I was lucky to stay solo in a nine bed dormitory, but the bed was always about to fall, making a sort of strang sounds everytime I moved. Good thing is that the Hercus is "faraway too close" - faraway from night clubs and pubs noise in the night but close enough to a 2min walk from Arcos da Lapa and it's pubs. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### YI JYUN 14 Feb 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### YI JYUN ### 6/10 Okay #### Luciano 4 Jul 2015 ##### Luciano ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [JANEIRO Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-JANEIRO-Hotel.h25026439.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Hotel Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Hotel-Rio-De-Janeiro.h564457.Hotel-Information) > > [Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Copacabana-Palace.h7130.Hotel-Information) > > [Miramar by Windsor Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Miramar-By-Windsor-Copacabana.h9027.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Excelsior Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Excelsior-Copacabana.h43999.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickalbatros Aqua Park Sharm El Sheikh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-Albatros-Aqua-Park-Sharm-El-Shiekh-Families-Couples-Only.h18588956.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-PortoBay-Rio-De-Janeiro.h14441.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Nacional-Rio.h42275495.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Mercure Rio de Janeiro Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Grand-Mercure-Rio-De-Janeiro-Copacabana.h10590.Hotel-Information) > > [Arena Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Arena-Copacabana-Hotel.h3094577.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Barra Rio De Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Radisson-Barra-Rio-De-Janeiro.h13455131.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Leme Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Leme-Hotel.h877312.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Rio de Janeiro Leme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Novotel-Rio-De-Janeiro-Leme.h53295.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor California Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-California-Hotel.h22117011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bandeirantes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Bandeirantes.h526868.Hotel-Information) > > [Orla Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Orla-Copacabana-Hotel.h889673.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila d'este Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buzios-Hotels-Vila-Deste-Handmade-Hospitality-Hotel.h4603771.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Barra Rio De Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hilton-Barra-Rio-De-Janeiro.h8375625.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Fairmont-Rio-De-Janeiro-Copacabana.h174198.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Othon Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Rio-Othon-Palace.h24526.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hilton-Copacabana-Rio-De-Janeiro.h4100177.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Fasano-Rio-De-Janeiro.h1542064.Hotel-Information) > > [Ritz Hotel Leblon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Ritz-Hotel-Leblon.h8471084.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM London Shoreditch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-CitizenM-London-Shoreditch.h15921793.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Rio De Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Rio-De-Janeiro.h11601353.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Palace Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Palace-Hotel.h688868.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Rio-Hotel-Resort.h10581.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Plaza Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Plaza-Hotel.h444671.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Farringdon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Farringdon-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n553248634834708724-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [British Airways](https://www.expedia.co.uk/British-Airways-Flights.cBA.Travel-Guide-Airlines)
