Rio de Janeiro hotellit Laranjeiras

Plussat: It was a simple fresh breakfast with good Music!

Miinukset: Not strong shower

Plussat: The property is beautiful. The location is convenient, and safe. The hosts are wonderful, Luiz gave us a lot of tips about Rio.

Miinukset: We liked everything!

Plussat: Hotel is clean and the room was big, clean and it has everything We needed. The staff was amazing and Luiz made sure have everything we need and he always answers our questions with a big smile. He gave us tips and places to go and he even helped us with some bookings just to make sure we are happy.

Plussat: The breakfast was delicious & something different was on offer every morning. The location was excellent for all the things we wanted to see. Louise & Leila went out of their way to help us acclimatise to being in Brazil. They went over & above as hosts & really helped us to settle in & showed us the ropes. Without their help it would have been more difficult. They were marvellous.

Miinukset: Nothing not to like!

Plussat: Hospitality, Location, House Warmnes

Plussat: Luis was wonderful, we had a late flight on the day we left. He allowed us to use the room til 6pm at no extra charge. We were able to shower, pack and freshen up before we left. This was a huge bonus for our long flight home. He took my family up to a view point in his vehicle and gave us a lot of advice on local attractions. Pool was fantastic as was breakfast. Security also good. Amazing old home, with many (500+) cable tv movies in English. My kid's loved being able to watch a movie after a long day of sightseeing.

Miinukset: Nothing...it was a little noisy one night, but it was a saturday and there was a celebration at the neighbours. Not a problem.

Plussat: Ympäristö Luizin ohjeet ja apu Hotellin rauhallisuus Hyvä aamupala

Plussat: Luiz and Leila were really helpful and friendly. We got a lot of information and tips for spending time in Rio.

Plussat: Louis is a great host, he goes above and beyond what is expected. He is very very helpful and on hand without being intrusive. He helped to book tickets for us, took us for a drive around the area...essential to get ones bearings. Also gave us a lift to a local restaurant one night after we'd asked for him to call us a taxi. Room was very spacious with a large comfortable bed...although it did feel dated and if i am being truly honest i think using the word "boutique" is not accurate Secure entry system Breakfast was very tasty, they even fried us some eggs to add to the generous cold selection on offer

Miinukset: Sadly...and sorry Louis but the noise....single glazed windows, which in our room looked out on a cobbled street with a stream of cars passing by. Also when we arrived we had planes passing directly overhead this was 9pm until 11.30pm. Louis said this was due to the wind direction..not the best start for two tired travellers needing to catch up on their sleep...especially when i booked the hotel on the basis of its name "Nature paradise". Thankfully we never heard planes at night after this first night! As were out all day, we cannot comment on the daily flight path but on our last morning we recorded a plane every 15 minutes going over. In conclusion, if you like your sleep & are sensitive to noise this needs consideration. Also Ikea thin curtains, so when the sun comes up (5am in our case) you are also up! No hotel signage outside so we had issues with some drivers, Louis does provide detailed instructions for taxis but they still seemed to struggle! Whilst i love a clean room, & consider myself a neat traveller...every day the cleaner placed all our items in draws, cupboards etc...made us feel a little unwelcome and we nearly left something behind hadn't it been for doing a final room sweep!

Plussat: Location Friendly staff

Miinukset: Noisy Close to street Ok

Plussat: The hostel is nicely located in close to the beach, subway station, restaurants and bars. The neighbourhood is safe and nice.

Plussat: There is one friendly employee working here. He was very nice and accommodating.

Miinukset: The other 3 employees were bitter old people who hate their job. And they are absolutely rude to everyone. The shower floor is so grimy and slippery it's not being cleaned properly. There is no common area and no garden. The wifi doesnt work in the rooms. It's really just a place to sleep and leave.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: The price, the staff and location.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: This venue has an excellent location with a short walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. The metro is very close.

Miinukset: The venue can be noisy when the nearby restaurants close but it lapses very quickly. The staff speak no English at all despite the claim on booking.com

Plussat: Security and location only good points Property gated and locked Individual large lockers provided CCTV 5 min walk to flamengo beach

Miinukset: Towels were filthy Sheets were stained Noisy in the morning as no door on the reception area Common area is just a couch in the reception Host spoke absolutely no english even though it is in description that she does Elderly lady roaming around the hostel the entire time from early in the morning to late at night made us extremely uncomfortable, in bathroom every 20 min, seen her in and out of different bedrooms, think she might live there as she tried to show us things when checking in
