Rio de Janeiro Hotel Guide - Serra de Santa Catarina hotels in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

"The hotel looks nice on the internet but the area it’s located in a street with deteriorated building and it’s best you don’t walk at night alone . "

"Everything was great... "

"Absolutely fantastic "

" I always look for smaller boutique hotels on our travels and this one didn’t disappoint! Full of character, but modern in its facilities. Our room was a good size, comfortable and with two comfy chairs to chill out on. A super comfortable bed and the shower was large and powerful. They supply a nice breakfast to your table. The patio and pool areas both have great views across the city. The hotel is located in the charming Santa Teresa neighbourhood, which feels like a small hilltop village above the chaotic city below. Lots of nice restaurants nearby. The only downside was that the WiFi continuously dropped out in our room, which was frustrating!"

"Welcoming staff. Comfortable, relaxing room and pool area. "

"Very good cost benefit ratio. "

"I very much enjoyed my stay at Vila Galé! The staff were excellent from check in to check out, the property itself is beautiful in an old, but updated colonial property. I stayed in one of the apartments right beside the pool and terrace, and even while you were situated with a walkway outside the room, I felt safe and comfortable enough to open the windows wide and take a nap or do whatever within the room. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to explore the beautiful Rio de Janeiro!"
