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! ##### Gary Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alceir Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Amenities Excellent staff.very clean good location ##### Alceir Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alceir Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location.

The facilities are good, too. The room was good, too, but you can hear next door depending on the room assignment (some rooms share a door with next door, that’s why their noises will be audible). The bathroom is good; the shower head had the right pressure, but the lights could be brighter in there. I didn’t get the chance to experience the pool or the bar. Breakfast was wonderful, with many options of pastries, fruits, and omelets. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We made a good choice in selecting this hotel. The surrounding area may be a bit sketchy, but the hotel facility and great English speaking staff made this hotel selection a great find. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### its nice Lovely hotel in a run down area ##### Carol Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dr. Nadia Jul 3, 2025 #### An ok hotel with strategic location The check-in was ok, but my room was so noisy despite I asked for a quiet one.. it also had a lot of broken stuff.. A/C.. door knob.. & so on.. they did change it to a bigger & quieter one, but again sometimes they would only provide one towel.. leave hair & tissues on the floor.. etc… ##### Dr. Nadia Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bayo Mar 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Booked for 4 nights. Ended up staying for 9. Big thanks to Everton and Manu for being so helpful at check-in. My favourite place in Rio. I’ll be back soon. ##### Bayo Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ioannis Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The hotel seems old with respect to what I expected in the pictures. They are also very strict with check in time and in a city where flights from Europe usually land in the morning I felt it was predatory and cheap of them to charge me for an extra night. ##### Ioannis Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Jan 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Serene spot for relaxation. Large pool long enough for me to swim laps. Spacious room with almost no street noise disturbance. Staff very attentive and kind, especially Guilherme and Vladimir at reception. Extensive breakfast selection with certain items cooked to your order. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nigel Mar 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel Vila Gale in the Lapa district of Rio is a great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was excellent and there is a large swimming pool and sunbathing area. Lapa is close to the Sambadrome during Carnival season, but the area is rundown and there are many rough sleepers on the streets. However, we did not experience any issues and loved all the faded splendour of the old buildings. ##### Nigel Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Natasha Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the breakfast and pool at this property. The neighborhood unfortunately has alot of homeless people on the streets and garbage but is good if you love music as the Lapa area has many music bars and restaurants. The staff is nice but they do not have too much knowledge about recommendations for swimable beaches and family activities. ##### Natasha Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alvaro Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me and my Wife had a great experience Todu fue excelente . the place , beautiful Comida de lA Mañana Great .

Would I stay here again? No. There was no iron or laundry service (you have to pay for it). The buffet is expensive, and the food is not great for the price (80-90 reais). Be careful—I was charged twice for the buffet. Keep your receipts if you pay with the attendant. ##### Ana Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jhan Carlos Ismael Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed from February 22nd to March 1st, and let me tell you, it was an incredible experience! The location is simply amazing, and the area is buzzing with energy. If you’re a party animal who loves being close to the action, Lapa is the perfect place for you. The hotel staff is absolutely fantastic - they’re friendly, helpful, and go the extra mile to make sure you have a great time. The rooms are spotless, and the cleaning ladies are incredibly friendly. I had an amazing time here, and there were no issues at all. Oh, and our flight was at night, so they were so kind to let us shower at the spa shower before our flight. It was a lovely touch! ##### Jhan Carlos Ismael Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Francisca Aug 14, 2025 This reservation was made for members of my family, with payment scheduled to be charged to the credit card registered in my Expedia account. I would not be present at the time of check-in. On the day of arrival, my family contacted me to inform that the hotel was requiring the physical presentation of the credit card or payment in cash. When I spoke with a staff member, I was informed that the payment could be accepted as long as I sent an email confirming my details and attaching a copy of my identification. I explained that I would not send a copy of any personal document but could authorize the payment via email or, if necessary, arrange for payment in cash. After speaking with the manager, the staff member agreed to proceed with the check-in upon receiving my email authorization and processing the payment using the card already registered with Expedia. ##### Francisca Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Guadalupe Jan 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The property was fine but not the street ##### Guadalupe Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Windsor California Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-California-Hotel.h22117011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Fasano-Rio-De-Janeiro.h1542064.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Rio de Janeiro Leme](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Novotel-Rio-De-Janeiro-Leme.h53295.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Teresa Hotel Rio de Janeiro - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Santa-Teresa-Hotel-RJ-MGallery.h2226944.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels.d6094955.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Fairmont-The-Queen-Elizabeth.h9483.Hotel-Information) > > [Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Copacabana-Palace.h7130.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d180017-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [THE Beach Club Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-THE-Beach-Club-Resort.h1899963.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Hotel Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Hotel-Rio-De-Janeiro.h564457.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Rio-Hotel-Resort.h10581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Nacional-Rio.h42275495.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Fairmont-Rio-De-Janeiro-Copacabana.h174198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Rogers Arena](https://www.expedia.ca/Rogers-Arena-Hotels.0-l6072231-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Windsor Leme Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Leme-Hotel.h877312.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hilton-Copacabana-Rio-De-Janeiro.h4100177.Hotel-Information) > > [Orla Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Orla-Copacabana-Hotel.h889673.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Othon Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Rio-Othon-Palace.h24526.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Eco Resort de Angra - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Angra-Dos-Reis-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Eco-Resort-De-Angra-All-Inclusive.h2170687.Hotel-Information) > > [Arena Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Arena-Copacabana-Hotel.h3094577.Hotel-Information) > > [Ritz Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Ritz-Copacabana-Boutique-Hotel.h15491185.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Boracay Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Boracay-Island-Hotels.d601371.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/ord/detroit-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [flights from fort mcmurray airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ymm/flights-from-fort-mcmurray-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to San Juan (SJU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sju/toronto-to-san-juan) ### Packages > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Split Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Split.d3255.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Manzanillo](https://www.expedia.ca/Manzanillo.dx4182)
