Prodigy Santos Dumont
What Guests Say
The view from the terrace is awesome, really a gift. The pool is comfortable and the calling system for the waiters works well. The staff is well trained and very cooperative. The accommodation is good for a short stay and the location favours your movement as it is very close to downtown and to the south zone of the city where most of attractions are located.

This was an interesting hotel. It is a located within walking distance of the terminal building of Santos Dumont Airport, so if you arrive there you can be checked in shortly after landing. Despite this, there was no issue with aircraft noise. The hotel is right by the tramway to the city centre, which connects to the Santa Teresa tram terminus. Going the other way, it is a 12km Uber ride to Ipanama beach. There is also a small shopping mall adjacent to the hotel, which has several dining options. The rooftop restaurant has a magnificent view of Flamengo, Urca and the Sugar Loaf Mountain. The hotel itself was very good with clean, comfortable room and helpful staff

The room was spacious and clean, with blackout curtains, a super-comfy bed and fluffy pillows. A nice touch in the room was the fridge to keep water cold and supermarket purchases fresh. The morning breakfast was one of the most beautiful, extensive food displays I have ever seen. There were so many food items on display, I couldn't even begin to list them all. Not to worry, there was something for everyone (although for low-carbers, this was a bit iffy)! For those with early flights, the buffet opens at 4am, so no worries there. For those than have a bit more leisure time, one can sit on the outside terrace and watch the sun rise, the planes take off or just indulge while watching Rio start a band new day. Watch out for the hungry birds!

super delicious breakfast, nice pool with a nice view, incredible colorful birds who are at the rooftop, and the windows are incredible good as you cannot hear any sound of the airplanes - what's impressing for south america. breakfast starts at 4 if you have an early flight.

Really useful location 5min walk through a mall to reach Santos Dumont airport check-in counters. Swimming pool and rooftop bar had excellent views of Rio, it was magnificent to swim in the pool while watching planes take off and land and see the Cristo and Pao de Açucar at the same time. Breakfast started at 4am which was good for us since we had a 6am flight. Restaurants at the mall downstairs are good - especially Vamo.

Excellent location next to the airport, great value for money breakfast from 4am amazing sea views and landmark views for 700 BRL a night, could have been 50% less if booked in advance. Hotel is very much new or recently renovated best value for money in Rio that I know of. Stunning rooftop restaurant where dinner, lunch and breakfast are served (Orla) with beautiful birds like grey-and-green monk parakeets, sparrows and doves visiting the Rooftop without disturbing anyone in a wonderful scenery early in the morning at 5am. 24 room hour room service at decent prices, 24/7 front desk.

Great location set in shopping mall of airport so within minutes walk of check in desk. Great view from the roof top of Sugarloaf mountain and nice pool. The room was clean with comfortable bed, good air conditioning and shower. As a standard room the window had an internal view onto the mall.
