Negative Reviews
negative:
Location inconvenient for some.
The Villa is located in Santa Teresa, a residential area away from Rio de Janeiro's main tourist hub. This proves to be inconvenient for some. In order to visit the likes of Copacabana Beach, guests will need to hop on a bus, book a taxi or hire a car. This may be a hassle for those travellers looking to completely unwind.
negative:
Some cleanliness issues encountered.
For the most part the hotel is described as clean and comfortable but a small number of guests have encountered issues with cleanliness. These mainly revolve around guest suites not being thoroughly cleaned between guests.
negative:
In-room Wi-Fi can be problematic.
A number of guests have struggled to connect to the hotel's free Wi-Fi whilst in their room, which has proven mildly irksome for some. Reports suggest that the signal is stronger in the hotel's communal spaces.
