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

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

Excellent staff but the room was a little tired. It's a little out of the way to be walking back to in the dark too. More
