This property is absolutely breathtaking! From the moment you step in, the elegant marble finishes create a luxurious atmosphere. Our room had a spacious balcony with panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro—especially magical at sunset. The space felt clean, bright, and airy, with reliable air conditioning and fast, consistent Wi-Fi. Breakfast was a highlight—homemade, fresh, and delicious, setting the tone for each day. Located high up on a hill overlooking Santa Teresa, it’s peaceful and quiet, yet still just a short ride away from everything. We got around using Uber, which was super affordable and convenient. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and location. I truly hope to return one day. This place feels like a hidden gem—beautiful, authentic, and unforgettable.

This little gem in Rio is absolutely charming. Nestled on a quiet street, it’s peaceful and tucked away from the city noise—perfect for a relaxing stay. The room is compact but immaculately clean and fresh-smelling every day, which makes it feel like home. All meals can be enjoyed right at the hotel, so you don’t need to go out for food—great convenience! Plus, there’s a small pool where you can soak up the famous Carioca sunshine without leaving the property. It’s cozy, well-maintained, and offers an authentic local vibe. I’d definitely come back—worth every penny!

The Fluminense Hotel is an excellent choice for travelers visiting Rio de Janeiro. Located in a central area, it's just steps away from major attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. The breakfast was outstanding—fresh, varied, and full of local flavors that made the morning start off right. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Everything about this hotel feels thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect base for exploring the city. Highly recommend for anyone looking for convenience, quality, and value.

We truly felt at home from the moment we arrived. The guesthouse delivers exactly what it promises—simple, warm, and thoughtfully done. The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the shower provided excellent water pressure. Breakfast was delicious, and the small pool was a perfect spot to relax after a day exploring. Special thanks to the hosts Jaison, Cristina, and especially Beth, who kindly prepared a breakfast pack for us since we had to leave early for the Rio Marathon. That little touch made our trip even more memorable. Location-wise, it's unbeatable—just a short walk (under 500 meters) from the lively Lapa neighborhood and the famous Selaron Steps, yet the street itself is quiet and residential, offering peace and privacy. One thing to note: if you have mobility issues, be aware that the rooms are accessed via stairs, though parking is easy and accessible by car. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. We’re already planning to return with our family.

Staying at Casa da Gente felt like coming home after a long day of exploring Rio. We were here for 10 days and couldn’t have asked for more—the kitchen with a fridge was a game-changer, letting us prepare meals and come and go freely while respecting other guests’ space. Breakfast was perfectly portioned to fuel up for full days of sightseeing. The location is unbeatable—just steps from Lapa and the city center, and you can even walk to Botafogo Beach. For other beaches, we took Uber/99, which ended up being more convenient than public transit, especially considering the steep hills and our luggage. Pro tip: request your ride right after descending the stairs—drivers usually respond faster since the neighborhood sits on a hill in Santa Teresa. This area is absolutely magical, with breathtaking views and a peaceful vibe. I’d definitely stay here again if ever back in Rio.

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 Bella Ciao Hostel in Rio de Janeiro was one of the most memorable experiences I've had on my trip. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the metro and super close to everything worth seeing. The hostel offers incredible value for money, with clean, cozy rooms and a welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The common lounge is perfect for working during the day or hanging out in the evening with board games, movies, and great conversations. The staff and regular guests are genuinely warm and friendly—they go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your time in the neighborhood and the city. Special shoutout to Saulo, the owner—he’s incredibly kind, always available, and truly cares about everyone’s well-being. It’s clear he runs this place with heart. I left feeling like I’d made new friends and discovered a hidden gem. Definitely coming back, and I’ll be bringing my travel buddies next time.

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.

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.
