A real gem of a hotel. Lovely spacious rooms off the beating track but so easy to walk to key venues, catch tram and train or taxi called for by wonderful reception. Staff so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend a stay if visiting Rio…. I don’t think I would have been as adventurous if staying in the busy parts of town

I always look for smaller boutique hotels on our travels and this one didn’t disappoint! Full of character, but modern in its facilities. Our room was a good size, comfortable and with two comfy chairs to chill out on. A super comfortable bed and the shower was large and powerful. They supply a nice breakfast to your table. The patio and pool areas both have great views across the city. The hotel is located in the charming Santa Teresa neighbourhood, which feels like a small hilltop village above the chaotic city below. Lots of nice restaurants nearby. The only downside was that the WiFi continuously dropped out in our room, which was frustrating!

Good, but with Cons.

This was just an average experience. I guess the so many excellent previous reviews made me disappointed. The reception closes at 8pm and made me aware that there would be no one available to check me in after that. Also, there is no onsite security guard and guests have the property gate’s keys to get in and out (with anyone) during the night. That really made me uncomfortable! The rooms are good and the shower awesome. Breakfast was served only after 8am (time that employees arrive to work). In my first day, I was served only after 8.30am and got late for a meeting. The location is quiet and the views are great. I guess the major con here is the feeling of lack of security.

The hotel is very nice and lovely views and our room was incredible. The only downside is that the bar and restaurant were closed which we were not aware of beforehand so had to travel out of the area for food and drinks.

We checked out several days early despite paying for the whole atay ahead of time. Water leaked from the ceiling, the shower broke on us, a worm found its way into the shower. In general it just wasn't a boutique hotel, the quality was more on par with a hostel. White walls in disrepair, the room was never cleaned, nor the towels. Very minimal english language abily from the staff (who were otherwise vdeiendly(. ability.

The hotel is nice overall, the views, the pool and the courtyard. However the bed was very uncomfortable, it was hard and the pillows were flat. I asked for an another one and they gave me another flat one. My partner prefers the hardness of the mattress. Breakfast was lovely however, some of the fruits in the fruit salad were a little soft. The options were okay. We didn’t like the lock system, you could probably kick the door and it would open. There is no safe which is why we were a little hesitate to leave valuable belongings. We asked for a hair dryer and never received one. Also the air condition only blows coolish air.

Excelente! Local muito silencioso e sossegado, nem parece estar praticamente no Centro da cidade. A rua é iluminada e com segurança. A cama é muito confortável e os quartos amplos em contato com a natureza. Café da manhã ótimo. Pretendo voltar em breve.
