Rio de Janeiro hotellit lähellä Rio Design Leblon

Plussat: The hotel and its stuff was very nice, the view from the balcony was amazing, the nearest beach very clean and beautiful, good restaurants near, very quiet place

Plussat: A fantastic hotel. Service was impeccable, the rooms were clean, well designed and stunning views. A great location for Rio with a fun rooftop pool scene.

Miinukset: It is expensive.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything!

Miinukset: It seems they sell day passes for the rooftop pool - so the crow up there was a bit questionable.

Plussat: Swimming pool

Plussat: the hotel is super expensive for what it provides. the room is average, breakfast below average for the price u pay.

Plussat: This is a wonderful hotel, luxury one, really fancy and well located. The poll bar is amazing and the view from the pool as well!! Staff is really really nice! We loved it!!!

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The hotel's location in Rio de Janiero is great, which was a relief as the concierge offered to send an armoured car for our transfer from the airport (no kidding !). Great spot for Ipanema Beach, the Fort, the Sunday Hippy Market, restaurants and shopping and walking distance to the lagoon and Copacabana. On the Sunday morning of our stay the roads along Ipanema and Copacabana beaches were closed to traffic, and we join a great crowd of runners and cyclists getting some exercise in the sun. The design aesthetic throughout is quite pleasing. The rooftop pool is lovely, though overrun with Instagrammers (ok - that's like the free entertainment) and aspiring high-rollers trying to get noticed. The gym was spectacularly well equipped, and the concierge team were helpful when I asked for advice on booking an excursion across the city.

Miinukset: My wife and I were initially given a first floor room that had a nasty smell, a noisy AC unit, and bedsheets that were damp. Welcome to the Leading Hotels of the World (Not !). We spoke to 4 members of staff, who all confirmed the problem, yet still waited over an hour before being offered another room on the same floor, and a complimentary treatment in the spa (which we were were later charged for). Our sleep was disturbed by noise from the beach and the road outside during every night of our stay. It transpires (having spoken with one of the customer service managers) that all of the rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors are blighted in this way. I really object to paying as much as the Fasano charge, and not getting a decent night's sleep. There are so many members of staff working in this hotel, you might imagine it should make for great customer experience. But the staff in reception pass the buck; the maid wouldn't let us enter our room one afternoon (we went to the rooftop bar to wait till she released our room and our stuff); and the army of waiting staff around the rooftop bar and pool have a tendency to ignore mere mortals and focus their attention on wealthier customers. You can tip and tip again, you can pay the exhorbitant additional charge for breakfast, and you can smile and pass the time with the many members of staff who will enquire about your day. But you may well find yourself paying five star money for a much poorer service.

Plussat: Comfortable room. Well situated.

Miinukset: Dark. Snobby staff. Expensive. Breakfast not included.

Plussat: Service at the restaurant (breakfast) are simply perfect. Nice room, great view at pool.

Miinukset: Service in the pool need to be more active, they simply forgot our demand in two oportunities in two different days.

Plussat: Rooftop pool and bar were spectacular! Above and beyond service-- you feel like you have your own personal assistant

Miinukset: The courtyard rooms are a bit small given how expensive the hotel is.

Plussat: All the amenities and bed was comfortable

Miinukset: Price could be better

Plussat: Amazing ambience Great staff

Miinukset: A bit in the middle of nowhere, everything must be done by cab. But also good because who wants to escape the craziness of the tourism is in the right place.

Plussat: The pool, the rooms

Miinukset: It was far away

Plussat: The swimming pool area is great and the food is delicious!

Miinukset: It is sometimes difficult to set the temperature of the shower.

Plussat: Concierge was amazing, they booked us an excellent helicopter ride which was the highlight of our holiday. We are very thankful to the beautiful people of the concierge. Breakfast was very good with a good view. Staff at the breakfast are genuinely nice. We had a problem with our ac on check in so they upgraded us to a corner room which had a better view than most rooftop bars in Rio. The ladies at the reception were nice.

