Penedo Vacations from $1,073

Superb location just a block away from the fames Ipanema beach. Lots of eateries within a few blocks. Metro is right next door which makes getting to Centro real easy even in heavy traffic. Staff was super helpful and cheerful. The room size is what I expect in Ipanema. Wish the bathroom is bit bigger and they should add a hand shower. I missed that after coming back from beach.

I had a calm and peaceful stay at Les Jardins de Rio. I was the only guest at the time and loved the intimate, retreat‑like atmosphere, with sunrise and beautiful views from the rooftop. Breakfast was specially prepared each morning with great attention to detail, and there was always coffee left out for the day. The hospitality was genuinely welcoming and accommodating: every request was met promptly, I was also given plenty of space to relax on my own, and the manager kindly shared tips about the area even though she doesn’t speak English and my Portuguese is limited. My room was beautiful with stunning views, and the sunken bathtub felt like a private spa experience. Everything felt clean, safe, and much nicer than some older reviews suggested. 10/10 – I would happily stay here again.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Santa Teresa MGallery in Rio. This boutique hotel in the artsy Santa Teresa neighborhood, a mix of historic charm with modern luxury. The location offers beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. My room was stylish, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff was warm and attentive, the pool area is stunning, and the food (especially breakfast) was excellent. An oasis in Rio — highly recommended for a memorable, upscale experience!

Location is awesome . Supermarket, metro, beach and restaurants at walking distance. Only thing I hated was the three dining room chairs instead of four, but even worse the fact that those chairs are so in bad shape. The next person who sits on them could end of on the floor and his security deposit may be gone. Other than that great and secure property, I would stay here again one million time. Just won’t use the dining room chairs . Oh yea the non refundable cleaning fee is a little high
