Beautiful boutique property in one of the best neighbourhoods of Rio. Everything about the hotel is gorgeous: the views, the rooms, the staff. Breakfast was a special experience served on our terrace overlooking the city.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay in the downstairs room overlooking the city. We felt nothing but the most helpful and no stress hospitality. A great chance to discover the wonders of Santa Teresa and enjoy a scenic tram ride down to Centro.

Staff is superb. Accommodations are outstanding. Great location. Strong WiFi.

Loved my stay. I felt like I was at home from the moment I arrived. I stayed in the Amazon Room with an amazing view of the ocean and mountains in the distance and the very green yard out back. The neighbourhood the hotel is in is awesome, Santa Teresa. Valeria and Remy were wonderful hosts. I plan on returning in a couple of years :)

The staff at Mama Rusia were incredibly hospitable from the moment I arrived. Valeria and Remy provided great recommendations for the neighborhood, made reservations when I needed them, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my short stay. The design of the space is also very beautiful.

Everything! Very charming boutique hotel, helpful and welcoming staff. Excellent decor!

Beautiful hotel, great location, good value, helpful and friendly staff, and excellent breakfast.

In some ways the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. A lovely view of the city. Most tastefully decorated rooms. Lots of common area to sit in. Delightful breakfasts on our balcony. Attentive and friendly staff.

Excellent in every way except Wifi could be better

Great service from Jean Michel and the team. Nice location in Santa Teresa - walkable distance for any main points of interest. Nice view from the wild window.
