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.

O hotel tem tudo para ser um dos melhores de Santa Teresa. O staff é extremamente atencioso, principalmente a moça da recepção - aparentemente a gerente. Antes de ir embora, repassei alguns pontos como feedback e todos foram extremamente bem aceitos pelo time. Tais quais: - a piscina é incrivel, mas o banheiro da área não foi limpo todos os dias. - o atendimento pelo WhatsApp é rápido, mas não nos foi comunicado que era possível realizar pedidos do bar para entrega na área da piscina. - as opções de café da manhã poderiam ser selecionadas num papel ou pelo próprio WhatsApp previamente, isto evitaria desperdícios. - aparentemente há a estrutura de um bar na piscina. Acredito que, quando estiver em funcionamento, tornará a experiência ainda melhor. - o hotel fica numa região pouco abastecida de mercados, sugiro um frigobar um pouco mais recheado e, eventualmente, um cardápio mais elaborado para quem deseja almoçar e jantar no hotel (era nosso caso, mas tivemos que procurar opções externas nos dias em que estivemos por lá). No mais, o hotel é ocupado por muitos gringos, o que torna a experiência ainda mais diferente. Santa Teresa é um bairro muito peculiar e foge muito do ideal praiano que muita gente tem do Rio. Foram dias extremamente tranquilos, de paz e silêncio. Uma delícia!
