Experiência um horror. Site deveria rever a inclusão de de hotel e verificar o que é hotel e o que é pousada ou hotel favela. Por não ter cartéis indicando o lugar , chegamos na rocinha e recebidos com fuzil. Estrangeiro não pode ir aí de jeito nenhum.

Muito satisfeito

O hotel é muito bom. A localização é ótima para quem busca sossego. O único porém é que fica no outro lado da Rocinha. Tem um posto policial na esquina. Nos sentimos seguros, mas apreensivos com os tiroteios na favela. A vista é maravilhosa e o atendimento é excelente. O pessoal é muito atencioso. O café é muito bom. Vimos macaquinhos nas árvores, ararinhas e até um tucano. O acesso aos quartos e ao café/piscina/jacuzzi é por escada, mas nada que atrapalhe. O bairro da gávea tem tudo (shopping a 10 min de uber). Recomendo.

very nice, and off the beaten path

The hotel is up the hill away from the madness of the beach and downtown areas, but still a 15 minute walk to the heart of Gavea and a 15 minute cab ride (download Uber or app called "99" before you go!) to Ipanema and Leblon. Everyone at the hotel is friendly and helpful. The breakfast each morning is superb, especially when the monkeys come and join you. The pool is small but the hot tub is great (you have to ask them to heat it up 40 minutes in advance, though, and they shut it down early - at 10pm even on weekends). The view from the balcony in our room and from the gym is one of the best in all of Rio!

Vale muito a pena!

Local incrível, com uma aura romântica e espirituosa. Fomos muito bem recepcionados pelo Sr Ricardo que se dispôs a tornar nossa estadia numa experiência inesquecível. Café da manhã bem completo, saboroso, com bolos, torradas, sucos, ovos e bacon (é só pedir que vem fresquinho da cozinha), pão de queijo, etc. O quarto... nossa! Que delícia! A cama possui em dossel que quando é fechado te deixa em outra dimensão... ;) , sugiro só aos gerentes dispensarem uma melhor atenção no reparo do dossel, é um dos charmes do quarto <3 A pousadinha é bem pequenina, bastante escada para acesso das dependências, piscina, jacuzzi e saunas que ficam no pavimento inferior, o que para nós não foi problema. Fácil acesso a Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas e pontos turísticos, a pé não dá mas táxi ou Uber sai bem baratinho. Enfim! Valeu a pena cada centavo! Certamente voltaremos!

Comfortable boutique hotel in the trees

Our family stayed here for two weeks. We were pleased with the friendly staff and comfortable room. The setting is beautiful - tucked away in the trees and separate from the beaches, whilst still close. Monkeys came to eat bananas from our hands in the mornings.

Tranquilidade e Romantismo!

O Hotel é bem completo! Poucos aptos. O Quarto que fechamos tivemos problemas mas na mesma hora trocaram para um com melhor vista. O apto possui um cooktop aonde pode-se fazer pequenas refeições. Jantar com a linda vista para o Cristo Redentor é magnífico! Não utilizamos os outros serviços pois ficamos apenas 1 dia e estava muito frio. Mas recomendo!

Otimo lugar para passar tempo com seu amor

Positivos: Um belo hotel boutique! Vistas lindas, cafe da manha excelente sobre olhando o mar e as montanhas, moveis dos quartos muito bonitos e confortaveis, serviço prestativo do gerente, excelente lugar para casaias. Negativo: GPS leva para a rua de cima - num bairro sem saida e dilapidada. Jacuzzi não estava funcionando quando ficamos no hotel. OBS. O gerente fez de tudo para no accomodar. Concertou e limpou a jacuzzi e se esforçou muito para fazer nosso tempo muito gostoso.

It is a lovely and friendly hotel, the staffs are really nice and the view is beautiful!! Staffs were so helpful and our stay went smoothly, we also stayed with our children and they enjoyed their stay. It is a bit far away from the beach but the room comfort and view is lovely.

Estadia chuvosa

Nossa estadia começou de maneira frustrante pois haviam cedido o quarto que alugamos para outros hospedes. Nos concederam um check-out mais tarde para compensar essa falha. De resto, o hotel é bem aconchegante e ideal para casais.
