Loved the staff! Courteous, fun, polite, and willing to help at any time. The location is excellent. Just a couple of blocks from Ipanema Beach. The bathroom in our room was very small and the shower needs adjustments. It drops the water in a cascade fashion instead of a smooth shower. However, we never reported or asked to be fixed. The breakfast is excellent! Plenty of options to start the day. As far as safety goes ... well, it is Rio and like any major city in Brazil, one must exercise caution. We only used taxis, and the hotel doormen were ready to get us one expeditiously. Will most definitely stay there again. I am very familiar with the neighborhood and always like staying in the area.

Very nice hotel. Clean. Great breakfast. It’s a little dated, but if you’re looking for a bossa nova Rio experience with kind people, then stay at this hotel.

Hotel Vermont was a total waste of money and an unpleasant way to start our time in Brazil. The room was TINY; my partner and I couldn’t move around at the same time. The sink leaked so there was a constant puddle in the bathroom. The floor was gritty. Breakfast was inedible. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful; for example, they couldn’t help me get on the wifi, and when I messaged the hotel ahead of our stay, they stopped replying to me after one message. On top of all this, we were charged an additional 12% “markup” on top of the price we were quoted by hotels.com; the hotel said this was for currency exchange, despite it being listed as a separate line item from the exchange rate and my credit card having no foreign transaction fees. There are far nicer condos for rent in the area for a better price; we thought the front desk help and breakfast would be worth it, but we really regret that decision.

The equivalent of a 2.5 star hotel. Rooms were not clean, sewage smell in bathroom, elevator broke one day, laundry service is a massive rip off. Cannot recommend unless the only thing you care about is location.

A boutique hotel located in a very convenient, walkable area in Ipanema (safer than Copacobana) - only 2 blocks away from the beach. Excellent breakfast with diverse selections. Very friendly front desk staff.

Very good location, easy to walk to. Beach, can also walk to Leblon or copacabana easily. Easy for Uber pick up and drop off aswell. Breakfast was good. Room was small but perfectly fine for our stay. Would recommend for staying in Ipanema.
