9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (320)
"We loved this hotel. A real oasis in the hills away from the amazing hustle and bustle of downtown Rio. Wonderful staff who were very happy to help you out. A lovely restaurant where we celebrated our friend’s birthday. Wonderful balcony room with a slight view of Christ Reedemer. Loved the pool and pool bar, although the cocktail making could do with some attention, and the staff there were slow. Would come back to stay if ever in Rio again. "

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (12)
"I spent 4 days in this beautiful charming house, and felt home the moment I passed the gate. The house located in the beautiful authentic neighborhood of Santa Teresa is decorated with taste displaying very cozy and clean rooms. A delicious breakfast is served under the trees with a very nice view on the city and I had the chance to see the little monkeys populating Rio while having my morning coffee. The host Matthieu is incredibly welcoming and helpful. I came last minute without organizing...

Gavea Tropical Boutique Hotel
3.5 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very Good, (105)
"The hotel is up the hill away from the madness of the beach and downtown areas, but still a 15 minute walk to the heart of Gavea and a 15 minute cab ride (download Uber or app called "99" before you go!) to Ipanema and Leblon. Everyone at the hotel is friendly and helpful. The breakfast each morning is superb, especially when the monkeys come and join you. The pool is small but the hot tub is great (you have to ask them to heat it up 40 minutes in advance, though, and they shut it down...

Mambembe Hostel
2.0 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (3)
"Num primeiro momento fiquei meio perdido tentando localizar o hostel, mas depois deu tudo certo. Fui muito bem atendido pelo Yuri no check in e encontrei o quarto limpo e com uma cama confortável. Os outros ambientes são limpos e o café da manhã é simples, mas condiz com o valor da hospedagem. De um modo geral eu adorei a minha hospedagem no Hostel Mambembe!"

"Lovely old building, with lots of character. Admittedly the condition is slightly dated, but is part of the charm! Marianne was very helpful, explaining the local area and arranging a taxi for us. Bedroom very spacious and the pool area overlooking the city is brilliant! Santa Teresa is a cool neighbourhood too. Would recommend. "
