Pros:

Experiência um horror. Site deveria rever a inclusão de de hotel e verificar o que é hotel e o que é pousada ou hotel favela. Por não ter cartéis indicando o lugar , chegamos na rocinha e recebidos com fuzil.
Estrangeiro não pode ir aí de jeito nenhum.

Muito satisfeito
Pros:

O hotel é muito bom. A localização é ótima para quem busca sossego. O único porém é que fica no outro lado da Rocinha. Tem um posto policial na esquina. Nos sentimos seguros, mas apreensivos com os tiroteios na favela. A vista é maravilhosa e o atendimento é excelente. O pessoal é muito atencioso. O café é muito bom. Vimos macaquinhos nas árvores, ararinhas e até um tucano. O acesso aos quartos e ao café/piscina/jacuzzi é por escada, mas nada que atrapalhe. O bairro da gávea tem tudo (shopping a 10 min de uber). Recomendo.

very nice, and off the beaten path
Pros:

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 early - at 10pm even on weekends). The view from the balcony in our room and from the gym is one of the best in all of Rio!

Regular/bom
Pros:

Minha estadia foi curta, passei só uma noite. Mas pude perceber que a equipe é prestativa e as acomodações não surpreendem. A vista do quarto é boa e a gavea é bonita.

Vale muito a pena!
Pros:

Local incrível, com uma aura romântica e espirituosa. Fomos muito bem recepcionados pelo Sr Ricardo que se dispôs a tornar nossa estadia numa experiência inesquecível. Café da manhã bem completo, saboroso, com bolos, torradas, sucos, ovos e bacon (é só pedir que vem fresquinho da cozinha), pão de queijo, etc.
O quarto... nossa! Que delícia! A cama possui em dossel que quando é fechado te deixa em outra dimensão... ;) , sugiro só aos gerentes dispensarem uma melhor atenção no reparo do dossel, é um dos charmes do quarto <3 A pousadinha é bem pequenina, bastante escada para acesso das dependências, piscina, jacuzzi e saunas que ficam no pavimento inferior, o que para nós não foi problema.
Fácil acesso a Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas e pontos turísticos, a pé não dá mas táxi ou Uber sai bem baratinho. Enfim! Valeu a pena cada centavo! Certamente voltaremos!

hotel precisa rever o que diz que tem
Pros:

Fiquei em um quarto que tinha 65 a mais degraus para descer e subir , isso não foi avisado qdo adquirir, minha cama qdo peguei era King, cheguei com cama comum tradicional, cafe disse que era colonial, não havia nada de colonial, 3 tipos de fruta, pao, bolo, 1 suco, enfim fraco demais, atenção do gerente foi boa só que me senti enganada, peguei gato por lebre

O Hotel é simples. Não dá para chamar de boutique hotel.

Comfortable boutique hotel in the trees
Pros:

Our family stayed here for two weeks. We were pleased with the friendly staff and comfortable room. The setting is beautiful - tucked away in the trees and separate from the beaches, whilst still close. Monkeys came to eat bananas from our hands in the mornings.

Tranquilidade e Romantismo!
Pros:

O Hotel é bem completo! Poucos aptos. O Quarto que fechamos tivemos problemas mas na mesma hora trocaram para um com melhor vista.
O apto possui um cooktop aonde pode-se fazer pequenas refeições. Jantar com a linda vista para o Cristo Redentor é magnífico! Não utilizamos os outros serviços pois ficamos apenas 1 dia e estava muito frio. Mas recomendo!

Lovely local and friendly hotel.
Pros:

It is a lovely and friendly hotel, the staffs are really nice and the view is beautiful!! Staffs were so helpful and our stay went smoothly, we also stayed with our children and they enjoyed their stay. It is a bit far away from the beach but the room comfort and view is lovely. Good value for money as well I must say. Breakfast is typical Brazilian and it was very nice, fresh fruits are lovely!!

Gavea Boutique Heaven on Earth B&B
Pros:

5 Star B&B!! We loved this place! Amazing omelettes for breakfast=Check, Feeding the baby monkeys=Check, Sweet view of the Christ Statue=Check, Hot Tub=Check!! This helped make our 1st trip to Rio that much more memorable! Now, trying to find the place can be quite an adventure! But its only 10 min. from Ipanema, AND away from the crowds. Book it before it sells out!!

Amazing hotel, few cons
Pros:

This hotel was the highlight of our trip to South America. The suites were amazing. Dont get the villa though.

Pros: Gorgeous views and we got to feed little monkeys every morning! My better half absolutely loved this. The rooms were well decorated and clean. Get a suite and pay the extra $10-20 per night. Its well worth it. Customer service was top notch. Being a boutique hotel we regularly interacted with the owner and manager, both of whom were very helpful and spoke English!

Con: We originally booked the villa. The Villa is actually a smaller room rigjt above the street. No scenic view unless you like a dirt hill. The sewage from the street had a tendency to linger in the Villa if you left the doors closed. We moved to the suite (next size up) the first day. Perfect for couples even though it can fit more.

Room smells like a sewer
Pros:

Stayed in room #7 which is advertised as a Villa. The room could be good if it didn't smell terribly, didn't have a mosquito pest and didn't need to escalate very steep steps to the lobby area, maybe 70 steps. The staff is very nice but impossible to compensate for not being able to sleep at night.
