such a brilliant place to stay!! felt very safe and wow the view is amazing!! Breakfast was in the room by the balcony, overlooking Copacabana beach and Sugarloaf Mountain! It is in a great location and near a road with shops, buses (very useful to get about e.g. to Urca to Sugarloaf Mountain! It's a bit stuffy air wise in... More

I stayed here for 3 nights in April at the end of a month long trip through South America. As a lone traveller, I had looked for an affordable alternative to the many characterless, impersonal hotels along Copabacaba beach, somewhere I would feel welcome and could relax in comfort and safety. Marta and her guesthouse exceeded all my expectations. Views... More

We stayed here in November 2011 for 4 nights. Marta was fantastic!!! She arranged a driver to collect us from the airport (and he also took us to an office my husband needed to visit over an hour away - and waited for us until we were ready to come back!). The service was outstanding and we felt incredibly welcome.... More

Superb location at the south end of Copacabana. Fantastic view from the terrace on the 10th floor. The beach is just across Av Atlantica. You could pay a lot more and not have a view anything like this. But Marta has more than the view to recommend it. She and her staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable... More

Fantastic place with everything you need and a lots of extra! This is the place to stay in Rio, close to all your dreams. Marta the owner who is running the place takes extreemly good care of all guests. We would love to stay at this place next time we are going back to Rio! More

However after much research of hotels and b & b's in Rio, Marta's was the most competitive overall during the Carnival period and also included tickets to the... More

we booked with plenty of time (2 months ahead)but since it was at the end of Carnivale week we were asked to secure our room with a $US300 deposit which mysteriously disappeared later. We arrived at the prearranged time but had to wait while Marta was on an errand. Once we arrived and walked out onto the balcony with a... More

I have stayed at The Rio Guest House, twice now. I enjoyed both stays, Marta and her husband John are wonderful people and they have a beautiful place, with excellent views of Copacabana. I enjoyed my first stay so much that when I went back I took my daughters with me and we had a great time. Marta is very... More
