Superb

Easily one of the most gallery-like boutiques one will ever find, especially in Brazil. Located in the heart of a classy Italian/Portuguese neighbourhood with historical villas and interesting bars/restaurants nearby. The lobby and rooms are filled with fashion mags and interesting art, with furniture running from antiques to art deco. If you’re looking for a beachy but indoor experience, you also have a beautiful little garden with a pool. All staff are attentive, though some may speak less-than-perfect English. The owner is a tweedy gentleman and a funny guy, super responsive and recommends just the best spots to go to. He also speaks perfect English and French.

The laundry service took more time than we expected, but we got our clean clothes right before we left.

Unique & utterly unforgettable

Where to start? Staying at Mama Ruisa is more like staying at a family friend or benevolent uncle's home than a hotel. Incredibly elegant yet comfortable, this lovely property is a peaceful oasis within walking distance of Rio's most vibrant districts and some cracking little local restaurants. Most of all, the service was so delightful from Thierry, Julie and Thiago - including a phone chat with owner Jean-Michel to recommend the perfect restaurant that evening. What hotel does that?! The room was incredibly spacious and airy.The decor was exquisite and every detail had been thought about. Nothing was too much trouble. Order the omelette for breakfast, and a caipirinha for the balcony at sunset and die happy!

Most charming place in Rio with individual touch

A most charming boutique hotel. Very individual, felt like a home. Lovely setting, lovely garden/ pool, most charming interieur, run by French owner who has an eye for the little details that make it special. Great veranda views. Great recommendation by the owner. We will be back.

Nothing.

This is a beautiful hotel with wonderful staff in a great location in Rio

This is a wonderful hotel to stay in with the best staff and in a great location in Santa Teresa, Rio. I stayed here an extra 2-weeks (3-weeks in total) as so loved my stay and didn’t want to move to anywhere else in Rio. Fantastic Breakfast on the balcony with silverware is a top highlight in a beautiful setting and in such a beautiful building. Thanks to Jean-Francois the owner and his wonderful staff for a very nice stay. One of my best hotel stays during my tour of South America for sure.

nothing, perfect stay

Wonderful

Very nice place. Rather than a hotel, it is a patrician house one is invited in. Very nice breakfast on the balcony, beautiful drawing room, nice gardens. One could spend weeks here, just browsing the books. Very nice people too.

The street below may sometimes be noisy.

Beautiful design, great staff and relaxing vibe!

Mama Ruisa is located in a lovely area of Rio close to some cool bars and restaurants! The staff were INCREDIBLE (thank you Flavia!) and super helpful. Highly recommend this gem of a hotel to those who want to experience Rio in a more alternative way.

Very good

We were absolutely thrilled with the property and decor, an extraordinary collection of furniture and art. The staff was helpful in suggesting restaurants, shopping and arranging for transport. The hotel is not within walking distance to stores or restaurants but well worth the stay. Breakfast was fresh, healthy and good as were simple salads, assortments of cheese etc. On the downside.. as much as we enjoyed the vibe the bathrooms clearly need renovating which is not to say we would not to stay there again but it's time that the bathrooms matched the facilities.

Charming small hotel

Super stylish decoration, big spaces, calm swimming pool and living room to relax, nice views of the city. Super cool hotel for a couple’s romantic escape, combining the charm of an old colonial house with modern touches. quite a special place.

the area isn’t the safest at night so you need to move by cab, but it’s quite cheerful and cool with several nice bars and restaurants so I’d still recommend for two days or so. A pity that breakfast is not included or even a mere tea or complimentary refreshment (there’s a mini bar with Parisian prices)

Haven in Rio

It is perhaps one of my favorite hotels I have ever stayed in, mainly for the very rare personal touches of beauty, in the books, furniture, flowers, art, the breakfast was perfection, the staff delightful. It was an honor to be trusted with all of the collected gorgeousness
