Stayed for 4 nights at the end of the stay. Cost standard double 200R$ and single 180R$ + tax. This is listed in the lonely planet as a budget hotel and when you visit Rio you will undestand why. Rio is the most expensive city I have encountered in all my time in latin america. Hotel itself is a bit... more

When I booked an economy room in Hotel San Marco, I couldnt believe the price I got, considering the hotel is in Ipanema. We reached the hotel at 2 am and walked in the room. We got the shock of our lives seeing the "economy" room. I guess the word should be "ghetto shack" rather than room. There was a... more

I arrived early one morning at the Hotel San Marco in the heart of Ipanema after a long overnight flight from Miami. The doorman Phillipe, who, it turns out, is a champion beach volleyball player, takes my bags inside, and I check in. The room is a "quarto economico", and will cost R$145.95 a night, or about USD $88 at... more

San Marco Hotel is perfectly located in Ipenema and only a short stroll to the beach. Though its rooms and services are limited, rooms are basic at best but offer clean bathrooms and bedding, after all, you won't we spending your holidays in the hotel. For the price I feel the quality could have been better, but I can't complain... more

What can I say about the San Marco ? I stayed there with a friend for a week, as it allowed us to stay in Ipanema in a place with airconditioning without taking out a second mortgage. We were there in summer, so prices were pretty expensive anyway, but it was certainly a more budget option than most of the... more

If you don't plan on spending time in your room, then this is a cheap and efficient hotel. We used it to only sleep, shower, and change, and spent the rest of our time at the beach. The location is two blocks from Ipanema Beach, near Posto 10, and there is excellent shopping and dining within 15 minutes walking distance.... more

The hotel room is small but sufficient and suitable for its price (114 Real a night for economy room). The staffs are very nice and freindly. The food at the hotel restaurant was very good and cheap (10Real for a steak with cheese salad). There is no added tax and the price includes breakfast. It's only 2 blocks from the... more

The hotel was okay and in a good location but next time we'll spend a little bit more and try a different hotel. We spent the equivalent of $74 per night for two people. The hotel was in a very good and convenient location in Ipanema and felt very safe. The room was clean but small and dingy with barely... more

Hotel San Marco, Rio de Janeiro I stayed at the Hotel San Marco for 8 nights, which is advertised in the Let’s Go Brazil travel guide as the most inexpensive hotel in Ipenema, one of the nicest areas of Rio. The cost was a mere 840 reals for those 8 nights. The room was small, but had a/c, telephone and... more

If you're looking for a relatively cheap, decent (yet basic) hotel in a safe neighbourhood in Rio, not too far from the action, the San Marco may actually be one of the better options. Rooms are basic but clean and the beds are comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Location on the main street in Ipanema is convenient - close... more
