Rio de Janeiro hotels in Santa Teresa

Pros: Close to perfect location, design, atmosphere and food

Cons: Slow service at the restaurant

Pros: An amazing oasis in the heat of old Rio

Cons: Loved everything

Pros: Nice location and amazing food

Cons: Staff and service a little slow

Pros: Not much

Cons: Dirty. Noisy

Pros: Friendly staff, beautiful location

Pros: The hotel is fantastic, staff is very friendly and welcoming and I loved the area! The food was incredibly good, We had dinner at Tereze and we LOVED it. Breakfast is also insanely good.

Cons: Our room had a communicating door and unfortunately we could hear the other guests talking next door. Room was also not completely dark in the morning as my partner and I like.

Pros: Great pool and bar. Wonderful restaurant for evening dinner (one of best of our trip in Brazil) Excellent room and breakfast

Cons: nil

Pros: The hotel is beautiful, the location is extremely interesting. The accompanying resturaunt is wonderful for breakfast and meals. The staff were extremely helpful. Alex and Aroldo were excellent staff for breakfast. The pool was great and the area not too crowded. There were monkeys in the trees and they came came to you. This place was very special and we will stay here next time were in Rio.

Cons: The hot tub was either too hot (for every guest that tried) too cold for most or the water was too shallow. Room service was forgotten once. Not enough plug sockets, especially if you wanted to plug a laptop in to work.

Pros: Good location in lively neighbourhood

Cons: There was a lot of noise (music and party noise ) from the house next door which was rented out . Ear plugs were very useful . We would use the official airport taxi instead of the one the accommodation supplied as there’s was not there to great us ( 40 mins late ) and was more than twice the price . We were however so pleased we stayed in this area as there was a great vibe

Pros: Gorgeous building, set in wonderful gardens. Loved the pool and the views. We stayed in the chalet and it was lovely, very private. Very secure property, good location for St Therese.

Cons: We were charged for the full breakfast by booking.com but there were smaller, cheaper options on the menu. Don't know if the breakfast was optional but I didn't see it when booking.

Pros: I loved the style of the house, the lay-out. The internet worked well, the house had great potential for making the pool a little more user friendly, perhaps a snack bar or drinks. A TV in the rooms would be an added benefit or even a communal TV room/internet cafe

Cons: The house is a little ragaty round the edges and could do with some maintenance. It was lacking in access to refreshments, I know they offer an airport shuttle but the price is expensive. Having to pay and extra R$50 for checking in between 21:00 - 23:00 & not being able to check in after 23:00 is very out dated in this day and age. Especially after a long days travel or a flight delay which is out of the customers hands. When we arrived the door bell from the street to the reception area didn't work. The following night when we returned from a night out we found a customer waiting on the door step. A female alone at 23:00, just because the door bell didn't work. That's after we informed the receptionist 24hrs earlier that the bell didn't work.

Pros: The decorations and the vibe of the place. The location is in an artsy hip area.

Cons: The level of noise from the street and neighboring rooms. Doors and window handles needed repair

Pros: Lovely art deco house in a great location, close to both Lapa and Santa Teresa.

Cons: No hot water so cold showers and the room wasn't cleaned every day. Wifi didn't work in the room but did in the main part of the house.

Pros: Nice area with the pool, friendly staff

Cons: Had to pay extra for checking in after 9 pm.

Pros: Marianne and Marcus were so helpful and considerate, nothing was too much trouble. They made my stay welcoming and enjoyable. The hotel had a great atmosphere, like stepping back in time. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Cons: Would have liked tea and coffee facilities in my room.

Pros: Authentic house

Cons: Breakfast is OK, but not great and it is served only at 8:00. If you like to rise early to go out, it is a pity to have to wait for breakfast. We had the top room and the odd thing is that you can only reach that room through the use of an elevator - which makes you feel a bit disconnected from the rest of the hotel. I´d recommend the other rooms.

Pros: We loved everything! The place is beautiful! The staff incredible. The atmosphere out of this world ! The breakfast and diner were delicious ! Cocktails are awesome too!

Cons: Nothing. It was perfect from start to end :)

Pros: The property and staff were great!

Cons: However the wind kept blowing our window shutters all night, the fire alarm went of on one night and other guests were super loud in the middle of the night as well.

Pros: We only stayed for one night before having to catch an early morning flight so can't really comment on the location as we didn't really go out. The hotel is lovely, very modern and quirky. The bed was huge and very comfy! We were leaving very early in the morning so didn't get to experience the breakfast but they did make us a lovely little lunch bag which I thought was very nice..

Pros: - Excellent breakfast in a cool outdoor/indoor space - Very friendly staff - Great value for money - Cute decor - Great location in Santa Teresa

Cons: - No pool, no elevator - We had an issue with the AC, but the staff helped fix it quickly - Rooms are across the street in an annex building

Pros: Great and friendly staff (who also speaks English), the rooms are really big and have both an authentic as well as a young vibe. Very close to some great places like Explorer Bar, Bar dos Descasados and Aprazivel in Santa Teresa.

