This is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to stay in Rio de Janeiro. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and impeccably tidy—felt like home from the moment we walked in. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. What really stands out is how close it is to the beach—just a short walk or quick metro ride away, making it super easy to enjoy the seaside vibe anytime. I was impressed by how well-priced this place is for the quality offered. If you're after a comfortable, convenient, and affordable stay in Rio, I highly recommend giving this property a try. It’s definitely one of the best value options I’ve found during my trip.

Staying at Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro was an absolute delight—especially since we celebrated my husband's birthday there. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome with a complimentary champagne toast set the tone for a memorable experience. Our ocean-view room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the sea. The breakfast buffet was outstanding—fresh, diverse, and delicious, with both local Brazilian flavors and international favorites. The staff went above and beyond, showing genuine care and attention throughout our stay. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, from the personalized birthday greeting to the seamless service. It’s rare to find such luxury combined with warmth and authenticity. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again—this hotel truly delivers on every level.

Staying at Para TI Guesthouse was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of nature, it's a peaceful retreat where you can also engage in meaningful volunteer work with local children—such a heartwarming way to connect with the community. This place truly offers a glimpse into the real Rio de Janeiro and the incredible people who call it home. We left a piece of our hearts behind, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for authenticity, warmth, and a deeper connection with the city. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Matteo is an exceptional host—warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. The lodge itself is a true gem, combining stunning design with an unbeatable location. What stood out most was the serene, homely atmosphere—it felt less like a guesthouse and more like staying in a private luxury home. The views of Pedra da Gavea and São Conrado are absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. Every detail, from the decor to the quiet, peaceful setting, speaks to a deep commitment to comfort and authenticity. I couldn’t recommend Tuakaza more highly. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience. I’d return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Matteo, for making our visit so memorable.
