Pros: Villa 25 is a really modern hostel, it's a renovated house(maybe a mansion, as it's quite a large property. It's very well maintained and extremely clean. There is a large TV in the indoor common area with numerous channels. In the dorm rooms, each of the beds has an outlet and light, plus a little shelf to keep your stuff. There's also a (thin) curtain for privacy. The bed is comfortable and has a sheet and blanket. There is a good selection for breakfast, and there's a restaurant too but it's fairly steep for a hostel, it seems frequented by locals (if your budget allows for it, I would recommend it!). The location is pretty good, it's in the Laranjeiras not too far from Lapa, the city centre area. It's also close to Rua do Catete where there are many shops and restaurants. But it's not as touristy as the Copacabana neighborhood, if you're looking for that.

Pros: The location is good, with a quiet, safe residential neighbourhood and close to the metro.
Cons: The wifi didn't work. When I told the staff member, he literally said "What do you want me to do?" They were not at all worried-- this was a big deal as I needed to use my laptop for work. When I was talking to other guests they said it hadn't been working without them fixing it for a while either. The room and in particular the bathroom was quite unclean. The bed was very uncomfy-- one of those beds they zip together to be a double but there's still a massive gap in the middle. It is disappointing as the place would be great but all these stuff really added up.

Pros: Amazing view! A great location in Santa Teresa, which is an upcoming area but not located in the centre of that neighorhood. The hotel has a lot of potential- it’s a beautiful old villa with a good size pool and great views of the whole city. The air con worked well and the lady who serves breakfast is very friendly.

Pros: The location. Santa Teresa is a beautiful neighbourhood of Rio. From the property you have a great view of the city, of the Christ and Corcovado mountain and the Pau de Azucar. The swimming pool and breakfast area are great for relaxing and having your breakfast with great views of the city.

Pros: We loved our stay in Rio De Janeiro. As a couple this hotel was the perfect romantic getaway for us. We stayed in the Superior Room with Terrace and the views from the balcony were amazing! After reading a few recent reviews we were a little worried as people were saying the room etc did not look like the pictures on the site, and also that the balcony doors did not lock and their room felt insecure, however this was not the case! Our room was beautiful and clean and we felt very safe, the doors and windows all locked securely and the view was just out of this world! We also had a little trouble paying for our stay as initially our payment was blocked by my bank, however the Villa were very understanding and patient and helped us pay on the second day of our stay no questions asked. The staff went above and beyond for us during our visit, we arranged to be picked up at the airport on our first night which all went very smoothly and we didn’t have to pay until the end of our trip, the owner John helped us to get a SIM card for our phone by having someone drive and translate for us, breakfast was beautiful and the lady that served us was lovely, and the manager let us keep our room until 7pm on the last day of our stay as we weren’t due to fly until the evening free of charge!

Pros: We stayed in the master suite and I could not recommend it more highly! The most unbelievable view, teamed with a balcony, hot tub and gorgeous room & bathroom! We were going to stay one night but extended our stay! The pool area is beautiful and breakfast is set at the top of the villa overlooking Rio. Jean and Sergio were fantastic hosts and even allowed us to extend check out due to our flight time - thanks so much guys! We would absolutely return, and couldn’t recommend The Villa more highly. Also the ladies who were serving breakfast were so lovely! It is very remote, so do bare this in mind, but we Ubered everywhere as it’s SO cheap (20 min drive - £3 maximum)! Just an all round amazing way to spend our last few days in Rio.

7.5
Pros: The location of the property is in lovely Santa Teresa and is relatively isolated so if you are not an adventurous person or nervous about being outside of the ´tourist´zone in Rio i would not recommend this property. We enjoyed walking to the main street and catching the bus or train, it added to our experience, however some people would hate it. One piece of advice for the check in staff - it would be nice to have a little map of the area, info on what buses to catch to get central etc... restaurants nearby, taxi numbers, etc ... we had to figure that out for ourselves. The views are spectacular, the house is a lovely old villa, which could do with a renovation, however for the price you are paying it is fine. They have an amazing space that serves as the breakfast area, however if they paid more attention to that space they could make it a wonderful on-site restaurant/bar, at the moment they don't seem to be doing anything with it, which is a shame, since that area of Santa Teresa has nothing nearby, it would be nice to have something on site, it would also encourage people to stay at the property and enjoy their facilities more, the pool, their room....plus spend money at the property, and maybe encourage non guests to visit purely for the food/view/experience, and to have a cocktail with that amazing view!! I think people would travel solely to see that....which you'd think would be encouraged... The Chef, Ezechiel was great!

Pros: An utterly unique boutique hotel with incredible views of the city and bags of charm. The location is a little off the beaten track, but for those with a more adventurous nature it is the perfect choice within the Santa Teresa Hills. We would highly recommend Uber - it is very cheap and accessible allowing you to explore and head into the city and return to The Villa with ease. The rooms are fantastic and all have their own character.

The hotel has a lot of potential- it’s a beautiful old villa with a good size pool and great views of the whole city. The air con worked well and the lady who serves breakfast is very friendly.
Cons: Security was lacking - the balcony doors do not lock which made us feel very insecure. The manager leaves at 6pm and theres no information on how to contact him or if there’s an emergency. There’s no sign on the outside of the building which made it difficult to find at 10pm, after our flight. We didn’t have hot water in our first room and when we asked for it to be fixed, this seemed to be a great inconvenience. We eventually changed to a different room but it had all the same issues. Cleanliness- the sheets, blankets and towels are tired, old and stained. This would be an easy investment and upgrade that all guests would appreciate. The whole property feels tired. The bathrooms smells of damp. Furniture is cracking. Art is faded. We had issues around final payment as the manager was not available at the time of departure despite him helping book our car transfer. Most importantly the pictures on the website are not the same as the actual hotel! It seems that management are aware of this and very unapologetic about the fact. It is a shame as the bones of the hotel are great but the potential is not realised. With some small changes it could be a good hotel in a vibrant area.

Cons: We found dirty bedsheets and only after several hours the property managed to change them. Little knowledge of english in most of the staff. The breakfast service was minimal, on the first day we even had to set the table on our own by finding where plates, cutlery and glasses where.

Cons: during my check-in I couldn't get into the house because man waiting for me didn't speak English at all and he couldn't understand me. I had to wait outside so it wasn't very pleasant for me as a single female tourist. It would be good to have there someone who speaks English all the time.

Cons: Unfortunately the location of the property is quite out of the way. Uber is very cheap and easy to use for the most part, but we did have a few drivers refuse to drive us home from more touristy areas at peak times. We also had a little bit of a language barrier when we first tried to check in as we don’t speak Portuguese or Spanish and our driver had to translate who we were to the man at reception who was refusing to check us in at first, however after the misunderstanding was ironed out he was very nice and incredibly helpful despite the language barrier!

Cons: They didn’t serve food and drink during the daytimes when we were there - it would be good to have a small snack bar of some sort available to guests as it is very remote, so it’s not like you can pop to a shop! However they were opening the restaurant on our last day there, so I wonder whether this will provide that!

Cons: More information should be provided about the area in which we are staying, in Santa Teresa upon check in. Map, local info on buses, tram, restaurants and general services. They need to do something with their terrace, it is such a waste of potential as it is.

Cons: The only improvement would be for the rooftop bar to be utilised more. It is currently only used for breakfast and there is no onsite food or drink available at all any other time of day. It would have been nice to be able to relax inn the bar and order drinks in the evening.