Miinukset: Location of Sheraton is near Vidigal favela. Beach area looks amazing but it is open to everyone from outside. At some point we had an incident where a guy with a gun had two other guys on the floor down on their faces and everyone from the hotel just fled the beach. No shots were fired but was scary enough not to return to that beautiful beach. We found a small cockroach in our bathtub but was not a huge deal. During checkout I noticed that I was being charged the USD amount converted into Reals at elevated hotel rate, but when I refused they did their best to bring the price to the USD price I booked at booking.com.

Plussat: Everything was fantastic, fairly pricey but great.

Miinukset: Breakfast.

Plussat: 1. The beach is a private for the hotel guest. 2. They give a free bicycle for hotel guests. If you are coming for relaxation that will be the best hotel for you

Miinukset: 1. The location is far form the copacabana beach and they close the street some time and Uber take very long time . 2. The bathroom is very old and small.

Plussat: We loved the pool area and the good location.

Plussat: The property was gorgeous and the pool was wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike about the property. But I am upset with Sheraton grand rio because they didn’t handle a situation properly. My husband had money in his pants pocket and it was a zipped pocket. The pants were folded neatly on the nightstand. We discovered that $50 usd was taken from his money in his zipped pocket. When he realized I told him to look everywhere and we both did. Once we confirmed it was truly not there I called the front desk and spoke with the manager on duty that night. She came to my room and looked as well. She said her and head of security will investigate and interview the housekeeping in the morning. ( since the morning housekeeping are the only ones who entered) now the morning comes I get no answer or call. I decided to go down, there was a new manager and she said they are still investigating and keep in mind today is my check out Day now which they extended the time so this can get resolved. So I go about my last day into town and come back around afternoon. I go to my room pack n take a nap. I wake up at 4pm and check out is 6pm. They have never called. I called and by this time there is a new manager there and now he tells me they interviewed the housekeeping and they said they didn’t take anything they have been there for years and nothing like this has ever happened so I need to go to the police station and make a report. At this point I am upset I’m due to leave at 6pm for airport and he is now telling me this. I go downstairs to talk face to face. He reiterates what he said over the phone and I let him know I do not want to go to the police precinct can’t they come here and he said yes I can call them. I let him know I travel very often and showed him my passport and I don’t know if it the because of the way we look why we are being treated as such (we are young black couple). He assured me we don’t look anyway and that’s not the case.

Plussat: Great location. A small semi secluded beach, beautiful views, excellent food and service. Close to the action but just far enough away.

Plussat: Location is excellent, so it is staff attention and the meal service.

Plussat: Nicest location in Rio. Affordable price with breakfast included. Rooms are modern look and feel, waterfall shower is a plus.

Miinukset: No swimming pool, but the hotel is 200 meters from Ipanema beach, not the end of the world.

Plussat: Nice and clean hotel with good breakfast. Beach towels, chair and umbrella is a great bonus.

Plussat: Best breakfast ever! Very healthy and yummy: fresh tropical fruits, good cheeses, juices including mango passionfruit. Try the coconut creme and the avocado yogurt cream. Very conveniently located right at Ipanema beach. About 20 minutes walking to Cocacabana. Note not all the taxi drivers know where Ipanema Inn is, just tell them Sofitel and walk to the back of the block.

Miinukset: Can't think of any honestly.

Plussat: The location is great- only a few metres from Ipanema beach and surrounded by nice restaurants and cafes. The breakfast was very good and the restaurant which is within the hotel is excellent. Very friendly staff and thoughtful touches like beach towels and tour options.

Miinukset: The room was quite small for the price however with the location you can’t complain

Plussat: The attention and care given by the employees.

Plussat: Super location, half a block to Ipanema beach and half a block to the metro, near a lot of shopping, in a very safe location. The price was good for the location and the room decor is streamlined, spartan but much nicer than a lot of the tacky stuff you see in other local hotels of the same category. All the staff was amazing, helpful, friendly. They immediately changed us to a new room when we had issues in the first one.

