Hotels in Leme - Rio de Janeiro

Positiv:: Awesome location, perfectly safe in foothills of favela.

Positiv:: A friendly, welcoming hostel with a great family vibe. I booked this as it had such great reviews & wanted to stay near to the beach for a few nights & im so glad I did.. great views, in an interesting but safe favela, great private room, very modern, hot shower, balcony with a hammock, lovely breakfast included with homemade bread & cakes, & a wonderful meal & drinks up on the roof available on Saturday & Sunday’s. Super friendly & helpful owners. Highly recommend.

Positiv:: I just adore this hostel! I was in it a year ago before the carnival, and I came back this year bringing my parents. They immediately felt the same as me - relax and a friendly atmosphere. The area around the hostel is the Babilonia favela, but do not worry. I never felt threatened. At Aquarela do Leme you never get bored. Owners and volunteers always suggest trips and interesting events in the evening, for example: learning Forro dance. When you come a steep hill down and up your condition will be better than before you go for holidays (exercised legs muscles for free :) ). If you need anything, they will always help you! And the breakfast is simply delicious, with homemade cakes! If you do not feel like going out in the evening and want to relax - an amazing rooftop awaits you. The view is beautiful, and in the evening you can lie on comfortable couches, drink Caipirinha and take part in the quiz or simply enjoy your stay in the most beautiful city in the world - Rio de Janeiro. See you soon :)

Positiv:: Hostel is clean, enough bathrooms and toilets. Comfortable beds with enough shelves and big locker. Nice and social atmosphere. Great views from the rooftop. Lively and nice neighbourbood.

Positiv:: Lage , Frühstück , Design und vor allem die beiden Besitzer mit einer ewigen guten Laune und Hilfsbereitschaft

Positiv:: Very nice, very friendly. Private cubicles/bunk beds were really nice.

Positiv:: Loved everything. Will come back for sure if I come to Rio again!

Positiv:: Die Besitzer waren super lieb und Thibaut hat uns viele wertvolle Tipps gegeben und war sehr/ muito/ very/ très/ mycket hilfsbereit - nochmal Danke dafür :). Die Lage ist super, das Frühstück war lecker, das Bett bequem und der Ausblick vom Balkon richtig schön. Wir würden bzw. werden sofort wiederkommen, sobald es die Zeit erlaubt. ;)

Positiv:: The beautiful pictures of the property are no exaggeration! Aquarela do Leme is one of the most excellent, clean, beautiful hostels I have ever stayed at. I loved the location in Leme - extremely close to Copacabana and other beaches but more intimate and slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the main strip. The owners were extremely kind and hospitable. They made great recommendations for seeing the city and personally organized trips to local venues (like a great forro dance bar in Lapa).

Positiv:: I was mindblown by the beauty of this hostel. the favela it is located in, is such a marvelous, colorful und pretty place with loads incredibly kind and lovely people. The hostel has a great view over all the city and nice rooftop terrace. Super comfortible beds with big luggage lockers, plugs, lights and dark curtains for privacy. all rooms got huge balconies, beautiful bathrooms with hairdriers and a lot of space. Shampoo and shower gel are provided too. The breakfast is a dream with homemade jams, peanutbutter, cake, homemade bread, cheese , meat, so much fresh fruit, several kinds of homemade lemonade, cereals, great coffee. What makes the hostel so special are the lovely staff and the incredibly lovely owner family. I planned to stay only four days but trippled my stay as it was so nice. Only a 5 min walk the beautiful beach of Copacabana, 7 min to the metro and so close to the sugar loaf mountain. A true delight, thanks for creating such a great place that feels like home on the road.

Positiv:: Excellent location Tasty breakfast Great staff Thanks to David and Nacho for all recommendations and tours. Big thanks to all other staff :) I'll come again for sure :)

Positiv:: Overall good value for money and great time. Met good people at the hostel. Owners are extremely helpful with travel tips, and even exchanging small amounts of money.

