Rio de Janeiro hotels in Laranjeiras

Pros: Luis was wonderful, we had a late flight on the day we left. He allowed us to use the room til 6pm at no extra charge. We were able to shower, pack and freshen up before we left. This was a huge bonus for our long flight home. He took my family up to a view point in his vehicle and gave us a lot of advice on local attractions. Pool was fantastic as was breakfast. Security also good. Amazing old home, with many (500+) cable tv movies in English. My kid's loved being able to watch a movie after a long day of sightseeing.

Cons: Nothing...it was a little noisy one night, but it was a saturday and there was a celebration at the neighbours. Not a problem.

Pros: Luiz is amazing host

Cons: The location was a bit triki to get there

Pros: The hospitality of Luiz and Leila. They gave us a warm welcome from the moment we arrived. Luiz gives for a tour trough Rio to have a first view of the city, what was very nice. And he also recommands you the things you can do at your holiday. The hotel is located in a very safe area. It has a nice swimming pool with a good view on the mountains. It's also very close to every attraction you want to visit.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was great.

Pros: Luiz and Leila were really helpful and friendly. We got a lot of information and tips for spending time in Rio.

Pros: The scenery

Cons: The bathroom

Pros: Luis is a fantastic host! He accommodated our request for an early check in and arranged a shuttle to and from the airport. He also went through a map of Rio when we got there and took us to a viewpoint to show us where everything is. He makes you feel right at home! The whole property is great and makes you feel super relaxed away from a very busy city.

Pros: Louis is a great host, he goes above and beyond what is expected. He is very very helpful and on hand without being intrusive. He helped to book tickets for us, took us for a drive around the area...essential to get ones bearings. Also gave us a lift to a local restaurant one night after we'd asked for him to call us a taxi. Room was very spacious with a large comfortable bed...although it did feel dated and if i am being truly honest i think using the word "boutique" is not accurate Secure entry system Breakfast was very tasty, they even fried us some eggs to add to the generous cold selection on offer

Cons: Sadly...and sorry Louis but the noise....single glazed windows, which in our room looked out on a cobbled street with a stream of cars passing by. Also when we arrived we had planes passing directly overhead this was 9pm until 11.30pm. Louis said this was due to the wind direction..not the best start for two tired travellers needing to catch up on their sleep...especially when i booked the hotel on the basis of its name "Nature paradise". Thankfully we never heard planes at night after this first night! As were out all day, we cannot comment on the daily flight path but on our last morning we recorded a plane every 15 minutes going over. In conclusion, if you like your sleep & are sensitive to noise this needs consideration. Also Ikea thin curtains, so when the sun comes up (5am in our case) you are also up! No hotel signage outside so we had issues with some drivers, Louis does provide detailed instructions for taxis but they still seemed to struggle! Whilst i love a clean room, & consider myself a neat traveller...every day the cleaner placed all our items in draws, cupboards etc...made us feel a little unwelcome and we nearly left something behind hadn't it been for doing a final room sweep!

Pros: This hotel was another peak of my trip to Rio... So we decided to stay one more night...The view from the balcony and from the breakfast terrace is amazing! You can see the Pao de Acucar and Christ the Redeemer... I think its view beats all the 5* hotels in Rio de Janeiro...The breakfast is full of fruits, some bread and you can also order eggs...The pool was nice and the hotel in overall is clean and really cute. The hotel staff was really friendly and even though the room I wanted was reserved, they finally managed to give it to us so we stayed to the room we wanted! tip: get a room with balcony

Pros: The staff, (the morning receptionist & afternoon) the sweetest girls ever. They were so welcoming and helpful. One of the receptionist even cooked for me because everything was closed sundays after 4 pm. The view is beyond beautiful. The rooms are clean and look exactly like the pictures this is worth so much more than it’s cost!! 10 stars

Cons: The location is a little isolated from the Santa Theresa town, I stood over the weekend and sundays everything is closed, so I had to starve because there was no cook at the villa and due to the isolated location didn’t really want to travel too far for food.

Pros: The view, the breakfast and dinner when the restaurant was open. Swimming pool was nice. Caroline was so lovely.

Cons: I paid £600 for 4 days. Not happy at all. The location, so out of the way of Rio, no shops around at all. Nothing. It was not stated on booking. Yes there was a fridge with some water, beer etc but no prices stated. We thought complimentary. No. When we arrived we were offered no drink, water or anything. After a long trip. To welcome us. The French receptionist was very unhelpful, dismissive quite rude and gave us no information about anything, buses, Uber’s or how to get around. We found this out from another guest. Basically 10-15 minutes on the bus to get anywhere near. Or Uber, but WiFi wasn’t good. Thankfully my friend talks Portuguese. The room was nothing like the photos, it was dirty, the sheets smelt awful, the hot tub was rusty and so were there mirrors. There was no where to put clothes. The hot water didn’t work well for 4 days and we kept asking how to fix it. The air conditioning was awful, it faced to the bath, not to the room and was leaking badly for 3 days. There were a few toiletries but so small and you didn’t know what they were. The room was made up 2 days out of 4 and they only made the bed. We didn’t get fresh towels, they were still wet from the previous day. When I’m complained the first time about air conditioning, room etc, the French receptionist was so rude to me. Basically dismissed me. The whole place needs upgraded and refreshed. It could be as wonderful as the photos show. Not worth the money. I realise it was over NY but even then, I expected more and to be treated as a valued guest, not a burden.

Pros: Incredible view

Cons: They don’t have cream cheese and expresso at the breakfast

Pros: View and spa

Cons: Terrace Door can t lock Mouldy lamp Open power socket missed very dangerous and no luxury for any room especially for a master room Curtains dirty Tape on the ceiling Ceilings lights oxidate and dirty in the bathroom Bathroom Shelfs dirty with dasty

Pros: The hotel has a great view and everything is pretty and intimate, exactly what you need to relax

Cons: A bathroom mat and a couple of face towels would make everything easier.

Pros: Amazing staff, beautiful view, large swimming pool, tasty breakfast, enormous bathtub

Cons: Location is not really satisfying. It is far away both from any beach and from the centre.

Pros: Breakfest is beutiful.Views from teracce is amazing!!!