Miinukset: The first room we had smelled very strongly of mold and there was visible mold in the bathroom; the other two rooms we saw didn't have this issue. The floors felt dusty under bare feet and they didn't vacuum under the beds. Electrical needs upkeep: the electric outlet in the bathroom fell out and burned my appliance (they didn't offer to replace); another outlet had one of the prongs blocked; more generally the outlets are all very narrow and none of our plugs fit (they fit alright in all the other places we tried them in Brazil). Sound proofing is limited and we had a hard time sleeping when there were neighbors. We could hear the kids, the TV, and the parties. There was also quite a bit of construction noise from the hotel next door (typical of Brazilian cities in the winter, when they do all the repairs to prep for the season). The staff at breakfast was very friendly but also very stressful as they kept taking away our plates and cups before when we still had food or coffee in them. Not a chill way to start a vacation day! Be aware that, while comfy, the beds are narrow and there are no facilities (gym, pool) in the hotel and no space to stretch or workout in the rooms. That's what the beach is for!!

Plussat: Perfect location- that was the best thing about the hotel. Service was really good in some areas but inconsistent overall- the lady who managed breakfast was really friendly and helpful, and the room cleaning was great.

Miinukset: Room itself was not very nice- very basic and not very comfortable.

Plussat: Location was absolutely perfect, a few steps from the beach and restaurants. Very safe area as well. The Breakfast was great, a nice buffet and options to order. The staff was very friendly. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the hotel was landing chairs, umbrellas and towels to go to the beach.

Miinukset: Nothing as this was overall a very good price/quality ratio. However, be aware rooms are very simple, this is not a luxurious hotel, but it's still very lovely and it offers a great deal.

Plussat: Friendly and considerate staff. Great quality / tasteful breakfast.

Plussat: One block from the beach, super trendy and boutique hotel. Highly recommend. The staff are super helpful and go above and beyond to make your stay special. The beach equipment is great, too.

Miinukset: The bathroom is nothing special and the shower could be better but nothing major.

Plussat: The staff is really friendly and welcoming! The location of the hostal is so perfect, like one block to the beach. The room are correct and the wifi is working well. The pizza and the caipi are really good. I recommend this hostal for your journey in Rio de Janeiro

Plussat: great location, really nice staff, the parties were hectic, and a really cool bartender with nice drink prices.

Miinukset: they have triple bunk beds in one room, which doesn't seems comfortable....

Plussat: The rooms are simple, but they have all we need, and they are quite well isolated. The lockers are big enough to put all our belongings. The hostel is really well located, two minutes away from the beach. The staff is really helpful and dedicated, special thanks to Mathilde who gave me a lot of useful tips about the city and safety. I couldn't thank her enough :)

Miinukset: No kitchen, no place to put clothes to dry, the lounge area is quite small, no happy hour (which make difficult to meet new people and create a sense of belonging to the place

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Compared to the Misti in Copacabana, this is a palace. It is newer. The room was for 8 people and had private bathroom. It was clean. The air conditioner is turned on during the night only, so during the day the room is really hot. There is no fan to turn on and the windows do not open widely. The staff was ok. Not as friendly and lively as in the other Misti. The hostels have the same nightly activities. The tours are more expensive in this Misti. The location is fantastic, only one block away from the beach and another block away from a metro station. The only thing is that there are no supermarkets close by, so you have to buy expensive water bottles (4 reales compared to 1.69 in the supermarket). I would stay again in this one.

Plussat: The location is great, safe área. Friendly staff. The room was fine. Breakfast not incuided, but good price and tasty.

Plussat: Very clean everywhere, cleaners there all day. Really helpful and friendly staff with fantastic english, Roderigo sorted out an earlier than scheduled transfer to Ilha Grande for us when our morning plans fell through and also introduced us to other Irish staying in the hostel , really cool guy. Washington always friendly and helpful every day, made us feel really welcome at check in. Key card locks on all rooms. Large under bed storage lockers that can easily fit large rucksack. Happy hour 7-7.30 in bar. Good wifi. Go hiking with Alice! Amazing location to Ipanema beach. Originally had 4 nights booked and stayed for an extra 2.

