Good but not great

Santa Teresa is a wonderful location in the hills above the cliche tourist haunts of Copacabama or Ipenema and the hotel itself is an elegant, even quaint, late nineteenth century coffee-grower's farmhouse. It was refurbished only a few years ago but is looking worn - or to put it politely, shabby chic. A couple of irritations not least illumination - the rooms are so dark you can't read in them and the stairs are so dark you could fall down them - and it's unacceptable that they don't provide bottled water in the rooms each day even though they warn the tap water is not suitable for drinking. Even so, it's better than the usual hotel chains and on balance I'd just about recommend it.

Christmas in Rio

We stayed in hotel Santa Teresa over Christmas period 2015 and loved it. We would definitely recommend it as the place to stay in Rio. Overall the staff were very helpful and would call out the two female receptionists who worked in the evening who were very friendly and helpful.

A little gem with some quirks

I booked the Santa Teresa hotel for two nights before heading to Copacabana for the rest of my stay in Rio. I wanted some place where I could relax and chill out, and the hotel's perfect for that. There's not much to do in the Santa Teresa area - a couple of sites to see, and a fantastic restaurant called Aprazivel, but apart from that, there's not much going on, and it's quite a way into the city (60 Brazilian Real with the hotel's driver to Copacabana). So two nights here suited me perfectly. The staff at check-in were lovely and really helpful. My room was absolutely spotless, and really nicely decorated. The view from the pool is pretty spectacular, and the bar has been voted one of the most romantic, although travelling alone I can't testify to that :) The quirks? Well the wifi is really, really patchy. It struggled to cope with me uploading a photo (so I gave up). But not a big deal really. Also you do notice the security presence at the hotel - which I can totally appreciate as the area does border some favelas, but a friendly 'ola' didn't really result in any answer. I didn't eat in the hotel, so can't comment on that. In short, I enjoyed my stay in Hotel Santa Teresa, and would recommend it - there's a great cafe called Cafe Dos Altos two minutes walk away which does a buffet breakfast on weekends and has an English menu. Some people say the street the hotel's on is incredibly steep, but I didn't find it that bad at all!

last night in Rio ( this time anyway!)

We stayed only one night which was the last night of our holiday. We had a super room with great views, bed linen and shower room. The late supper included a signature sweet, ' Lollipops' recommended to all! The breakfast was excellent and so were the staff. The little touches made it, a room upgrade, a present, delicious chocolates plus the bed was made too even when we were leaving to fly home that evening. A great note on which to leave Rio!

Hotel santa teresa

Beautiful hotel, location, although fantastic is slightly unsafe to walk around at night. Hotel breakfast is very average and extremely expensive, should be included in price of room, as most good hotels in Rio provide. Having stayed in Relais and Chateaux hotels before, this does not really meet standards of others

Die Lage des Hotels ist super gut und Zentral. Nicht nur die Altstadt von Santa Teresa ist hervorragend fast schon zu Fuß gut zu besichtigen, alle anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Zuckerhut, Corcovado und die Strände sind zum Greifen nah. Das Personal im Hotel hat eine 1 verdient was Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft anbelangt!

Superbe hôtel pour un autre Rio

Au cœur d'un quartier en hauteur, très différent des plages, plus relaxant. Très joli bâtiment ancien restauré avec goût, jolies vues et superbe piscine. Restaurant très bien aussi ainsi que le bar. Personnel charmant et compétant. Un bémol sur le spa car toutes les masseuses ne se valent pas et certaines peuvent même faire mal au dos...

Voyage Rio en amoureux

Très bel hotel dans un quartier sympa, mais excentré (budget taxi à prévoir). Chambre agréable et très belle piscine. Un be-mol sur les services de l hôtel : problème de climatisation non résolu, manque adaptateur sèche cheveux, pas de bouteille d eau, personnel non pro-proactif, le rapport qualité/prix n est pas là pour le petit déjeuner (pas d omelette proposée ...)

Beautiful hotel in a peaceful setting

Nathalie from the front desk was very nice, helpful and service oriented. The food is below average, it must be a lot better for this kind of hotel.
