Amazing and welcoming hosts. The hostel is converted from a house and all that ambiance comes along with it. My stay felt very homey and more like staying at an Airbnb. Close walking distance to Santa Teresa, Lapa, Centro, and a metro station to all other neighborhoods. I felt safe the entire time. Entire place was clean. Wifi was fast. Outlets near every bunk bed. Towels and foot rug provided in bathrooms. Kitchen is well equipped.

Right opposite the beach for unbeatable sea views. Beach is much quieter than Copacabana or Ipanema but just as stunning. Very modern hotel with good beds and facilities. They provide towels for pool and their little beach area which is a nice touch. It's a fair way from main Rio, but take advantage of the peace! Also a nice bakery and kilo restaurant less than 10 mins walk away, just turn right out of the hotel.

Perfect location just meters away from the selaron stairs and the start of the Carmelitas bloco, Sambadrome 25 min walk away and Ipanema and Copacabana just 20 mins by metro. Guillermo and Maize are very welcoming and take the time to get to know their guests. The house looks great, breakfast is wonderful (Guillermo makes an excellent omelet!). Loved it here and would totally stay again.

Breakfast and the food in the restaurant were both excellent, although food and drinks were a bit pricey but you get 30% off food and drink when booking through booking.com. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Rooms are comfortable and spacious and the hotel is right next to both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. Would definitely recommend.

Good location and safe area to stay in. The hotel was useful for the purpose of staying somewhere during carnival walking distance of both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. The hotel staff were helpful and english speaking which helpes us understand where to go and how to get to places. The rooms were simple, clean and modern.

We loved it at the PortoBay! Big comfy bed, powerful walk-in shower, balcony, rooftop pool, sauna, steam room, room service. It was luxury and right on Copacabana Beach. Streets surrounding the hotel felt safe, close to lots of great restaurants and subway. Staff were always helpful and friendly.

This is a cool hotel in a cool area. Santa Teresa is a happening place and there is plenty going. The rooms are cool and you can really enjoy your time in this hotel compared to the over priced tourist hotels of Copacabana and Ipanema.

We acutally booked another nights in this amazing hotel, as everything is roughly perfect. Directly at Copacabana is a really nice location and also close to Ipanema. Highlight is also the breakfast, as you get wonderful treatment.

Amazing location near Arpoador (best sunset view in Rio) and right between Copacabana and Ipanema. Rooms are spacious, modern-looking (which is not always the case in Rio), and very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel.

Very good location, less than 5 minutes walking to Copacabana beach. Staff very friendly and helpful. Modern, clean and well decorated hotel and rooms. Our hotel room had an amazing balcony.

Location (Not beachfront, but great spot if you are getting out to explore Rio, between Copacabana and Ipanema). Very spacious well kept rooms. Clean, tidy and well presented hotel. Good WiFi.

This hotel’s location is very good, it’s just between Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and there are many restaurants, ATMs, supermarkets and other stores in the area.

Perfect location. We stayed in a high floor. I think the hotel has probably the best view along the coast of Copacabana because of the height of the building.

The hotel location was good its just walking distance to copacabana beach! Around the hotel there is a lot of restaurant and grocery. Its a good location.

Room was spacious with a fantastic view. Copacabana beach was right across from the hotel. There is a restaurant and pool on the 30th floor.

The Staffs are very nice. Good location easy to walk to two famous beaches in Rio de Janeiro both Copacabana and Ipanema.

Very helpful staff The hotel is in fantastic location. 2 min walk to Copacabana beach and 10 min walk to Ipanema beach

The room was clean The hotel is located right at the COPACABANA beach so location is perfect.

I have never left a hotel review in my life but I am leaving one for the Fasano. It was that excellent. The rooms and facilities are clean and beautiful (and the beds are incredibly comfortable,) the pool is spectacular, but the service is the hotel’s crown jewel. I was traveling alone, so the warmth with which the concierges and receptionists always greeted me meant so much and made me feel so welcome. The concierge made a dinner reservation for me one night and even told the restaurant it was the month of my birthday so they brought me a dessert with a candle to celebrate! At the rooftop pool, Alex and Donorio took such good care of me I never wanted to leave, even for the beach! They are all such wonderful people.

The staff was the best asset of the hotel. Although there might be some communication problems, since some people don't speak Portuguese. The rooms were really nice. We were in 2 different rooms and both are nice.
