The property and pool are gorgeous! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only downside was slow pool bar service. Also consider the location if you will be relying on ubers- often times drivers cancel because of the difficulty getting to the top of the hill. I will definitely recommend the hotel and stay again if I return to Rio.

Mesmerizing
As always, I had an exceptional stay at the hotel. The staff proved to be exceptionally attentive, and I benefited from an unprecedented double upgrade and a late check-out. In fact, the staff were the most attentive I have ever seen, having stayed in five star hotels across the globe. The Michelin-star restaurant is to die for and the artwork is mesmerizing. I must for lovers of sophisticated boutique hotels.

Wonderful oasis hotel
We loved this hotel. A real oasis in the hills away from the amazing hustle and bustle of downtown Rio. Wonderful staff who were very happy to help you out. A lovely restaurant where we celebrated our friend’s birthday. Wonderful balcony room with a slight view of Christ Reedemer. Loved the pool and pool bar, although the cocktail making could do with some attention, and the staff there were slow. Would come back to stay if ever in Rio again.

Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, as was dinner in Tereze. Area around may seem intimidating but very safe during the day, would not venture far at night. Make sure to know your route , do not wander aimlessly as it is close to several favelas. I would request a room not on the "mountain side" as this is right beside the tram line and noisy. Spa was nice, pool was great.

Just an amazingly beautiful and well run small hotel with great staff stunning rooms and lush well maintained grounds. Don’t be put off by the area either - its easy to get to by Uber or taxi and great to explore if you like laid back bars in an artsy location. And safe to explore as well.

More 4.5 star stay
Good location in quiet, safe neighbourhood close to nearby tourist attractions. Spacious room but facilities not as modern as I expected. The pool is nice but by afternoon it gets dirty with leaves. Very good massage by Michelle. The buffet breakfast has a nice selection but more options (eggs) at the weekend. The coffee is outstanding, a nice zesty orange flavour with plenty available at reception throughout the day. One thing that did annoy me was that in the rooms, they’re are notices stating they have a project to help the environment by reducing laundry and if you don’t want your towels washed that day leave them hanging up. I put one towel on the floor for washing and left others on the hook hanging for not washing but all towels were replaced. Why have signs if you’re not going to following this?? Also it annoyed me in the restaurant that only menus were available by QR codes, it would be my preference to actually see a physical menu for ease of use. Staff were friendly and provided assistance when requested
