    We had the best time chilling on the rooftop and taking in the epic view of Rio. The staff were super cool and always had our backs. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was so friendly and we felt totally safe walking around, even at night. We had the raddest experience being part of the favela community. Definitely recommend it for a true Rio adventure!

    Only thing we wished for was more happening nightlife near the hostel. We wanted to party hard but had to go a bit further for the really wild nights.

    The decoration of the hotel was charming and had a cozy feeling, with colorful walls and beautiful artwork. The general areas, such as the terrace and balcony, were well-maintained and offered stunning views of the surrounding area. As a senior woman, I found the hotel's accessibility to be excellent, as the staff was always ready to assist me with carrying my luggage and navigating the steep path to the hostel.

    I would have appreciated more seating options with backrests in the general areas for better comfort during my stay.

    We were a bit worried about staying in a favela, but Pousada Favelinha proved us wrong. The community was welcoming and the neighborhood felt safe. The view from our room was breathtaking, with a stunning panorama of the buildings, sea, and hills. Plus, the hostel was conveniently located near major tourist attractions.

    The view from the rooms was simply stunning, even more breathtaking than the pictures. We felt completely safe in the favela, and the friendly locals made us feel welcome. The hostel's location was perfect, as it was within walking distance of Santa Teresa. The breakfast provided was simple yet delicious, offering everything we needed to start our day. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the quick WiFi was a bonus. This was an authentic Brazilian experience that we will cherish forever!

    My wife says that it would have been even better if the bed sheets were renewed and if there was an air conditioner installed.

    Great location with amazing views and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were friendly. Wonderful breakfast with a stunning panorama.

    Difficult to access public transportation and shopping areas. Limited cleanliness and maintenance, including dirty towels and a dirty rooftop terrace.

    The value for money at this hotel was incredible. The room was spacious, beautifully painted and had a safe. The view from our balcony was amazing and the staff, especially Solange, were friendly and helpful. The neighborhood felt safe and the locals were kind and welcoming. We will definitely miss our time here.

    Breakfast choices could be improved.

    Arrived late and was greeted by Jonas who took us up to the Pousada. The views are absolutely stunning, overlooking Rio and Sugarloaf Mountain. The rooftop terrace is a great place to relax. The breakfast was perfect with fresh fruits. The owners are super friendly and welcoming. Safety was not a concern in the favela. Great experience, would definitely recommend!

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The Pousada Favelinha offers a truly authentic experience with its stunning view and amazing hosts. Safety was not an issue, even with a child. The property caretaker and her son were like family, providing assistance and even walking me to the cab spot early in the morning. The location in the favela was safe and the neighbors were respectful and helpful. The interior of the Pousada was colorful and had everything needed. a mind-blowing experience, highly recommended for a chill and relaxing stay. Visit Parque Das Ruinas for a jaw-dropping view!

    The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking, even better than what we saw in the pictures. The location in the favela felt safe and allowed us to experience a different side of Rio de Janeiro. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the breakfast exceeded our expectations with a variety of delicious options. The WiFi was quick, which was a bonus.

    My kids wished there was air conditioning in the rooms.

    The view was amazing with beautiful views of the city and the sugar loaf. The staff were friendly and full of useful information about the area. The breakfast was nice with a variety of fruits and good coffee. The location felt safe and was close to local shops, restaurants, and bus stops. Easy access to popular attractions like Christ the Redeemer. a work in progress but with potential for improvement.

    Wall light broken, room quite hot with no fan, and no hot water in shower. Rooms were not very clean.

    Our stay at Pousada Favelinha was absolutely amazing. The view from our room was breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. The staff, especially Matti, was incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast spread was delicious, with fresh bread, fruits, cheese, and ham. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, making us feel at home. Despite initial concerns about safety, we felt completely secure throughout our stay. The nearby Santa Teresa neighborhood was charming with its bars, restaurants, and cobbled streets. While it was a bit of a trek to the taxi or bus station, the walk was worth it for the genuine experience of Rio. we highly recommend Pousada Favelinha for an unforgettable stay in Rio de Janeiro.

    Stunning, world-class views! Had the place to myself with 2 cute cats and 2 lovable dogs. Peaceful and felt totally safe and comfortable. Delicious breakfasts and yummy dinner made by Andrea. Can't forget the amazing caipirinhas! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and breakfast was great with tropical fruits. We felt absolutely safe in the area. The price for the rooms was very moderate. Take the city trip and musical trip offered by the staff. There is a little restaurant close by with good food and a breathtaking view from the terrace!

    Getting to the hotel was a bit challenging, either a steep walk or climb. But the local taxis are cheap and if they drop you off at the top entrance it's not too bad.
