The staff were amazing, on reception, at breakfast, the ladies who cleaned the rooms, security, bar staff, cooks even the people who did Maintainance, special thanks to Sid, who was concerned about our safety when we went to carnival at night, and always checked in with us to see we were ok. Can’t recommend, this hotel highly enough. The breakfasts are amazing and so are the caipirinha!

This is a brilliant find. For the price we paid it’s a bargain of a hotel. Safe to walk about the streets and the tram runs along the top of the street which is about a 6 min walk from the hotel. Brilliant quirky hotel With great breakfast and funky rooms, amazing bar, pool table and outside space. No pool but we only stayed 1 night so it didn’t bother us.

Great hub to explore Rio.
We loved our stay. Great suburb - good bars & food nearby. Breakfast was great. Rooms all clean and tidy. No pool/gym etc but not needed if you’re exploring Rio.

Great choice in Santa Teresa
This hotel was amazing, perfectly located and very well decorated. I have nothing negative to mention for the room they gave us. The restaurant is good but the service is awful. Please improve that, it was really frustrating.

This is a really cool accommodation. Super quirky, the design features are great. It’s located right in the heart of the very trendy Santa Teresa. My friend and I, two female travellers felt safe walking around in the area where it’s situated. There is 24 hour security on the door too. Breakfast was good and regularly replenished and we had the pizza here for dinner one evening too which was really tasty and I’d highly recommend. The only downfalls we found about this hotel is the lack of lighting in the room which made getting ready in the evening quite a challenge. The room lighting is extremely dim. The only other thing was the absence of a room fridge which we’d had everywhere else we’d stayed in Rio but it was just a minor thing that would’ve been nice to have. Other than that, We had a great stay and the staff were all so lovely and helpful!
