This place has potential to be amazing with a great pool and location but is a bit scruffy and run down.
Pros:

Loved the pool area and the location of Santa Theresa.

Cons:

The hotel was a bit run down. Scruffy interiors and cheap towels/ bedding. With a bit more care this place could be really great.

A beautiful & quieter side to Rio which I highly recommend.
Pros:

We loved the quiet location that is walking distance to restaurants & bars. The hotel is well maintained & has the basics that you would need. Jackson, the bar man made the most exceptional cocktails & was super friendly, the breakfasts were cooked to order & delicious. We loved our stay.

Cons:

1 nuit pour nous dommage
Pros:

La vue, la qualité des repas, l esprit colonial et la décoration du lieu. Une vraie parenthèse coloniale

Cons:

Pas grand chose , peut être l’emplacement qui oblige à prendre un taxi le soir notamment mais emplacement lié à la vue qui est magnifique !!

Pode melhorar
Pros:

A localização do hotel é muito boa, perto dos melhores pontos de Santa Tereza, dá para sair pelo bairro andando. Os funcionários são muito prestativos e atenciosos. O hotel tem uma vista linda e a piscina é ótima.

Cons:

A recepção só funciona até às 20h. Ficamos sem internet todas as noites e não tínhamos com quem reclamar. Qualquer problema a partir das 20h não tem como ser resolvido já que não há contato de emergência, sequer para conseguir uma água ou refrigerante. A qualidade dos travesseiros é muito ruim. Em um dos dias, não tinha tapete de banheiro, mesmo o quarto tendo uma banheira, nos deram toalhas de banho para serem usadas no chão. Quando chegamos tinha areia no lençol da cama. Nos ambientes comuns, a playlist repete o tempo inteiro, com músicas "clichê" para estrangeiros. São pequenos ajustes que, com carinho e cuidado, podem ser facilmente resolvidos para que se torne um hotel sensacional.

Decor is very basic, and the whole needs an upgrade. Good location in S Teresa
Pros:

Nice breakfast but a buffet style would be easier all round.

Cons:

this hotel was a substitute when another let us down, and we were expecting something of similar standard. No pool towels and too few staff to answer queries /assist. Both receptionists were charming, but the basins had no plugs, the wc seemed to block up and there were nails sticking out of the floorboards.
