FIRST TIME IN RIO
 
Message: can someone help me?, I am going to pass the new year at Rio. Is it very difficult to find lodging arriving on december 30 and going out on january 4?, a good tip for lodging ranging to not more than US$ 50 per night for a single room and quiet and well located?. Maybe is too much what I am asking, but these forums are extremely useful in these cases. Thanks you very much

I believe the Hotel Ducasse is still available. That would be around $60.00 each night.

Enjoy Rio! Best Regards - jill

Too late for the Ducasse, I just checked it out online. Your budget may be allright for a regular time of year but I think for a high season like New Years might be stretching it.

You should expect it to be very difficult finding lodging for the first two nights. The three nights in January should be easier.

Thanks a lot Dondiega, another alternative for about US$ 80 per night?
Something in barra de Tijuca for example?
What about the Olinda Othon?

Actually the Hotel Ducasse still has availability. They emailed me yesterday with the rates. They have a 4 night min. stay for the period.

Unfortunately, you cannot rely on the online booking engines for accurate information when it comes to availability during the holidays.

E-mail or telephone the hotels direct.
There are cancellations daily, and you may be able to find space
