Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

8/10 Good
"While this is a great hotel with comfortable clean rooms and great common areas, the maintenance is an issue. From the remote control not working properly to signs of wear and tear throughout the property and damages ceiling and walls. It’s a big property so it is probably hard to keep up with the maintenance. But again, they should be more attentive to these details."
