Hôtels près de Livraria Leonardo da Vinci - Rio De Janeiro

Points positifs: Breakfast was good.Clean.

Points négatifs: Neighborhood isn't good. Not recommended for stay at weekend and for romantic couples.

Points positifs: Le petit déjeuner est copieux . La possibilité de partir a 14h gratuitement .

Points négatifs: L'accueil très limite avec du personnel sec et qui ne sourit pas . Le quartier qui n'est pas du tout sûr et a proximité il n'y a rien , pas un magasin ou un restaurant ouvert le soir (ferme entre 16h et 17h) a part le burger king d'à côté . On entend les bruits de la rue et les ascenseurs de l'hôtel . L'hôtel est vieillissant

Points positifs: Staff was excellent tried their best to cope with my preferences. The hotel is at the heart of Rio, close to restaurants, coffee shops and amenities.

Points négatifs: TV channels were mostly in Portuguese, not very convenient for English speaking travelers like me. The breakfast buffet may need more varieties, especially in hot selections.

Points positifs: great

Points négatifs: Slow internet

Points positifs: Breakfast is perfect! Location wise you have better options, but overall a good stay!!

Points positifs: Great value per money hotel in the center of Rio

Points négatifs: A bit simple but still nice.

Points négatifs: on the menu, a bottle of water costs 4 $B but at check out we were charged 8 for each water.

Points positifs: Good Breakfast

Points négatifs: the whole condition of the hotel is old

Points positifs: Super buffet de petit déjeuner, très bon emplacement pour visiter le quartier portuaire de Rio

Points négatifs: Hôtel d'allure un peu vieillotte

Points positifs: It's a home from home

Points négatifs: The reception

Points positifs: Absolument parfait, au cœur du carnaval, l hôtel se situe à proximité de tout, métro, sambodrome, tout peut se visiter à pied ou en métro, emplacement central, personnel très attentionne, chambre très propre, lit bébé fourni, absolument superbe je recommande

Points positifs: Location, facilities and staff

Points négatifs: Breakfast buffet

Points positifs: Equipments, emplacement, truly marvellous vila and pool

Points négatifs: Staff was not very accomodant, and seemed annoyed at every question asked (while my numerous questions were mostly due to staff mistakes) there were several problems that affected our experience : we booked a room for three persons, yet the room was made for two (from the double bed to the two towels etc). When I asked where I would sleep they opened the sofa bed which was probably the worse bed I have ever slept in ! Not normal for such price in my opinion. Fortunately staff eventually changed our room after complaining. Also charged me more than normal price for a sandwich while I asked them not to put meat in it.. Which, if a mistake too, makes several mistakes for just a one night stay

Points positifs: Emplacement proche de l’animation du quartier Hôtel tout confort et très joli Super petit déjeuner

Points positifs: La grande piscine Petit déjeuner copieux Proximité pour aller visiter le centre ville Check out tardif

Points négatifs: Quartier qui peut faire peur

Points positifs: I have stayed in many hotels in Rio from budget to 5 star..Most fall in to two categories.Cheap but very basic with refurbs done Pre 1980 or supposed lux that are often nothing more than tarted up flea pits. Vila Gale is like an oasis of comfort and value. The hotel is divided in to two sections .A historic old school conversion and a new tower connected by a large central courtyard swimming pool. My suggestion is stay in the historic section. Rooms are well designed in both sections even though the colour scheme is a little bland. The property is located close to Lapa and the famous arches and a ten minute walk to the subway that can take you to downtown (Historic Centro)or to the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema.This once dangerous area of Rio is now well policed and I did not witness any trouble but remember you are in Rio so keep your eyes open.Serious crime usually takes place in the favellas but do not display any signs of wealth. Breakfast is lovely ,excellent variety ,and good quality.

Points négatifs: Breakfast staff are lovely and welcoming and make an effort to speak English The standard of reception staff is inconsistent. Some of the male staff are sometimes a little distant and incompetent.perhaps a little more training and better language skills. All staff need better training in regards to tourism. There is so much more to Rio than just the beaches ,sugar loaf mountain and Christ Redeemer as spectacular as they are

Points positifs: I had a delux room , I asked for a room with view to the inside yard and I got ! It was really a nice exprience in this hotel ! Thr pool wa clean and you have every thing what you need ! Very nice and friendly staff! Perfect breakfast !

Points négatifs: Every thing just perfect :)

Points positifs: - Helpful staff: gave me a different room when internet was no working in the first, quick repairs - 15 min walking to the center or Escaderia Selaron - Great pool

Points négatifs: - constant noise from next door

Points positifs: Good location and hotel facilities. Staff were very helpful when approached. Good breakfast buffet available.

Points négatifs: No kettle or iron in rooms, lack of English skills. Could be better setup for tourists and provide more proactive information about Lapa, Rio and what is happening in and around town.

Points positifs: Staff was nice and spoke well english. Hotel was super quiet.

Points positifs: Le petit-déjeuner excellent, la variété, la cuisinière adorable, la chambre très belle et confortable, le room service, la piscine, l'architecture de l'établissement, l'emplacement, le rapport qualité prix.

Points négatifs: Le personnel d'accueil n'est pas très chaleureux.

Points positifs: The pool was nice. It’s an oasis in the middle of hustle and bustle of Rio

Points négatifs: A smile and attention to detail can go a million miles with customers. They need to do a better job of making the best first impression. The hotel needs to train all the staff for better customer service. They need to pay attention if they are waiting in front of them and need to not be on the phone every single ring. Guests have stuff to do and very busy so when they go to the concierge, pay attention to them. They also need to make sure every single room gets clean everyday. The only overnight stay that we did, they didn’t even bother cleaning the room at all. Not even an apology for the delay. They will give you some lame excuse that the cleaning lady had many rooms to clean. Sure the day gets busy, but when the customer bothered calling the concierge desk to clean the room, you better send the staff there ASAP. Customers does not have to call the concierge desk to get their rooms clean EVER! It irks me that they consider this hotel 4-5 stars. Yes, they have the amenities but they serve their customers like they’re staying in a hostel.

