Oasis in Santa Teresa
Quinta Azul is a great alternative to the big hotels in Copacabana and Ipanema. It's quaint and quiet. The staff at the pousada is really exceptional and each of them were consistently super friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Elena, who is just amazing. My only suggestion is that the water in the showers needs to be warmer.

Expedia did not live up to the contract
We are not happy with our hotel stay. We booked five premium double rooms and were given only three premium rooms and two other rooms, one of which did not even have enough room to put the suitcase on the floor. Not happy - we have been overcharged for two rooms and should be reimbursed.
Verified Expedia guest review

2/10 Poor

dishonest staff
Had booked for 3 nights. Access to hotel is not easy.. Its uphill and have to take cab from metro to get to the hotel. At time of check in requested if I can cancel one night - the last night - and the guy - Lewis at reception agreed. After I made alternate arrangements at a different hotel for the 3rd night, next day Lewis tells me he cannot cancel and I should pay 100% for the 3rd night. After I reminded him that only after his confirmation, I made alternate bookings he said I should pay 10% fee because expedia charged him. That night I called expedia and expedia confirmed they were not charging any fee. After 2 days when I was checking out, he was not at reception and I told the lady at reception that I have to 10% per Lewis for 3rd night because exedia was charging. She confirmed expedia was not charging and I could check out without paying anything. After 2 days of check out I see Lewis charged me 100% for the thrid night on my creditcard. A piece of advise, if you are a tourist stay in copacabana/leblon/ipanema area which is a upscale neighbourhood and feel good for tourist. Santa Teresa is a rundown neighbourhood and good to visit for 2-3 hours but dont take a hotel here.

6/10 Good

Service slow and neighbourhood rather dodgy.
Nice breakfast and clean room. Unfortunately we had some issues with the room (shower) and our requests/instructions for a taxi were either ignored or left very late causing us some anxiety on departure. I was forced to carry our luggage up most of the stairs because the porter was elsewhere to meet the taxi (lots of stairs when you are staying in the basement). Some great views, but don't wander far from the hotel at night as it can get dangerous. Sadly, I would not recommend the hotel. Staff were not particularly friendly and better options in Copacabana or Ipanema, or even Niteroi, across Guanabara Bay.

hotel to stay in rio.
i had scary staff communications via email regarding pickup dangers and prices. there were screaming and shouting arguments every night next door, and loud dog barkings well into the night. and attempts to use fear to extort extra charges for unwanted expensive services my taxi driver to the airport given the wrong drop off instructions by the hotel and i was taken to the wrong airport even though both parties saw my ticket. i did not like it there and kept myself very low key as i felt unsafe. i will never voluntarily go to rio again or ever praise it. on the other hand the kitchen staff at the hotel were lovely and made the most beautiful food. and the room itself although below ground level with poor ventilation and no view at all was aesthetically lovely and comfortable - although i found a hyperdermic needle case discarded on the luggage wrack, so i dont think the cleaner was any good, and the hot water was too cold for a european person. there was no garden and no common room view except onto the depressed backyards and latrines of the neighbours. why did the Guardian give it such a good rating?

Lovely Bed and Breakfast
We stayed in Rio after a cruise. We found the Bed and Breakfast a distance from downtown, that was fine with us. The staff was wonderful, Elizabeth, Erica and Jackeline. Since our flight out did not leave until midnight, they allowed us to stay until 8PM at no extra cost. The breakfast was wonderful, lots to choose from. The rooms were nice and clean but, with lots of stairs. no elevator. The deck area was great. Lots of large tropical trees. Squirel monkeys ran on the branches.A great place to relax after a tour of busy Rio.

Great pousada.
Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2014 (standard room0. Great 'guest house' style hotel. Clean rooms with good A/C, modern bath, reliable internet, breakfast included, etc. Very friendly, helpful (& English-speaking) staff. Safe/secure. This is not a big full-service hotel (nor is it trying to be), so if you're looking for room service, pool and similar high-end amenities look elsewhere. It's a smaller, quaint place with a homey feel, but had everything I needed. The common area is open (covered but outdoors, i.e., no A/C) and has a nice view of the back neighborhood. Santa Theresa is quiet (relative to Copa/Ipanema/Leblon), but has great character; bars & good restaurants around the corner. 15 min walk to subway (Gloria), R$40 & 20 min taxi to/from Ipanema (non-rush), R$20 & 10min to SDU airport, R$52 and 30min to GIG airport (non-rush). Would definitely stay here again.

