Santa Teresa

10/10 Excellent

Our stay at Santa Teresa Hotel Rio was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and impeccable service. The hotel perfectly combines luxury, comfort, and the unique charm of Rio's Santa Teresa neighbourhood. The rooms were elegant, the facilities outstanding, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. A special mention must go to the breakfast team. Aroldo, Tomas, and Tony were truly fantastic every morning. Their...

Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro

Ipanema

10/10 Excellent

Fabulous stay ! After original confusion of room category, which the team handles exceptionally well (thank you !) we had the most wonderful stay. Spent most of our time poolside, great service and wonderful vibes pre carnival. Reception and concierge team always present and welcoming and warm. Breakfast was excellent in quality and service (maybe better to use the restaurant downstairs instead on the one on the first floor though as a little dark). Classic ‘old school’ white glove service in...

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

São Conrado

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Nacional is a huge, modern and impressive looking hotel, but our stay did not get off to the best start. Check in took over 40 minutes after a long flight, and there always seemed to be queues at reception. The guy checking us took 20 minutes and seemed very slow. We'd booked two junior suites rooms and had asked to be on the same floor so our kids could be near us, but were put around 20 floors apart and were told the hotel was full, which was annoying. When you book two rooms how hard...

10/10 Excellent

I loved the room view . The breakfast offered was fantastic as well !! As an issue to work on would be the late check out policies . It is said that you pay 50%for a late check out ( until 6pm) which I was willing to do , but even showing the fare published in the hotel site to calculate half of it , they came out with a higher fare in their system and charged me 20% more than I thought I would pay . The lady hotel manager did not have a clear explanation about it , but paying what she said...
