We stayed there during Carnival 2012 and it was overpriced just like all other Rio hotels at that time. The room was okay, and the employees were helpful and nice. Breakfast is simple and delivered every morning to the room. The location is not so bad, 15 minutes walk to Copacabana beach and the area is safe. It is also... More

We ended up without reservation and fortunately there was still room. Although quite a walk from the beach, this hotel in Copacabana lies in a very quiet family neighbourhood. The room was spacious and clean, the hotel staff friendly and helpful. After having checked out several hotels in the area, this was by far the best value for money (although... More

I checked into the hotel santa clara yesterday and was greeted very kindly by the reception of the hotel. He offered us many tour options while we were settling the payment. Our room was on the first floor but very clean and cute. The bathroom is small but clean and shower pressure was amazing. We have a working air conditioner... More

The hotel is well located and perfect if you are in Rio for business and don't want to keep seeing the same suits of your co-conference visitors everyday. As an extra the hotel makes it possible to personalize your wake up calls and the sound of that voice in the morning just gives you back the joy and energy you... More

Guesthouse style format. The place is antiquated, and unfortunately not in a charming way. A dump actually. Breakfast, such as it was, served in the room. Old, noisy air conditioner. Rock hard bed and pillow. If you're looking for alternative to in front-of-the-beach, bland chain hotel this is it all right. If you select this hotel because you are looking... More

Having been there in 2007 (same period of the year) and having found back then that the location is quiet and safe I booked back in October for a stay on the eve of the Carnival. Room type and prices were agreed in writing in emails but I ended up paying significantly more, arguing on arrival to get a front... More

This hotel is perfectly located in a quiet part of the city, but within walking distance of Copacabana beach and lots of shops, restaurants and attractions. The staff are great, the food was great (particularly breakfast), the location is great, and the hotel is beautiful. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone! More

As we would arrive late , after flying from Europe to Brasil, we made a reservation. The day before our holiday i had a last e-mail contact telling what time the plane would land, i told them we'd probably be there at 19.00 / 19.30 or a bit later, depending on the flight. When we arrived at 19.45 the only... More

I was looking for a friendly, comfortable and relatively inexpensive lodging in Rio. Based on the reviews, this seemed like a great place for economy travellers. I decided to stay at this place for the first 2 days of my week-long stay in Rio. And, I'm glad I decided to do so (only for 2 days). The owner is nice... More
