stay.
- Allow at least 25-30 minutes for a taxi to Santos Dumont Airport, especially during peak hours
- If using public transport, factor in over an hour for the journey to the airport
- Explore the local area on foot; the BRS 1,2,4: Lavradio bus stop is a 4-minute walk away

Why guests love itI see Hotel Esperança as a value stay in Rio for a family that wants a simple base with dinner sorted. Rooms are air-conditioned, welcome in Rio's climate, and the hotel has its own restaurant and bar, plus room service for tired evenings. Free Wi-Fi is included and an accessible option is available. Santos Dumont Airport is about 21 minutes by taxi, while public transport takes just over an hour, so I would book a taxi for an early flight.
