I stayed here in October 2026 with my family and we had 5 rooms. Check-in was excellent after our 12 hours flight and the staff were helpful with storing our suitcases until one of the rooms became available.
The room sizes are very good, and so is the breakfast. It had a lot to offer for everyone and the hours to have breakfast really suited us.
We had a great stay and would definitely stay again if we return to Rio.

Very clean, friendly staff, we loved everything!!
I asked the staff to hold our bags and they were really nice and polite.
The only thing I would complain is the air conditioner really high but when I asked them to put it down, they did :)

We stayed during the carnival, to be honest i booked it because it was one of the cheapest during this period, so wasnt expecting much.
However the minute we got out of the taxi, the doorman and reception staff were excellent and very helpful, courteous, especially Johnathan on reception.
The room was ok but clean, the shower was just amazing in terms of the water pressure.
We had dinner innthe restaurant for just one night and wished we had eaten there more often as it was really good,...

Hotel Nacional is a huge, modern and impressive looking hotel, but our stay did not get off to the best start. Check in took over 40 minutes after a long flight, and there always seemed to be queues at reception. The guy checking us took 20 minutes and seemed very slow.
We'd booked two junior suites rooms and had asked to be on the same floor so our kids could be near us, but were put around 20 floors apart and were told the hotel was full, which was annoying. When you book two rooms how hard...
