I have been coming and going to Rio for 5 years and stayed here for two days March 20-22nd to pass a gap in a couple of apartment rentals. The view from the veranda on the top floor truely is spectacular and arguably the best in Rio. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The hotel when new might have been... More

Traveling regularly to Rio de Janeiro, I warmly recommend Rio 180 Hotel where I've been staying 2 weeks in March 2012. Actually, Rio180 is much more than a hotel : it is a real carioca house and lifestyle. Appreciate the paved road climbing up the artistic Santa Teresa hill, take time hanging around and chatting on a bench in the... More

Firstly, we loved the location, set in gorgeous Santa Teresa. The view from the hotel was breathtaking, and the neighborhood is warm and unique. Do note the hotel is roughly five minutes by car from the 'centre' of town, and the iconic tram is not expected to be running again until 2014, so don't expect easy access to any restaurants... More

It was definitely not a typical hotel eperience, but for our family it was the most magical hotel we've ever stayed in. It is beautiful in a way that no chain hotel is able to be. The staff is like a friendly family, making you feel at home, greeting you with the warmest smiles and always doing their best to... More

This hotel had damp sheets and I found what appeared to be mouse/bird droppings on the sheets the morning after I had slept in them. There was only one member of staff to be seen who was very sweet, young and tried very hard but one person cannot provide a 4 star service. More

This hotel markets itself as an upscale boutique hotel. Given its isolated location (which we were aware of when we booked and was actually part of the appeal) and room rates (we booked one of the mid-range rooms and were set to pay EUR 220 a night), we were expecting something modern, clean and a bit "special". I started to... More

I just spent 1 night in Rio 180, after carefully comparing with other beach-based hotels. Rio 180 has of course a great view, but most of all it has this small X-factor that make you feel like home. There are only 8 rooms so the staff is very careful and available. The hotel is indeed away from beaches (15min taxi)... More

A lovely hotel with beautiful views of Guanabara Bay. The girl on reception was very friendly and helpful alway answering my questions. I would definitely come back. More

I`ve been in the hotel for a weekend with a friend. The room is huge and comfortable, the views are wonderful from every place in the hotel. The staff are very friendly and always ready to help. We will surely come back soon. More
