Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My family and I had an outstanding time. Jo & Jo’s is a magical place, we can’t wait to stay there again on our next trip to Rio.
Clean room but without house keeping throughout my one week's stay.
Breakfast was fantastic and varied. Property was very clean though busy with loads and loads of guests. Amanda was very helpful to me. Location was a few minutes walk to the tram going to Christ the Redeemer Statue. Local transport bus station was also nearby.
Overall great value for money. Kudos to the staff.

This property feels more like a hostel with private rooms rather than a traditional hotel. It’s set in a beautiful historic Portuguese-style building, which gives it a lot of charm.
The atmosphere is very lively and geared toward a younger crowd, with frequent parties and loud music, so it may not suit those looking for a quiet stay. The staff were helpful and pleasant throughout.
Most rooms are set up as shared spaces with either four beds or two beds. In private rooms, two twin beds are pushed together to create a larger bed. In my case, the bed itself needed maintenance—the legs were unstable, and I had to adjust or fix it each time I got into bed.
The rooms overall are in need of upkeep. While the colorful design adds character, there was mould in the bathroom and visible stains. Housekeeping is not automatic, so you need to request cleaning each morning. My room included a fridge, which was convenient, though most rooms do not. There is also no TV, which aligns with the social, hostel-style concept.
On the positive side, the Wi-Fi was excellent, and the food on the menu was very good. One thing to note: be careful walking on the stone pathways around the property, as they can be uneven.
Overall, for the price, it’s a decent option if you don’t plan to spend much time in the room and are comfortable with a more social, hostel-like environment.
Short stay but definitely worth staying. Felt welcoming from the inception. Special highlight to Marcelo at the front desk. He’s a Gem to that hotel. He was so patient and communicated so well thou there was a language barrier. He assisted with planning my tours and ensure my safety and enjoyment was #1 priority. Food and drinks were great.
I had an amazing experience at JO&JOE! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, there were lots of staff that were very helpful, and spoke both English and Portuguese, which made my stay much easier. really helped me enjoy my time there. I’d happily come back!
The staff at the facility lacked any semblance of professionalism!!! The rooms where invaded by mosquitoes and when brought to there attention l was informed they have repellent spray for sell.
My stay was incredible, the breakfast was delicious and had lots of options, the hot pool was a bonus, and it was a super relaxing place. I recommend it!
The Hotel was ok. But honestly - the reception couldn’t speak English nor cared about her job. We had 0 info. There was no water. The room was quite dirty and nearly no electric sockets to charge anything… it was quite loud as well during the night
A fairly large and good space for remote work. The downside is the neighbors, who might talk loudly at night, rustle bags in the morning, spray a lot of perfume, and cough. There should be rules posted everywhere about respecting other guests.
The hostel is big and beautiful. Mosquitos were terrible even using repellent they were biting me a lot.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room wasn’t clean.
The staff, though nice, couldn’t stop the all night parties in the pool beside our room. Like 10pm to 6am.
Security was sent a couple times and they quieted down for a bit, but because they were drunk, they just carried on.
The grounds are beautiful and I had stayed there previously last year, but the rooms have deteriorated.
We had a private room.

Water from the shower would spill onto the floor. Looked like a mini pool inside the room. We were given towels to soak up the water which wouldn’t help. People would slip and fall from how wet the floor would be. The water would spill outside the bathroom on to the room we would sleep in.
No TV in the room, no glasses (we had to beg for them in the hotel’s restaurant), no windows in the room (only on the entrance door), no mats on the concreted floor, no room cleaning service till you ask for it. The check in process was very slow. There is a lot of staff around, but they are not really efficient. The property is in need of renovation for sure.