Cons: A bit more difficult to get an uber compared to some other locations in Rio, but still doable. Instead of waiting 1min it can take up to 10-15min before you can get a ride. So, just something to take into account when you have reservations.

Pros: The staff was super friendly with good English I got a room upgrade Good price / value

Cons: No 220V plugins (takes forever to charge the phone) Breakfast could have organic options since it's targeting hipsters

Pros: Excelente localização na Lapa

Cons: Região meio ruim para crianças,

Pros: location

Cons: The reviews in booking do not meet the reality just check for the hotel on google and see the reviews. Awful conditions! Old and dirty ... night stuff unprofessional. Breakfast very basic! It’s cheap but it’s says “GREAT “ in the booking.com... not true!!!! (Dirty sheets and smelling toalet... loud AC

Pros: Only location is good.

Cons: Breakfast is bad. No black tea! The towel is a bit dirty. It locates near the road which is nosy. If u think otel is just sleeping for u, maybe u can book but if u dont think so, u shouldnt book this otel

Pros: Good

Cons: Location.....I did not feel safe

Pros: Location, value, pool and gym

Cons: Room service food was bad.

Pros: Location

Cons: The view

Pros: It's not a touristic area for sure. But I really enjoy it! I didn't feel unsafe. Sure you shouldn't walk alone by yourself at the night, especially if you were a woman.

Pros: Location next to lots of bars, pool bar area

Cons: Very slow making food, had to cancel and music ridiculously loud at pool bar!

Pros: This hotel was another peak of my trip to Rio... So we decided to stay one more night...The view from the balcony and from the breakfast terrace is amazing! You can see the Pao de Acucar and Christ the Redeemer... I think its view beats all the 5* hotels in Rio de Janeiro...The breakfast is full of fruits, some bread and you can also order eggs...The pool was nice and the hotel in overall is clean and really cute. The hotel staff was really friendly and even though the room I wanted was reserved, they finally managed to give it to us so we stayed to the room we wanted! tip: get a room with balcony

Pros: The staff, (the morning receptionist & afternoon) the sweetest girls ever. They were so welcoming and helpful. One of the receptionist even cooked for me because everything was closed sundays after 4 pm. The view is beyond beautiful. The rooms are clean and look exactly like the pictures this is worth so much more than it’s cost!! 10 stars

Cons: The location is a little isolated from the Santa Theresa town, I stood over the weekend and sundays everything is closed, so I had to starve because there was no cook at the villa and due to the isolated location didn’t really want to travel too far for food.

Pros: The view, the breakfast and dinner when the restaurant was open. Swimming pool was nice. Caroline was so lovely.

Cons: I paid £600 for 4 days. Not happy at all. The location, so out of the way of Rio, no shops around at all. Nothing. It was not stated on booking. Yes there was a fridge with some water, beer etc but no prices stated. We thought complimentary. No. When we arrived we were offered no drink, water or anything. After a long trip. To welcome us. The French receptionist was very unhelpful, dismissive quite rude and gave us no information about anything, buses, Uber’s or how to get around. We found this out from another guest. Basically 10-15 minutes on the bus to get anywhere near. Or Uber, but WiFi wasn’t good. Thankfully my friend talks Portuguese. The room was nothing like the photos, it was dirty, the sheets smelt awful, the hot tub was rusty and so were there mirrors. There was no where to put clothes. The hot water didn’t work well for 4 days and we kept asking how to fix it. The air conditioning was awful, it faced to the bath, not to the room and was leaking badly for 3 days. There were a few toiletries but so small and you didn’t know what they were. The room was made up 2 days out of 4 and they only made the bed. We didn’t get fresh towels, they were still wet from the previous day. When I’m complained the first time about air conditioning, room etc, the French receptionist was so rude to me. Basically dismissed me. The whole place needs upgraded and refreshed. It could be as wonderful as the photos show. Not worth the money. I realise it was over NY but even then, I expected more and to be treated as a valued guest, not a burden.

Pros: Incredible view

Cons: They don’t have cream cheese and expresso at the breakfast

Pros: View and spa

Cons: Terrace Door can t lock Mouldy lamp Open power socket missed very dangerous and no luxury for any room especially for a master room Curtains dirty Tape on the ceiling Ceilings lights oxidate and dirty in the bathroom Bathroom Shelfs dirty with dasty

Pros: The hotel has a great view and everything is pretty and intimate, exactly what you need to relax

Cons: A bathroom mat and a couple of face towels would make everything easier.

Pros: Amazing staff, beautiful view, large swimming pool, tasty breakfast, enormous bathtub

Cons: Location is not really satisfying. It is far away both from any beach and from the centre.

Pros: Breakfest is beutiful.Views from teracce is amazing!!!
