What people say

Everything was perfect. The staff does not ask you if everything is ok they ask is it perfect and it was. The view is unmatched and rooms are like no other hotel,all individually designed each with a different feel. The food was wonderful and the staff is top notch and did everything to our liking during our stay. The place is absolutly stunning from the outside especially at night. Everything! The room was awesome, the view was amazing, the food was so so good! Best of all, the staff were lovely - the nicest staff in any hotel in any country I've been in. They did everything they could to help me, which is even more impressive as I don't speak Portuguese and they still went out of their way to make sure everything was good.
all reviews » I cannot say enough about how wonderfull our stay was at this hotel. It is so amazing! The view is the best and the rooms WOW! We were so well taken care of by Ben. I will tell everyone they must come and visit! Thanks so much for making our visit so great!!!. Fantastic hotel with great views of the city. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Everyone speaks English and were great at recommending good places to visit in Rio. Very chilled out atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and the hotel gave amazing views of Rio. The rooms are very luxurious and it was very relaxing. Homely and personal in very designer chic surroundings. Views were stunning. Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.Of course the spectacular views you have from the hotel. The staff was really friendly and very helpful. Stunning location and view, helpfull and well informed staff, luxurous rooms. Excellent view over Rio. Very nice rooms. The staff extremely helpful. The hotel staff was truly the best attribute of the hotel, very helpful, friendly and frankly we wouldn't had such good time if it wasn't for their advice, suggestions and assistance. We have also enjoyed the hotel breakfast, never crowded, always fresh and in great ambience. As for the hotel facilities; the location in 'Santa Teresa' is really nice (amazing views incl. small monkeys).the rooms are very nice, beautiful view. No - everything was perfect, I wish every hotel was like this!. It was great can't really find something that we did not like. The hotel only provides double rooms and has no singles or twins. We only stayed for a night, but if you were to stay for a long period of time you are a taxi distance away from the rest of Rio's tourist activities and cafe's/beaches which could work out costly over a long period. We did not have a daily maid service though this was not important for a 2 night stay. Situated away from the centre of Santa Theresa so either a very long walk to get anywhere or a taxi are essential. The panorama more than makes up for this though.The only negative thing we experienced was the mold we discovererd around the showerhead. In time, this gave a unpleasant smell, which was initially covered up cleaning materials. Prizes of itineraries organized through the hotel are high for Brazilian standards.Quite remote location, nothing within walking distance so you need to take taxis (which are quite reliable and arrive in around 10 minutes. It could have been perfect if the hotel had a fitness facilities.the breakfast is a bit cheap, a bit difficult to acces, should be mentionned that is in the nice area of santa teresa. When we arrived ther was no 24 hour butler as promised,the shower flooded,the toilet flooded,the mixer tap fawcett at the sink came off which flooded the sink area,there was no telephone working in the room,the light at the wardrobe did n't work,there was no top chef cooking wonderfull cuisine (no chef at all!!) and a breakfast selection of scrambled eggs,bread and different tasting fruit juices,.