Miinukset: Breakfast isn't included and is way over priced to have there. 20BRL for a banana, 2 slices of sweet bread and a small type omlete - juice, coffee and water there also. We were in an 8 bed mixed dorm and water on the floor of the bathroom the whole 6 night stay, leaking from toilet but cleaners just kept wrapping a soaked towel around it every day which didn't help. You can imagine with 8 people sharing the bathroom how the floor was between cleaners visits. Soap and hand towel ran out on second day and not replaced. Pay 10BRL to rent a towel. Aircon 9-9 but no control over it, some nights too cold with only light sheet on bed. Some days cleaners only made bottom bunks, some days none atal, not really sure why? Asked multiple guys at reception about doing a hike with a group from the hostel as had read on reviews and everytime was told they'd check if one was going and when asked again wasnt really given an answer but they said they'd tell us how to get there ourselves, in the end we got the contact info off a guy in our room that had done one with the volunteer already and we went with her. Her name is Alice and works as a volunteer through the hostel in Ipanema and Copacabana, we did the two brothers mountain hike with a group with her and shes fantastic. Definitely ask for her details there.

Plussat: The location is my favourite in Rio. Also, having the bathroom inside the room was really nice!

Miinukset: They didn´t have blankets to provide us the first night. The employee that was working the night shift was super helpfull and gave us some extra sheets, but stil, we were a bit cold for the night. They provided us blankets the very next day though. Asside from that, it was a very pleasent stay.

Plussat: It is close to Ipanema beach and the metro to bring you to the centre.

Miinukset: There isn’t a great atmosphere because there’s no communal area to meet people staying there.

Plussat: It’s a nice hostel, big, modern and generally clean, although they forgot to clean the room a couple of times....even when asked they still didn’t clean it until next day, bin in bathroom was overflowing. I think they have stuff going on in the evenings - pizza night/burger night etc were written on the board but in my 10 days there no one ever said anything to me about what they entailed. (Pizza and burgers I’d imagine - saw people eating pizza once but no idea what the deal was) There was no kitchen facilities - the el mistis in Copacabana have a kitchen. There is a bar, bar man is super friendly as are the rest of the staff. They do excursions but they’re not really advertised, I went to Pedra de Gávea for the day on a hike which was amazing but I only knew because another guy in the room told me about it, they need to put these things on a board on the front desk or something - we were the only 2 from our hostel, no one else I spoke to knew about it. Fantastic location one block from Ipanema beach. Beds comfortable, big safe metal drawers for storage under bed.

Miinukset: I can’t believe for such a big hostel there is no filtered water supply to use, I asked a couple of times and they filled my bottle in the kitchen, the rest of the time I drank out the bathroom tap (not ideal) or bought bottles downstairs ($5r......$2r in the supermarket down the road) Drinks are expensive for a hostel whether water or alcohol, for some reason they only had little cans of Amstel (same price as a big can from one of the drinks stands in the street) or big bottles of Heineken/bud - no big cans/bottles of Brazilian beer. Very loud if you get a street facing room and have the windows open, hours that the aircon works are restricted - tight. They put the price up by about $25r a night because of Copa America. It was cheaper to extend stay through booking with genius discount than at the reception. I did seem a bit like it was all about he Benjamin’s.

Plussat: The only positive things are the location and that the staff are friendly. Nice outside area/bar (although without a social atmosphere)

Miinukset: 4 bed dorm is too small. It's not a really clean place. Matresses are dirty and provided sheets look a bit shabby. Beds are rosty. There is not always hot water. They charged me for a drink I never took. There are better hostels in Rio, also taking into account the price was relatively high (probably due to the copa america).

Plussat: In general we are satisfied with our stay, we had a spacious clean room with an awesome view , the pool was clean and heated, gret view as well.

