Where to Stay in Brazil

Embratur, the Brazilian tourism Authority, which rates the hotels from five to one stars, regulates many hotels in Brazil. These hotels must have a price list with an Embratur label. Even so, you could strike a good deal by bargaining. Look around for at least one YHA (youth hostel association) hostel in state capitals and tourist areas. At US $ 20 per person, you can spend a comfortable night here – if you’re not a YHA member, you pay more. Dormitories are the cheapest places to stay, with many beds to a room; this may cost you US $ 5 per night. Motels are ideal for short stay couples---there is no stigma attached and staying there is good value for money.
