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.

Absolutely outstanding—every single aspect of this stay was flawless. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The hotel’s ambiance is elegant yet warm, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood just steps away from local charm and public transit. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed with modern comforts and cozy touches—especially the bed, which offered perfect support for a restful night. Every detail, from the thoughtful amenities to the quiet atmosphere, made it feel like a true retreat. We’ve already started planning our next visit—this isn’t just a hotel, it’s a destination worth returning to. Highly recommended for travelers seeking authenticity, quality, and a touch of luxury.

The hostel has a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere, with clean rooms and fresh linens—everything felt spotless. I'm usually quite particular about accommodations, but I was genuinely impressed by how well-maintained and cozy this place is. It's perfect for travelers looking for a relaxed vibe without sacrificing comfort. The location is great—easy access to public transit and nearby attractions. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Rio!

Staying at Jo&Joe Rio de Janeiro Largo do Boticario was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Christ the Redeemer, making it perfect for sightseeing and enjoying the iconic views. The breakfast was exceptional, with a great variety of fresh local treats, including delicious jams and freshly squeezed juices. The staff went above and beyond—they even helped arrange tickets to a local match, which was incredibly thoughtful. The rooms are clean, modern, and well-designed, offering a comfortable retreat after a day exploring the city. Public transport access is excellent, with the metro just steps away. Everything about this place feels thoughtfully put together, and the overall experience was truly memorable. Highly recommended for travelers who value convenience, quality, and a touch of local charm.

The hostel has a spacious and welcoming vibe with plenty of room to relax and socialize. The double room was nicely decorated and made for a comfortable stay. However, I'm disappointed with the lack of communication and refund after canceling my booking—despite promises, I waited over three months with no response or resolution. It's also worth noting that safety concerns mean you’ll need to rely on Uber to get around at night, which adds extra cost and inconvenience. While the location and atmosphere are decent, poor customer service significantly impacts the overall experience.

My stay at Rio Forest Hostel was absolutely fantastic! The team was incredibly friendly and offered great local tips—everything from public transit options and where to grab delicious food, to getting a SIM card and finding ATMs. It’s also a perfect place to meet fellow travelers and share stories. Breakfast was just average—not bad, but nothing special. That said, the stairs are a real workout, so you’ll definitely stay active during your visit! Overall, the hostel is clean, welcoming, and offers excellent value for money. If you’re looking for a relaxed yet social atmosphere in Rio, this is a top choice.

I stayed at Maracanã Hostel Vila Isabel and was thoroughly impressed with the whole experience! The location is one of the biggest highlights—just a short walk from the iconic Maracanã Stadium, making it perfect for concertgoers or football fans. The metro station is literally right around the corner, which made getting around Rio super easy. What really stood out was the incredible value for money—prices are way more affordable compared to other options in the city. I was pleasantly surprised by the bathrooms too—they’re recently renovated, spotless, and well-maintained, showing real attention to cleanliness and upkeep. It’s clear this place cares about guest comfort. Highly recommend this hostel for budget travelers or anyone attending events at Maracanã. A great base with charm and convenience!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
