Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is beautiful. There is an older section that has great character and architecture. This is where we stayed. It was a very great experience. There is also a more modern part of the property with all the modern conveniences. Once inside the facility it is very clean, safe, and inviting. However, the area of the city is less desirable. Like most cities, there are areas less clean and less safe. This is the area of the city that this hotel is in. Plenty of trash and unsavory smells in the area around the hotel. If you are a little adventurous and cautious this is a wonderful hotel to stay in. Again, the hotel and staff met or exceeded everything we could want for our trip to Rio.

This is a beautiful luxury hotel, renovated from an old historic building, great location in downtown, which also means that you are near the great music bars in Rio, but also the surroundings could get tricky at night. The breakfast and swimming pool were great. Overall, a fantastic option if you want to stay in the Lapa area.

To be fair the location isn’t the best Rio de Janiero can offer but if you seek a clean hotel with an amazing pool area at lower cost than this hotel will appeal.

The staff are very friendly & attentive. I would like to make a special mention to Sasha on reception who booked a tour for me which took a while due to coomunications issues with the tour operator, not Sasha. I think we focus too much on leaky showers etc & not enough on the hotel staff who really go out of their way to make their guests feel valued.

Amazing AC
This hotel is very well located in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Upon arrival it was very hot outside, and I was delighted that the room came with fantastic AC to immediately cool down. The WiFi was fine, as was the restaurant. With the canaval happening, this hotel was a nice place to get away from the chaos

Me and my girlfriend spent the new years eve in Rio and we arrived a bit early to the hotel not aware we were ahead 3 hours from the UK. They took care of our bags while the room was being prepared. We have been provided with a great service from check in to check out!! Vladmir and Guilherme took care of us in the nicest possible way and and we loved the style of the hotel, the staff and the pool bar. The breakfast is nothing short of extraordinary with a great variety for every taste and lots of staff taking care of the room. Next time I am in Rio I will be back to Vila Galé! Also is very close to the great Lapa nightlife which is amazing and vibrant! Obrigado a todos. David e Liliana

It’s a very nice hotel. The staff were very friendly, nice and helpful. We received the best service in the hotel from check in, check out, upload suitcases to Uber, at their restaurant, etc. The shower was excellent. The hot water came on instantaneously, almost as the Venetian hotel in LV. The price was right compared to the Hilton we just stayed before in rio.
