Arosa Rio Hotel
The Arosa Rio Hotel is an outstanding choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience in Rio de Janeiro. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendly and attentive service. The hotel is perfectly located just steps away from a variety of restaurants, shops, and local attractions—ideal for exploring the city without needing to travel far. Everything inside the property is well-organized, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It's clear that attention to detail goes into every aspect of the guest experience. With such a great location, excellent service, and a peaceful atmosphere, this hotel truly delivers exceptional value. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio—it’s definitely a top pick.
Gamboa Rio Hotel
Stayed at Gamboa Rio Hotel and was thoroughly impressed! The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort and a relaxing atmosphere. I especially loved the fresh-smelling towels—they were soft and added such a nice touch to the experience. The location is excellent, with easy access to public transit and nearby attractions. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. It's clear that attention to detail matters here. This place offers great value for money and delivers a high-quality stay. I’d definitely return and recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a comfortable and convenient base in Rio.
Pompeu Rio Hotel
The hotel offers a solid experience overall, especially considering its prime location. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful, making check-in and daily interactions pleasant. While some of the facilities show signs of aging—like slightly worn mirrors in the bathroom and faded paint in certain areas—the rooms remain clean and functional. The value for money is excellent, and being just steps away from public transit makes exploring Rio easy. It’s not a luxury stay, but for travelers who prioritize convenience and a welcoming atmosphere over brand-new finishes, this place is a great pick.
Hospedagem Municipal
I booked this place through a platform expecting a basic, budget-friendly option to rest for a few hours before my connecting flight. It’s not really a tourist accommodation—it serves another purpose entirely. The room is extremely small, barely 2m x 3m—about the size of a standard bathroom—and with a ceiling height of only around 2 meters, it felt claustrophobic. There are two outlets in the room—one at the fan and one at the TV—but since the fan must stay on (due to strong cigarette smell), I had to charge my phone from the TV outlet. The back of the closet was piled with trash—paper, dust, cigarette ash—very unsanitary. The tiny window faces the hallway with no natural ventilation, so noise from other rooms and hallways seeps through easily. The shared bathroom lacked soap, hand towels, and even a sink—just a basin outside where you can wash your hands. The mattress looked old and worn, with a waterproof cover that was cracked and peeling. The overall space feels like someone repurposed a floor into two levels with poor construction standards. Ceiling height violates local regulations (minimum 2.7m required), and I highly doubt they have a valid operating permit. Safety measures, fire prevention, and hygiene don’t meet basic legal requirements. Honestly, this isn’t suitable for travelers—only an absolute last resort.
Casa 48 Guesthouse
Our family stay at Casa 48 was absolutely unforgettable. The warm and welcoming hospitality from Valentin and Félix made us feel right at home. We even celebrated New Year’s Eve together with the hosts in a truly unique and cozy atmosphere—so much charm and genuine connection. The location is perfect for exploring Rio, especially starting from Santa Teresa. You can walk or hop on a quick metro ride to reach various neighborhoods. And the view? Absolutely breathtaking—Rio spreads out before you like a postcard. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s an experience. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for authenticity, comfort, and heartwarming moments.
Andorinha Hotel (Adults Only)
My stay at Andorinha Hotel (Adults Only) was extremely disappointing. I requested breakfast for 10 a.m., but the front desk staff couldn’t even process such a simple request—no follow-up, no communication, just silence. It’s a clear sign of poor training and lack of supervision. To make matters worse, the housekeeping staff acted with outright rudeness, even taking it upon themselves to 'handle complaints' like an unofficial ombudsman. That kind of attitude is not just unprofessional—it’s disrespectful. The hotel’s quiet, private atmosphere might appeal to some, but without basic service standards, it feels more like neglect than exclusivity. For a place marketed as adults-only, the experience felt anything but mature or welcoming. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, there are far better options that actually deliver on service.
Rio Boutique Suites
This place is the perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle. I'm a local, and after weeks of nonstop routine, I just needed to disconnect—and this stay delivered exactly that. The historic mansion is full of charming details and cultural touches, yet it seamlessly blends with modern comforts. The room is spacious, airy, and impeccably equipped—everything worked flawlessly. The linens were soft, fresh, and smelled wonderful. Breakfast was exceptional: delicious, varied, and thoughtfully prepared. I left feeling completely recharged. I’ll definitely be back—this time with my whole family. A truly unforgettable experience.
Villa Teresa
Staying at Villa Teresa was an absolute delight from the moment I arrived. The views of Santa Teresa, the Sambódromo, and the seaside promenade are simply breathtaking—especially during Carnival when the energy is electric. The property feels warm and welcoming, like a home away from home. I requested a firmer mattress (though it was just a single bed), and it made for a comfortable night’s sleep. The amenities are impressive: a cozy living room, a fun games area, spacious balconies with panoramic views, and a refreshing pool. My favorite spot? The balcony overlooking the Sambódromo—perfect for watching the parade with binoculars in hand, almost like having your own private box seat. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. One minor note: one window felt a bit exposed to passersby, so privacy could be improved slightly. Also, while the interior shines, the exterior grounds could benefit from more consistent cleaning and organization. Breakfast was hearty and delicious—plenty of options, fresh and well-prepared. Parking right in front of the hotel on a quiet one-way street was stress-free and safe. Overall, this place offers exceptional value and charm. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy Rio’s magic in a peaceful, scenic setting.
Vila Santa Teresa
As a local resident of the charming Santa Teresa neighborhood, I can truly say Vila Santa Teresa is a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Rio's bustling city life. From the moment I arrived, the entire team made me feel right at home—warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. A special thanks to Caio, the morning waiter, and manager Raphael, who went above and beyond with their kindness and professionalism. The ambiance is serene, the service exceptional, and the location is perfect for exploring the city. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a little haven. I’ll definitely be back.
Villa 25
Villa 25 completely surpassed my expectations! The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure we felt welcome. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and varied every morning. The pool area is serene and beautifully designed, like a hidden oasis. Best of all, it’s just a short walk from the beach, making exploration effortless. With its unbeatable location, comfort, and genuine hospitality, this place offers incredible value. I can’t recommend it enough—I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
Socialtel Lapa Rio de Janeiro
This was our second visit to the hotel with my best friend, and we absolutely loved it again! The place feels incredibly cozy and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Every staff member we interacted with provided exceptional service—friendly, attentive, and professional. The location is super convenient for exploring Rio, with easy access to public transit and nearby attractions. It’s not just a great stay—it’s an experience. We’re already planning our next trip here!
Sugar Loft Apartments
Sugar Loft Apartments is incredibly well-located—just two blocks from the famous Selaron Steps and Arcos da Lapa, making it super convenient for exploring Rio's iconic spots. The loft-style unit is cozy, modern, and comes with all the amenities you’d want for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend it for travelers seeking both convenience and comfort. The only thing to note is that the staircase leading up to the apartment is quite steep—so if you're traveling with elderly guests or anyone who has difficulty with stairs, keep that in mind. But aside from that, everything else was perfect. Great value, great location, and a lovely atmosphere overall.
