Rio de Janeiro Hoteller i Santa Teresa

Excellent staff,front desk superb. Rooms are lovely and Santa Teresa is much more interesting than the beach areas eg Ipanema. The restaurant, food was good but service poor and very expensive

The staff were exceptional - friendly, highly responsive to all requests, fluently multi-lingual. Although the website had promised a gym or fitness room, there is no such facility: only a spa for massage and facials and similar treatments. The location in Sta Theresa is interesting for a couple of days but not the most convenient for longer.

The hotel is calm, nicely decorated, with spacious rooms overlooking the bay. The staff is very helpful and offers good advice for restaurant and evening reservations, as well as great help with transportation and translation for those who do not speak portuguese. Away from the touristic places, the hotel is located in the old-fashioned heart of the city.

The hotel was small and intimate and all staff were very pleasant and accomodating. Rooms were excellent and the hotel's position in the Santa Theresa district puts you in the middle of an historical part of the city. It was let down by excessive cost for food presented on their room service menu (the only food you can get apart from breakfast) that was of very poor quality - R$25 (£10) for 2 slices of bread with ham and cheese masquerading as a pannini with nothing on the side. We would recommend it if you want to be within the city and don't need to eat there. The limited room service menu is very expensive for what you get and is not of good quality (see above)
