Rio de Janeiro hotellit Leblon

Plussat: Great location. Great service. Parking for reasonable price right next door. Comfortable room.

Miinukset: Not so clean. But ok

Plussat: Staff were very helpful and polite, rooms were a good size, air conditioning worked well. Good choices for breakfast.

Miinukset: It would have been nice if the pool was open in the evening as well as the day time.

Plussat: The location is perfect. Rooms are confortable and very clean. The staff was kind dedicated. I had a problem with my air conditioning system and they solved it fast. The breakfast was very good.

Plussat: Close proximity to beaches, safe location and great environment of Leblon and easy access to city. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Free WiFi was an essential facility to maintain business contact whilst enjoying a holiday.

Plussat: The thing that I liked most was the staff. They were very kind all the time. Also, the breakfast the hotel's location and the room were very good. No doubt about it.

Miinukset: Perhaps the room's rate was a little expensive

Plussat: The staff were very accomodating in meeting our requests.

Miinukset: The room on our second stay was a little small and dark.

Plussat: in a good location,and close to the beaches of rio,plus good restaurants.Helpful staff,and in a good,safe area of the city

Plussat: Excellent location in a safe neighbourhood.

Plussat: It was central and in a safe area in Rio. The first room we were offered on the third floor was at the back and faced straight out on to a weather worn/dirty concrete wall - I can't imagine anyone would have wanted to stay there at the price charged at the hotel, so we had to be asked to be moved - and we were with no fuss - so that was fine. I imagine only rooms on the Rue General Artigas side are good like the one we ended up with. The staff were great and friendly.

Miinukset: Coffee at breakfast was bad in teh breakfast area (it was like all North American bar/restaurant/hotel coffee normally is) considering coffee is a staple export of Brazil this was a shock. There was no ice machine for drinks brought back to hotel - that would have been nice - I imagine particularly so in summer in Rio. No cheap option for them to arrange just ordinary general laundry - all priced as separate expensive individual to be washed items.

Plussat: Nice stay with helpful staff. May come back again.

Plussat: Excellent! Safe! PERFECT location. Helpful staff. Beautiful, clean rooms. Adequate space. close to beach/attractions/sightseeing. THOUROUGHLY recommend. excellent value

Miinukset: pool area

Plussat: It’s a shame. I wouldn’t expect an apartment in so bad conditions. Nothing more to say here. Great location. Horrible flat.

Plussat: Loved it!

Plussat: Located in the safe area 10 minutes’ walk from Leblon beach. We lived in apartment with one bedroom and living room with small kitchen. The apartment were very comfortable, with comfy bed. It also has a nice balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee. Supermarket with variety of fresh food was just next door from the hotel. It was great to have a kitchen and cook your own meal when you want) Our kids loved rooftop pool area. Pleasant and polite staff always open door for your, take your bags e.t.c.

Miinukset: I liked everything.

Plussat: Great staff, friendly and very professional and attentive to details (opening doors, taking our luggage, opening a wine bottle, etc). Location was great. Apartment size was very good and so was the balcony and the view. 24x7 reception. Definitely,I recommend the place.

Miinukset: Better wine opener and extra wine glasses (ideal 3 or 4)

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: No breakfast room. Furniture needs upgrading. Water leakage below A/C

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The bathroom

Plussat: The location is great, right by post 11. The staff was amazing special shout out to Mariano. It was a great place to stay for Carneval. The bar was great if a bit overpriced. It felt very safe.

Miinukset: Bar was overpriced.

Plussat: One lady from the reception was very nice to me, she carried my bag to the room.The other very good thing that makes you welcome was the free caipirinha you get on arrival.I would return back.Is better than many other hostels I have been around Brazil.Plenty of bathrooms and toilets for the guests.Clean and nice purple linean.

Miinukset: The upper bed is very uncomfortable, because there is no space inside the room, inconvenient.Airconditioning is blowing directly to you and you can get sick.The blankets are 10 reais extra which is 1/3 of the whole price. Very noisy from the bar.

Plussat: Facility was good

Miinukset: The bathroom could be cleanered more often.

Plussat: Location was good.

Miinukset: The service is bad. If I had to book an accommodation again, I would not book it here precisely because of the service. This refers especially to employees at the reception. They showed zero flexibility towards guests. What also caused my attention are torn sheets, below average basic breakfast, and filthy restrooms.

Plussat: The best kept secret hostel in Rio is changing - and this is not good news! This perfectly located three-stories house has been my favourite budget accommodation in Rio for more than I'd like to admit - 10 bloody years!! Only two blocks from the best part of Leblon beach, this nice, clean and unpretentious little hostel has made a few recent renovations turning the ground floor into a small restaurant open for non guests. The result is unattractive and it has ruined the beach house mood, moving the bar and eliminating the TV room. Anyways, if you want to spend one night in Rio just to enjoy a mid-week dive for less than USD 30, it is still a smart choice - and you get a free caipirinha.

Miinukset: recent renovations on the ground floor stink (it looks unfinished you guys), and I'm afraid there's more to come - enjoy while you can!

Plussat: The location is the only major benefit of this property.

Miinukset: A fee and deposit for the key, bed sheets and towel is communicated only at the check in. Very small rooms, noisy wooden bunk beds, horrible mattress. The hostel is actually under renovation with the whole ground floor being broken, tables and chairs covered allover with dust and workers circulating among guests. I was told that could leave my bag in the locker for the afternoon if needed after the check out which I did by early morning. I returned in the afternoon to pick up my luggage and when asked to open the exit door which is electrically locked, the owner or manager, conditioned my exit to identify myself in order to double check my checkout status. Another couple staid waiting for the manager to open the exit door along with me until he finally decided to free us to leave that nightmare with of hostel. This hostel should not be allowed to operate under renovation and display pictures that do not correspond to the current status of the property. Check out procedures should be also improved to avoid questioning and retaining guests leaving the hostel after already checked out. The owners are definitely exploring the convenient location to attract guests despite of the property horrible conditions. I wished I had taken pictures to illustrate what is described above.
