Best day pass experience ever
Pros:

Our experience at Santa Teresa Hotel Rio MGallery was absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm, with stunning views and a truly relaxing atmosphere. The pool and grounds make it feel like a hidden oasis in Rio.

A special thank you to Alex and Henrique, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Their hospitality, kindness, and attention to detail made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of from the moment we arrived. They were incredibly accommodating and helped create a truly special experience.

If you’re looking for a romantic, intimate, and unique stay in Rio de Janeiro, I highly recommend Santa Teresa Hotel Rio MGallery. We can’t wait to return.

Outstanding hotel in Rio - a classy sanctuary
Pros:

This hotel is like a sanctuary, away from the crazy hustle and bustle of Rio. It's very beautiful, in a converted old coffee plantation. The staff were very helpful, they organised a terrific guide and driver for us which was a brilliant way to see the city's main sights. The restaurant's breakfast was exceptional. The pool bar was fantastic after a long hot day too. Santa Teresa is the best location to stay away from the iconic beaches. There's some great local bars and restaurants that are very close too,

Cons:

Honestly the only thing I didn't like was the toilet issue .. having to place dirty toilet paper in a bin next the toilet is something I will never get used to! We accidentially blocked the toilet on the first night! But the staff fixed the issue very quickly and explained the protocol.

10/10 hospitality
Pros:

I was strolling around Santa Teresa when I coincidentally stumbled upon this hotel. I decided to enter because I needed a drink and a cool place to relax after a long walk. All I can say is I will definitely return, my waiter tomaz was so informative and hilarious! All the employees were very hospitable but he was amazing and I would return just to see him again! The ambiance in the restaurant was so boujee and the cocktails were a 10/10 highly recommended!
