It's a great place to stay....great location....great staff....I could live there

Nice location for shopping and a night out in Lapa. Good cheap restaurant / choparia alongside

Everything is ok. The location is a bit far from Metro Station, about 15 to 20mins walk.

Overall the property was ok. Location was convenient with supermarket and cheap food available close by. But looked a bit unsafe especially in the night. when we landed in the night the corridor carpet was stinking - though it did improve after cleaning next day. The rooms are decently sized but the lift can only accommodate 2 at a time and my kids could not open their windows with AC fixed behind. The breakfast was average and exactly the same for all 6 days of our stay. There were fruit flies on the not too fresh fruit and one day I found a small cockroach on my plate. The swimming pool looked clean though small and though we didn't use it. The fitness centre also looked small but functional.

Kudos for their renovating and keeping a historical building in downtown Rio. Nice jobe, rooms are very pleasing at least the ones facing the street which have some interesting view to Santa Tereza Hill. There are some facing the inside of the building meaning no light if in lower floor especially. Breakfast was good with all the staples you'd expect including nice granola and your must have tropical papaya and American style scramble pretty decent one by the way. I like the location very much having been to Rio plenty I find it refreshing being in a neighborhood with mostly locals and of the non pretentious kind. Plenty of botecos, bars, make sure you try the rotisserie chicken platter across the street one block to the left at the Cazota Bar, one of the best ever! To the right make first left for Dom Galeto for the best pork ribs I've had all in the best laid back rio style without the frenzy of the Zona Sul

The staff are nice and helpful:)

The staff are helpful. You can walk to some tourist place such as Escadaria selarón. Just be careful when you go out.

Hotel way better than it appears to be from outside appearance. Great service. Great rooms. Descent pool. Excellent and convenient location!

Super decent for the price ! Great guy working in restaurant . Beautiful old building. We were happy to Gabe booked this hotel. Great value. good neighborhood. Cute pool and sauna too.

A basic room in a central location. Room has a fridge and safe. Perfect for getting out and about. Breakfast ok. Nothing elaborate but the basics are there. Beds not especially comfortable but as value goes this is decent and area felt safe.

We just came back from a short trip to Brazil during which we stayed in the Monte Alegre hotel for 4 days. The hotel is clean and the hotel staff very nice and helpful. If you can speak some Portugese it will be easier on you and the personnel. Present economic conditions in Brazil show a little in small details like a leaking tap and a slightly creaking elevator. Our bed was comfortable, internet reception reasonable (some days we had to try a few times to get through, but once you were through it was OK). The breakfast included with the room is plentiful and varied: every day there were 4 types of fruit (banana, pineapple, papaya, water melon), yogurt, tea, coffee,cocoa, juices, breads and buns and a number of the sweet things Brazilians love at any time. Although the room was reasonably priced we found that the extras, like laundry service, were unexpectedly expensive. But all in all we had a very good stay and would warmly recommend this hotel.
