There's a particular kind of property that travellers keep coming back to in Rio de Janeiro: Américas Granada Hotel, a four-star in Centro, fits that bill. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel well-appointed; the touches travellers mention most are an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi, and the comfort feedback has been consistently flattering. The team running the place comes across as attentive without being overbearing, and that's a meaningful slice of the overall experience. With well over 5,700 reviews on the books and a solid average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €69 a night, a fair-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Stack Américas Granada Hotel against the better-known names in Rio de Janeiro and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
