A true sanctuary of peace and nature! We spent three wonderful weeks in Rio de Janeiro with our family, and were warmly welcomed by Mauricio and Stuart at Casa Verde. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed, offering breathtaking views—morning ocean vistas and afternoon glimpses into the lush forest. Breakfast was delicious and the travel tips and guided tours they shared were incredibly helpful in planning our trip. Mauricio and Stuart are genuinely kind, welcoming hosts who love connecting with guests. Their hospitality made our stay in Rio even more memorable. Thank you for such a special experience in this beautiful country—we’ll definitely be back!
Staying at Promenade Palladium Leblon was an absolute delight. Just a 100-meter walk from the beach, I woke up to ocean views every morning—perfect for early strolls along the shore. The neighborhood is vibrant and safe, with countless restaurants within walking distance, making dining out easy and enjoyable. The room itself was spacious and well-designed, featuring a separate living area that made the space feel luxurious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent—fresh, diverse, and delicious. It’s rare to find such a great mix of location, comfort, and quality. I’m already planning my next trip back. If you’re looking for a relaxing, stylish stay in Rio with everything you need right at your doorstep, this is it.
Staying at Ipanema Inn was a great experience overall, especially given its prime location just across the street from Ipanema Beach—walking to the sand is effortless. The free beach towels and chairs are a nice touch, making beach days even more convenient. The on-site restaurant delivers solid food quality with a welcoming vibe. While the room is compact, it’s clean and well-maintained. That said, the street noise can be intense, especially with ongoing construction nearby—something to consider if you’re sensitive to sound. The air conditioning drips water, and the shower setup isn’t the most user-friendly. The bed was also quite firm, which might not suit everyone. However, the highlight of our stay was the rooftop spa at their sister property in Arpoador. We had an incredible massage there—relaxing, professional, and worth every minute. Despite a few minor drawbacks, we enjoyed our three-night stay and would definitely return for the location and the exceptional spa experience.
Staying at Mar Ipanema Hotel was an absolute pleasure. Located in a prime spot just steps away from Ipanema Beach, everything you’d want—main beaches, restaurants, and attractions—is within easy walking distance. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free, thanks to the friendly and efficient front desk team. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a cozy bed, fresh linens, and high-quality toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Clean towels and a well-stocked minibar (with water, soft drinks, beer, and chocolate) added to the convenience. Breakfast was included in my booking and offered a delicious taste of local Brazilian flavors—especially the cheese bread, which was fresh and flavorful. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. For the location, comfort, service, and value, this hotel truly earns every bit of its excellent rating. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a reliable, authentic Rio experience.
This was my first stay at Mirasol Copacabana Hotel, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience—I’ll definitely be back. The front desk staff were outstanding, especially Rafael, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The rooms and facilities are brand new, spotless, and well-maintained. Everything is in great shape—pool, sauna, and gym are fully operational and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Breakfast was solid but a bit limited in variety; I’d have loved if the service ran until at least 11:00 AM, as that would’ve been more convenient. Still, overall, the hotel delivers excellent value with its modern amenities, prime location near the beach, and friendly atmosphere. If you’re looking for a comfortable, hassle-free stay in Rio de Janeiro, this place is a top choice.
Staying at this B&B in Posto 5, Rio de Janeiro was an absolute delight. The deluxe room was spacious and bright, with a stunning view of the ocean—perfect for relaxing in the morning with a cup of coffee. Its location is unbeatable: just a short walk or quick taxi ride to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The rooftop pool is comfortable and inviting, and the on-site restaurant offers a great vibe, especially during sunset. Everything about the stay felt seamless—from booking through the platform to check-in and check-out. Easy access, excellent service, and a fantastic atmosphere make this place a top choice for anyone visiting Rio. Highly recommend!
Staying at Hotel Vermont Ipanema was an absolute delight. Located just a short walk from two metro stops in the heart of Ipanema, it’s only a 5-minute stroll to the beach—perfect for morning swims and sunset views. The neighborhood is quiet, well-lit, and feels safe even at night. My room was cozy and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The breakfast was outstanding—fresh gluten-free bread, a delicious pastry, plus eggs, cheese, ham, yogurt, juices, and coffee. It felt like a little treat every morning.

Absolutely loved my stay at Augusto's Rio Copa Hotel! The staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Front desk service was flawless—everything I needed was handled promptly and with a smile. The rooms and common areas were spotless, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. I originally booked just a few days, but after such a positive first impression, I extended my stay by three additional nights without any hassle. The breakfast could use a bit more variety—same items every day—but overall it was still satisfying. Rooms were clean, the pool was great for relaxing, and there’s a designated smoking area on the rooftop. Elevators worked perfectly throughout my visit. I’d definitely come back if I ever need to stay in Copacabana again—this place truly delivers comfort and convenience in one fantastic package.
The building staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. From check-in to checkout, they made sure everything ran smoothly and went the extra mile to assist us.

Staying at O Veleiro Bed and Breakfast was a highlight of my trip to Rio de Janeiro. The property is conveniently located just off the city center, yet it’s quiet and peaceful in the evenings—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hosts, Rob and Richard, go above and beyond with their hospitality. They take the time to get to know each guest and offer well-organized, insightful tours that truly enhance your experience of the city. Breakfast is delicious and fresh, featuring local flavors that make mornings special. The tropical outdoor area is beautifully landscaped—ideal for sipping coffee or unwinding after a day of exploring. Rooms are spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The overall service is outstanding, making this one of the most memorable stays I’ve had in Brazil.
This is our second stay at the South American Copacabana Hotel, and we’re already planning our third visit! From check-in to checkout, every moment was seamless and welcoming. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach and all the vibrant energy of Copacabana. Rooms are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind.