Charming hostel in the most scenic part of Rio
Gorgeous patio overlooking rooftops of Santa Teresa neighborhood. Windy streets, beautiful artisan galleries, more than a few good restaurants, and the most helpful hotel staff it has ever been our good fortune to meet. A special 'shout out' to Elizabeth from reception who helped us with EVERYTHING!

Good place for short-term stay.
If you're looking for a base for a long Rio stay, you probably should stay down on a beach. But for a relaxing, short stay in Rio, this small hotel up on the hill is an excellent choice.

Surprising treat..will certainly stay again
I really enjoyed everything about my stay. The staff was great, rooms were very warm, friendly, nice and clean, Santa Teraza is an amazing area with lot's to do in walking distance and different than other parts of Rio. Looking for a new experience and a great place to stay..this is it.

Wonderful gem in an old neighborhood!
We had such a nice stay here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful and it was very pleasant to sit on the patio and eat. We could walk down to the center of town but there were also taxis if we preferred! I would stay here again in a heart beat!!

Wonderful Romantic Honeymoon Hideaway
What a lovely hotel. Private, intimate, very well decorated, all new, very well looked after. A very warm and welcoming and cozy environment. Wonderful breakfast in the mornings. We arrived late and checked out late and the hotel was extremely acomodating. The neighborhood is picturesque, felt safe, and quiet but with a good night life nearby. The only drawback is the walk down a hill to the metro. It is fine on the way but it is difficult walking back up the hill after a long day out in Rio. We were only there for two days which was great. Not sure if it would be as suitable for a week or two weeks.

Fun, friendly, interesting place to stay in Rio
I highly recommend the Quinta Azul and look forward to returning someday. The staff have big smiles and are very helpful. Breakfast is ample and delicious. The property holds on to the hillside and has some nice views from the common areas. My room was tastefully decorated, pretty large, and had excellent A/C. The bed was new and very comfortable. The WiFi worked from my room, although they say it only reaches the common areas. My only complaint was that the hot water was not very hot--but that's ok in Rio's warm climate. Overall, a really nice stay, and it's fun to stay in artsy, historic Santa Teresa. It's easy to walk down the hill to the Metro Station or even Centro. And it's possible to walk up the hill too, through a nice neighborhood that feels very safe. It takes 15 minutes from Gloria Metro station, only 10 minutes of which are uphill. You'll get a good workout, but at least it doesn't last too long. Go up Rua Benjamin Constant from the Metro, make the first left and then a quick right. When you see a steep staircase to the left, go up it, and you are almost there. At the top of the staircase, go a little further uphill and after the Santa Teresa sign make a right on the street with the train tracks. The hotel is just a few doors down.

Unique, tranquil, friendly base in Rio
A welcoming, chilled-out place where the staff are warm and helpful. Sits on a picturesque street with bars and restaurants and a short walk (if you don't mind steep hills) to the Gloria metro and more lively Lapa. A good place to just sit, read, relax and drink beer from the small bar on the terrace. Staff more than happy to open wine we bought from the local shop or feed the monkeys, for our pleasure, with bits of leftover banana from the good breakfast. Rooms simple but clean, cool and comfortable, with a cheap mini-bar. It's a quiet and peaceful retreat from the chaos of Rio, yet central and within half-an-hour from Ipanema beach. No generic hotel, it's a unique experience.

Alternative Rio experience
An enjoyable stay at a very personable friendly venue. I had room 2, which was comfortable and clean. Unfortunately just outside the range of the wifi available in the lobby. Enjoyable breakfast, which maybe visited by the local monkeys. Santa Teresaa is a very nice area, but I was given several warnings not to venture out of the well populated areas. So be careful.
