Rio de Janeiro hotel vicini a Convento de Santo Antônio

Punti positivi: I loved the swimming pool and large amount of pool loungers. I was in a great room in the old section of the hotel, which was amazing. The breakfasts are really good and there was even bubbly available.

Punti negativi: The location is not the best but it has improved from my previous trip a year ago. The bar was never open even over weekends

Punti positivi: The pool The kindness of the employees

Punti negativi: No windows or aération in the bathroom

Punti positivi: Hotel fatto per i brasiliani e non per europei o usa Colazione fatta per brasiliani Lugar hecho solo para brasileño

Punti negativi: La colazione e L attenzione al cliente che non ha un profilo internazionale

Punti positivi: Breakfast was fabulous! Room was well sized and nice. Pool was great and staff were friendly.

Punti negativi: This may have been only applicable during Rio Carnival but we were required to pay for the room in advance via Cielo (Brazilian banking company) or our booking would be cancelled. As someone who has experience internet fraud previously and was not familiar with cielo this made me feel very uncomfortable.

Punti positivi: The hotel experience is very nice, you have a nice pool to cool off, a great breakfast and generally it was everything that i expected.

Punti negativi: And the only downside was a moment with the staff, i mean we had a small issue with our reservation and it took a bit longer that needed to fix it. But totally forgivable !

Punti positivi: Clean, spacious rooms and good facilities

Punti negativi: Understaffed and slow level of service

Punti positivi: Struttura e servizi. Ottima colazione, bella piscina.

Punti negativi: Zona che molti definiscono "non tranquilla", anche se a noi non è sembrato.

Punti positivi: Courteous and kind staff. Beautiful and well maintained grounds and swimming pool, with relaxing music in the background. Beautiful and welcoming lobby. The female breakfast chef (the one who prepares tapioca pancakes and omelettes)

Punti negativi: Frontline Staff were polite and kind, however I was hoping that the hotel management team (catering and reception) would be more forthcoming, after I advised them that my holiday companion caught a tummy bug on his first day at the hotel, most probably caused by the liquid yoghurt displayed in jars, in the breakfast buffet. My friend was ill for 3 days, and had to stay in the hotel room all day the first 2 days. He became unwell with severe diarrhea soon after he had breakfast at the hotel. The first day, the room did not get cleaned (just the bathroom), although i had asked reception staff and the housekeepers to clean it. I am surprised that for a hotel of that standard, reception and catering senior staff did not take the matter more seriously. The language barrier was also problematic, as most staff only speak Portuguese. The furnishing and bathrooms need a makeover as it is getting quite old. The grounds and swimming pool are stunning and well maintained. However, the deckchairs need replacing, as again, they look quite old. The restaurant is spacious, very clean, well decorated and has wide bay windows leading to the patio and swimming pool. The hotel is well located, being in the heart of Lapa district, right by the aquaduct and a few minutes away from the old town and Selaron stairs. Being so close to Lapa hippie district, there is a sharp contrast between the opulence of the hotel and the blatant poverty, derelict and filthy local area. There are many homeless and deprived men and women in the neighbourhood, which can shock tourists who are not used to this or those who don't expect this kind of scenes right by their holiday place. I personally did not mind so much, as for me, mingling with the locals is also part of discovering a city/country. I would have given Vila Galé a 8/10 mark if they had dealt with my friend's experience more proactively. Because of our experience, I would only give it a 6/10 mark.

Punti positivi: Piscina

Punti positivi: Oltre all'hotel (fantastico) la posizione è ottima per muoversi a piedi anche in tarda serata.

Punti negativi: L'ingresso si trova in una via ad alto traffico, quindi prima di riuscire a raggiungerla in Uber o per farsi venire a prendere bisogna sopportare un po' di traffico.

Punti positivi: Camere grandi, confortevoli e pulite. Letto comodissimo.

Punti negativi: -

Punti positivi: I like the hotel and its atmosphere. It is well guarded as the area is a little busy but once inside you forget this quickly. The food was excellent, breakfast and lunch buffet offered many choices and were very tasty.

Punti negativi: My room was on the ground floor near the pool and I was disappointed that I didn't have real glass windows. There are only wooden shutters and curtains. So I didn't feel safe opening them at all as that would have enabled anyone to enter my room. It also allowed bugs in.

Punti positivi: Qver all facilities

Punti negativi: Little English spoken.

Punti positivi: We were very happy with this hotel!!

Punti positivi: La camera e il bagno molto spaziosi ( necessari quando si soggiorna molti giorni, 9 nel mio caso). Ottima la colazione a buffet che spazia ampiamente dal dolce al salato. Ho cenato due volte, buono anche il buffet della cena. Il personale è simpatico e disponibile.

Punti positivi: I really enjoyed my stay. I was here during Carnaval and the location could not have been better. So close to the Sambódrom and close to the rest of the city’s action. Close to the central subway that allowed me to visit the neighboring cities with ease. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

Punti positivi: Very comfortable hotel, with an excellent breakfast. The location was also excellent - down a quiet street, but in the middle of a lively area, with lots os street life, and very close to the subway.

Punti negativi: arredamento poco attuale

Punti positivi: Great Breakfast. Good service. Clean facility. Great location

Punti negativi: We bought Samba dance/dinner show tickets from them. The samba was good but the dinner was in a Brazilian grill house churrascaria place. That grill place was very skimpy with their food and the quality was below par. They charged lot of money for very low quality drinks.

Punti negativi: nulla in particolare

Punti positivi: Ottima posizione e personale gentile. Colazione buona e varia

Punti positivi: Colazione molto molto buona. Staff gentilissimo. Il quartiere è particolare molto tipico, apparentemente anche trascurato ma la sera si trasforma in un luogo molto caratteristico pieno di ristorantini e pub. Frequentato dai locali. Bello.

Punti positivi: Personale della reception disponibile ad aiutare (specialmente Rodrigo, Raquel, Felipe) Colazione varia e buona Posizione eccellente

Punti positivi: Good breakfast. Modern hotel. Wi-Fi ok. Friendly staff.

Punti negativi: The floor was dirty with stains. Staff don’t clean the rooms properly.

Punti positivi: Surpassed the Rio 4star hotels at three times the price. The English speaking staff know the city and patiently attend to your needs. 110 & 220 power, fast WiFi, Rio de Janeiro/Galeao International Airport Taxi 30 min, R$ 55 (non peak hours). RJ Dumont Airport .5mi 3min Taxi. You can pay more but why?

Punti negativi: Gangs run the police.

Punti positivi: The room need to be more clean. There is a lot of ant on room. The restaurant need to be more clean and have better food. The location of the hotel is very bad. And I pay a lot of money becouse it was in the middle of Carnaval season. Sorry.

Punti negativi: Close to my work!

Punti positivi: it is culture base, I love it. will visit again, staff was attentive and the hotel was clean, it was also near restaurants and attractions. will recommend

Punti positivi: I stayed here before leaving South America due to coronavirus. It was perfect.

Punti negativi: The neighborhood is dodgy. The lights in the restaurant were broken from at least when I checked (I suspect longer) until the next morning when I complained that I could not see the breakfast buffet.

Punti positivi: Buon hotel. Gentile lo staff. Camere ampie e confortevoli

Punti negativi: Il quartiere

Punti positivi: colazione a buffet molto abbondante. Staff gentile. L'albergo è a circa dieci minuti a piedi dalla Scalinata Selarón.
