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 #### Peter Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great rooms.

We enjoyed it, including the location for sightseeing. ##### Arran Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### leciane Apr 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was very accommodating friendly the rooms very confertable I would staff again for sure ##### leciane Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter May 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities To be fair the location isn’t the best Rio de Janiero can offer but if you seek a clean hotel with an amazing pool area at lower cost than this hotel will appeal. ##### Peter Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 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 #### Raul Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a beautiful luxury hotel, renovated from an old historic building, great location in downtown, which also means that you are near the great music bars in Rio, but also the surroundings could get tricky at night. The breakfast and swimming pool were great. Overall, a fantastic option if you want to stay in the Lapa area. ##### Raul Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 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 .

Extremely helpful and nice staff. The location was however not the best. I didn’t feel safe walking around at night alone or even with my partner. A lot of homeless near by and a lot of people told me that theft is very high in that part of town. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 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 #### John Feb 21, 2025 Likes: great room size. Very quiet at night. Good block out curtains. Fast room service. Dislikes: breakfast service chaotic…kept running out of plates, cereal bowls, paper napkins (cocktail napkins instead), slow replenishment of food and slow staff. Guests unable to borrow iron and board. Only hotel ironing service available. Very limited bathroom toiletries. ##### John Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian L Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Food was just ok in my opinion. Breakfast was free but left a lot to be desired. Very clean and secure place but once you leave the premises you’re on your own and may see any and everything. But that’s all over Lapa. So if you’re faint of heart this may not be for you. ##### Brian L Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [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 Mississauga (YYZ) to Richmond (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 Mississauga (YYZ) to Carolina (SJU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sju/toronto-to-san-juan) ### Packages > [Split Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Split.d3255.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