Miinukset: It was all nice in general, except for things like coffee price - same coffee , same time of the day and in the same restaurant had different prices , or like someone stole our flip flops near the pool and the pool manager promised they would check the cameras and they never did, information seems to circulate difficulty between the employees of the hotel and we had to explain the same thing many times to different people with no result.

Plussat: Location was second to none

Plussat: Beach, pool, room, food

Plussat: Great pool at roof top, beach front, close to every attraction the city have to offer.

Plussat: The location is amazing with just 10m of a local street between the hotel and the beach. In 100m is possible to find restaurants and markets.

Plussat: A spacious suite with a beautiful view of the beach.

Miinukset: There is a thief hiding in the ATM. The rate given in the machine is approximately 25% less than bank rates. Recommend to stay away from the ATM or withdraw only very small amounts of cash.

Plussat: Perfect Staffing. Everything was perfect from the check in to the check out!!

Plussat: The location and the view from the swimming pool are the best advantages of the hôtel. The staff is really helpful.

Miinukset: Maybe the breakfast could be improved with more choices but honestly it's not bad for the price.

Plussat: The pool view is just amazing. The breakfast was varied and good.

Miinukset: It's definitely not a 4 star hotel. The furniture had scratches and the rooms were rather empty. You rather pay for the views, the area and the pool. The check-in and check-out took a little longer than usual.

Plussat: Right on the beach

Miinukset: Rooms were noisy, on s busy street with thin walls. Bathroom was terrible, felt old and unkept. Bed was uncomfortable. I am used to western standards, but for the rate in Brazil, it's a very expensive two-three star hotel. Food in the restaurant is horrible.

Plussat: The breakfast was perfect, the location was heaven (right on the beach with ocean views from the room) the staff were friendly and helpful and made check in/out a breeze

Miinukset: Nothing, I just wish my stay was longer so I could enjoy the location for longer. Thank you Praia, we’ll be back!

Plussat: Fantastic hotel for those seeking a stylish stay just a few meters off the beach. We loved the restaurant on the ground level. Very new and trendy building. Roof top looking out to Christ the Redeemer and Lago with beautiful mountain views.

Plussat: Centrally located, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. There was a bit of noise from the streets in the morning but overall we enjoyed our stay here. We booked the same hotel again after our return from Iguazu falls and they kindly kept our luggage. The staff were very friendly and the manager allowed us a late check out which was very helpful as we had a night flight and wanted to go to the beach in the morning. The breakfast served was very good with a good variety although the coffee was standard.

Plussat: Good Location

Miinukset: The air con did not work... even after asking to fix it the problem was not resolved. The room was not as clean

Plussat: The location

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Staff on reception were not friendly or helpful WiFi didn’t work I booked a deluxe room and was given a family room. Just for me. Absolutely pointless. Nothing deluxe about my room or the service.

Plussat: Good beds

Miinukset: Air conditioning subpar, breakfast quite simple compared with the competitors in the same and lower price level.

Plussat: Staff was nice, breakfast good, and location can’t be beat.

Miinukset: Restaurant/Bar adjacent to hotel was extremely loud and noisy on the weekends until the wee hours. Even on the higher floors, it was hard to sleep or drown out the noise. Room was okay but mold in shower.

Plussat: Hotel was very clean, restaurant/bar was delicious with an excellent free breakfast, staff were very friendly and helpful, location was perfect with only a 5 minute walk to the beach, and free beach towels and beach chairs down at the front desk. Overall a very nice hotel.

Miinukset: The hotel claimed to have wifi, there was a wifi network but it took about an hour to get on the network and the speed was worse than dial up. In reality there was no wifi available. It doesn't work in the rooms or in the lobby and this was very disappointing because they advertise that they have wifi.

Plussat: Clean, close to the beach, great roof deck, umbrellas and chairs for the beach, what more do you need?

Plussat: location

Miinukset: no choice of healthy food, no yoghurt or cereals. bad coffee quality, very croweded area for a breakfast. Unprofessional and unfriendly reception staff (compared to US, Europe, Asia - and other locations in Brazil).
