"Hola!! Si vas de vacaciones a Río el lugar para alojarte es “el Janeiro”. Creo que 5 estrellas es poco. Desde la atención, el servicio, la excelencia de su personal en cada una de las áreas, la mejor ubicación de todo Río y cada detalle demuestra que NADA fue liberado al azar en este hotel. MARAVILLOSO. Gracias, sin duda pronto volveremos."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Cidade Universitária?
The best time to visit Cidade Universitária is during the dry season, which runs from May to September, offering comfortable weather for exploring.

During these months, you'll experience less humidity and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for walking around the campus and nearby areas without the intense heat and heavy rainfall often seen in other periods. This period also generally aligns with academic holidays in some regions, which can mean fewer crowds on campus.

For those planning to attend academic conferences or events, checking the university's annual calendar is advisable, as these often occur outside the peak dry season.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Cidade Universitária hotel for you.
