Não fiquei, pq não dava pra dormir e fui embora em seguida.
Pros:

A recepcionista muito simpática.

Cons:

O quarto muito quente e até as Janelas são vedadas, assim que entrei no quarto não quis ficar e fui embora não tinha condições de dormi ali.
Pedi o cancelamento e infelizmente não foi estornado o valor 😢
Fiquei no prejuízo paguei por algo que não utilizei, mas não pq não quis e sim pq não dava pra ficar!

Great place to explore Rio from
Pros:

Great location in Santa Teresa, perfect place to get to Christ the Redeemer early in the morning. And Santa Teresa itself is great, just be ready for some uphill walks!

The pool was huge, seemed like a place for lots of locals and families so was always busy, which was great but something to consider.

Cons:

No A/C in the room but a good fan that did make a bit of a difference.

Pros:

Staff is amazing! Very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the room the first day and second day the gave us a different room. The place it has a huge potential but..

Cons:

Isn't clean. Both rooms we got were dirty, hair of previous guests all around, some little animals excrement (I don't know, looked like rat one). I felt to clean the toilet with my wet tissue before using it, first room we got, bed was destroying under me and shaking A LOT. kitchen isn't clean, I changed my idea about cooking there I just boiled water. In the end, we stayed a few days, but I think we could find a better place for the same price. Pity because we could like it much more

Pros:

Lovely people, lovely courtyard and pool area. Very community feeling sharing a central courtyard. Room had a fan and was as expected for the low price. Water pressure was good. Location was good, a lovely short stroll to main Santa Teresa area. Felt very safe.

Great location for the money, basic amenities but fine for a night or two if you’re not planning on being in your room m
Pros:

Great location in Santa Teresa, felt very safe. Lovely pool

Cons:

Lots of noise at night, the rules state quiet till 11pm but this wasn’t our experience. Not the hosts fault, but the rooms are very close to the communal areas which does make it difficult to sleep. The rooms are very hot too, there’s a fan but it is quite noisy. The kitchen was very dirty so we decided against using it.

Boa.
Pros:

Ótimo custo benefício, área externa muito boa, o estacionamento foi um diferencial. Quarto simples, mas confortável, atendeu muito bem a minha demanda.

Cons:

Não tinha toalhas no quarto. Eu solicitei por algumas vezes e a funcionária dizia que ia levar, mas não levou. Ela parecia estar em outro mundo. A localização também, para quem não tem carro, pode ser uma questão, pois é bem no alto.

Pros:

Very clean and very friendly staff. It’s in a quiet location but very easy to get anywhere. Fabulous restaurant at the bottom of the street.

Cons:

There is only a fan in the rooms and the they can get quite hot. Not a problem if you’re appending most of your time outside the room.
