My stay at L'Homme De Rio had its ups and downs. The boutique hotel offers a unique charm with quirky decor and a beautiful rooftop pool, but the location near the favela and some maintenance issues made me feel uneasy. While I had a spacious suite, I was disappointed with problems like broken balcony doors. The staff, however, were fantastic and accommodating throughout my experience, which I truly appreciated.

The suite I stayed in was spacious and clean with a balcony offering a charming view, but the sliding doors didn't lock and the safe was broken. I did appreciate the clawfoot tub, despite there being no proper shower, just a hose attachment.

Service

The staff were genuinely caring and accommodating, upgrading my room when I raised concerns and even allowing for a flexible check-out. They made my experience much better than it could have been given the circumstances.

The hotel is perched on a hill, which offers a nice view but makes access to the beach a challenge. I found it a bit sketchy returning home at night due to its proximity to the favela, which affected my sense of security.

It's centrally located between Ipanema and Copacabana, but the steep hill and proximity to the favela gave me pause. I didn't feel entirely safe outside, especially at night, which made getting taxis a challenge.

The hotel is nestled on a hill, which offers great views, but it is also right at the entrance of a favela. This made me feel uneasy at times, especially when returning at night, as taxis were hesitant to drop me off.

The hotel is situated on a hill close to the beach, but the surrounding area felt unsafe, especially at night, which really impacted my comfort. Despite being close to Ipanema and Copacabana, it's best approached with caution.

Breakfast was simple yet enjoyable, with delicious pastries and fresh fruit. I did wish there was a wider variety of options without extra charges for egg dishes, especially considering the price of the stay.

The rooftop pool and terrace provided a fantastic ambiance and great views, but I struggled with lots of stairs around the hotel, which could be challenging for those with mobility issues.
