A nice hotel and room (which was quiet) and good breakfast. Terrible staff though. Unfriendly and even hostile, with 1 exception, although at check in he didn't explain all the amenities

Serene spot for relaxation. Large pool long enough for me to swim laps. Spacious room with almost no street noise disturbance. Staff very attentive and kind, especially Guilherme and Vladimir at reception. Extensive breakfast selection with certain items cooked to your order.

Very pleasant stay.

The staff was helpful and always had a member who could speak English. Food was great. The room, common areas and grounds were always well kept.

I liked the breakfast and pool at this property. The neighborhood unfortunately has alot of homeless people on the streets and garbage but is good if you love music as the Lapa area has many music bars and restaurants. The staff is nice but they do not have too much knowledge about recommendations for swimable beaches and family activities.

Guadalupe, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a pleasant enough hotel in a very run down area of Rio. The hotel has seen better days. It uses Brazilian plugs but they have no adapters to lend or buy. The meal service is sketchy. Okay for a very short stay if you do not mind being a prisoner in the hotel at night. I stayed in a what was supposed to be a heritage room but most of the nice features had been stripped out.
Martyn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel itself was great! Extremely helpful and nice staff. The location was however not the best. I didn’t feel safe walking around at night alone or even with my partner. A lot of homeless near by and a lot of people told me that theft is very high in that part of town.
5-night trip

6/10 Good

It doesn’t feel like a 4.5 star hotel. The staff didn’t even bother to help with luggage or to say good morning. You get charged the water in the room. Most hotels give that for free. The pool didn’t seem all that clean either. It is located at a good spot since you have everything close by. Just be careful walking at night. It may not be safe.
Cesar, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Food was just ok in my opinion. Breakfast was free but left a lot to be desired. Very clean and secure place but once you leave the premises you’re on your own and may see any and everything. But that’s all over Lapa. So if you’re faint of heart this may not be for you.
Brian L, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

Solo traveling female. I unfortunately cut my stay short here and went back to a previous hotel. I was booked here for 4 days, I am traveling to Brazil after visiting 4 countries before (in 1 trip). I had multiple rolling luggage (3) bapack totebag. The security guard was kind enough to take my largest luggage down the flight of stairs to reception. Once I was checked in, I was told my room was on the 2nd floor (pink buildings) and there was no elevator in that area. I asked if someone would be able to help with my bags, mainly just needed help with the 1 larger/heavier luggage (under 50lbs but just big for me) I was told no, they didn't have anyone. I found that odd and just said ok and went to my room. I lug everything upstairs to the room and it's ok. The room is older, boutique style. The bathroom is decent but dated, there was shower gel provided as hand soap at the sink which i found odd but not a big deal. Here's why i had to leave: mosquitoes. I understand it is tropical but the amount of mosquitoes i was swatting within the first hour was insane. I have stayed in hostels in Cuba and other parts of Brazil (Paraná) and didnt have them IN the room (also staff always offers to help you with bags). I ordered dinner delivery and sat at the pool area to eat and guess what I see, a bellman with a luggage cart bringing someone's luggage to the tall white building. So I'm not exactly sure what that was about. I ultimately left after the first night and don't regret it

4/10 Fair

Era Tradicional pelo conforto e segurança.

O check in “sempre” é demorado, há anos, venha sem pressa. Nos horários de pico seria muito conveniente colocar mais pessoas na recepção . Restaurante sempre perfeito, café, piscina, sempre agradáveis. Foi muito desconcertante o colchão estava “quebrado”, o lado direito tinha um amassado que jogava para o chão quem deitava. Não dormi, p não incomodar o marido que iria dirigir cedo. Chamei a camareira cedo qt 548, mostrei para que trocassem, e ela disse q eu não deveria ter retirado o forro, ela estava c pressa, e o gerente novo tinha comprado muitos colchões e com certeza não compraria outro. Não acreditei! Era um hotel de descanso, atmosfera aconchegante, foi como estar num hostel que vc nunca mais voltaria. A pia do banheiro além de estar entupida estava rachada a louça. No check out falei ao atendente que me respondeu: a sua conta está certinha, boa tarde! Quantas vezes elogiei o Vila Galle ! Os funcionários! Torço para que volte a ver bons comentários, e seja possível voltar a usufruir do conforto que significava o Hotel.
O lado direito estava deformado , inclinado , inaceitável para qq hotel