Points positifs: Le cadre, la propreté des lieux, le petit déjeuner complet, la situation. Pleins de commerces et banque à proximité

Points négatifs: La lenteur du personnel de la réception même pour une simple question. Cela se retrouve dans tous les hôtels du Brésil apparemment mais dans un hôtel de ce standing ils devraient être plus pro actif et plus rapide.

Points positifs: Literie très confort. Chambre impeccable. Petit déjeuner très copieux !

Points négatifs: Personnel très peu aimable, notamment a l’arrivée au Check in ... à revoir

Points positifs: Accès facile à l'arrivée et au départ

Points positifs: the location and over all structure.

Points négatifs: the hotel was full for Rock n Rio but this was expected so they should be better prepared. breakfast was terrible, everything was gone, no reposition, really really bad. I've been here before and it was always a pleasure. this time I wonder if I'm ever going back. Bed shits were dirty, itchy, had SAND on them. I had to call in the middle of the night for them to be replaced. renovations on the floor with staff working at almost MIDNIGHT.

Points positifs: Rooftop and restaurants

Points négatifs: Gym - very small

Points positifs: excellent location, very kind and attentive staff, we will return for sure!

Points négatifs: In the first two days there was a strong smell of cigarette in the room, which was improving after... We have only that criticism..

Points positifs: Le personnel de chambre est très agréable, contrairement au personnel de la réception qui est d’une lenteur sans nom... la propreté et la localisation de l’hôtel sont un très bon atout. Le rooftop est aussi très agréable avec une super vue!

Points négatifs: Les couloirs interminables et le sentiment d’un hôtel-usine. Le fait de devoir attendre 14h passé pour le Check-in.

Points positifs: Location

Points négatifs: Cleaning and noise

Points positifs: Decent locations

Points négatifs: The front desk staff were horrendous, rude with attitude. Like it was a huge chore to help. The bar staff were so slow even when I was second in line. Took about 7 mins to make one of gin & tonic. Disastrous!!! The friendliest staff were the cleaners. No warning that the pool was having a refurb either.

Points positifs: Good location, grubby and in need of maintenance for a so called 4 star hotel

Points négatifs: The restaurant was terrible food, the waiter was very inexperienced didn’t ask how we wanted our meat cooked when it came it was like shoe leather, the room wasn’t very clean and I would called it an executive suite it just passed as large double. Being told that the swimming pool was closed a week before arriving wasn’t ideal when the hotel must of know that they were planning to close it well in advance to give the opportunity to rebook somewhere that had the facilities that you were paying for. Not even an apology was given, it seemed that once they took your money they couldn’t care less, no customer service at all

Points positifs: The Staff incredibly nice. Raquel, Alex, Alex the Front Desk agents shine, along with Housekeeping Staff to Restaurant Staff. Thank you All for making my staying experience so enjoyable.

Points positifs: Geat views from hotel. Nice restaurants and good food

Points négatifs: Rooms and corridors dark and not overly welcoming.p

Points positifs: Chambre très correct, petit déjeuner très bon, la piscine et son roof top restent juste magnifique. Vue imprenable sur Rio

Points négatifs: Le personnel n’est pas très disponible, ne parlent quasiment anglais. Nous avons souhaitez partir pour Ilha grande et organiser le transport via l’hôtel, une très mauvaise idée, ils n’ont pas compris ce que l’on voulais, et avons dû payer un complément avec l’agence qui organisait le transport. Par ailleurs, le temps d’attente pour commander une boisson est extrêment long.

Points positifs: Vue magnifique. Très calme malgré la proximité avec l'aéroport. Bon petit dej.

Points négatifs: Serviettes manquantes, nous avons dû aller en chercher une nous même. Même pas une bouteille d'eau gratuite pour un hôtel 4 etoiles... tout est payant. Carte en panne 2 fois.

Points positifs: The View from the rooftop where the breakfast is served is AMAZING! Excellent staff!

Points négatifs: Wish the sheets for the beds were properly fitted for the bed size. Also would like To have the rooftop Pool heated.

Points positifs: Le petit déjeuner La literie (lit king size) Emplacement Salle de sport

Points négatifs: La connexion internet très instable Petite piscine

Points positifs: L'emplacement au coeur des animations, la vue sur la cathédrale de la chambre (au 10ème) et celle de la piscine au 13ème, la chambre (pour 4) spacieuse, le bon petit-déjeuner, l'accès à 13h au lieu de 14, tous les services à côté.

Points négatifs: Le service un peu approximatif : cartes d'accès non fiables, serviettes manquantes, approvisionnement petit-déjeuner aléatoire, douche presque froide, lavabos à moitié bouchés, ascenseurs lents...

Points positifs: Literie, terrasse, emplacement, le petit déjeuner

Points négatifs: Nous avons eu un problème la première nuit (porte de notre chambre complètement arrachée) et nous avons du attendre après minuit pour qu'on nous donne une nouvelle chambre, pas vraiment d'excuses de la part du personnel pour ce désagrément

Points positifs: Hôtel de très bon rapport qualité prix. Personnel très gentil et serviable. Petit-déjeuner complet bien que peu varié. Emplacement idéal pour visiter le centre de Rio, avec commerces, restaurants et bars à proximité.

Points positifs: The staff was really kind and spoke good english, no portuguese was necessary.