Positiv:: Wir waren zu Beginn unseres Brasilien-Urlaubs vier Nächte im Windsor Leme und am Schluss nochmals eine Nacht. Unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Hervorheben möchten wir das sehr freundliche Personal, die sehr großen und sauberen Zimmer und die Lage am Strand in Leme, in unmittelbarer Nähe der Copacabana, jedoch etwas ruhiger. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war jedenfalls im Zeitraum Ende Juli sehr gut. Deshalb eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.

Positiv:: Das Hotel liegt direkt an der Copacabana verfügt über alle wünschenswerten Einrichtungen und ist gut organisiert

Positiv:: Staff, they are great and made our holiday extra special. Pool and views amazing. Rooms lovely. Location good. Breakfast excellent.

Positiv:: Overall, this hotel was very nice. Our room was clean and comfortable. Our only issue with the room was the air-conditioning was hard to adjust to our liking. We finally opened the window at night to get a comfortable temperature. The hotel staff and facilities were great. the hotel location was close to good restaurants.

Positiv:: The location was very good, restaurants and stores were nearby. It was on the quiet end of Copacabana. The rooftop was very good, it provided excellent views of Copacabana and you could see Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf mountain. The location was excellent.

Positiv:: The location. Breakfast is good

Positiv:: Staff at the hotel are amazing, nothing is too much trouble for them and they are so friendly. Rooms are lovely, spacious and clean. Rooftop pool has incredible views. Breakfast excellent. Absolutely loved the hotel and location was great, straight opposite the beach but the quieter area.

Positiv:: I liked my room and the location, it was very pleasant. The small pool and bar on the roof was a nice bonus, its very nice for sunsets and relaxing away from busy streets. The majority of the staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Positiv:: Location,staff and the roof top are a plus

Positiv:: Breakfast was excellent, lots of variety and staff at breakfast very friendly and attentive. Nice large room, comfortable bed and very clean. Pool area on top floor nice and a decent gym for a hotel gym, more of a cardio gym though. Decor is a little dated and could use an update but still nice.

Positiv:: Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und die Lage hervorragend.

Positiv:: Gutes Frühstück,frisches Obst und guter Kaffee. Gute Betten mit 3 verschiedenen Kopfkissen pro Person. Dachterrasse im 19.Stock mit tollem Ausblick.

Positiv:: the experience in the favela is priceless and the staff awesome

Positiv:: The owner, the view, the restaurant, the room... all those topics were amazing and you definitely should have this experience!

Positiv:: The location is superb. The panoramic view is amazing. The beach is very close, too. I loved doing yoga at the viewpoint (Mirador).

Positiv:: Where to start?! We absolutely loved our visit and wish we could have stayed longer. The atmosphere was so relaxing and the hostel is set in a corner of paradise. Yes it is a steep walk/hike up through the favela but the locals are cool and and no point did we feel in danger. The wall art is worth the walk alone. Pol is one of the most fascinating men we have ever met. He gave us a history of the favela and why the community protect it. Thank you! I wish we could have taken Pipoca the doggy into the next stage if our travels bus alas Bibi would not allow it! Visit with an open mind and an open heart and you will leave better for it.

Positiv:: Before arriving, I received a message from the host. He said me that I could check in before the usual hour because the room wasn’t empty. Furthermore, he proposed to me to book a taxi direct at the airport. Somebody was waiting for me with a name on a paper! And it was a really good price. At the arriving in the Pousada, Bibi (the host) was very very nice and explained during 1 hour all we had to know about Rio and the area we were. Perfect experience near from the beach of Leme with a view on the Corcovado and Copacabana beach

Positiv:: A great experience in a great place with great people! Bibi, the owner, is an amazing person, with a real history of involvment for the favela. She's a shinny women with a big heart and a wonderful soul! Thanks for this perfect moment of local life! :)

Positiv:: The view is excellent and the living in the favela was amazing (and very safe).

Positiv:: Das Hotel ist liebevoll und bunt gestaltet mit viel künstlerischen Dingen die über Brasilien erzählen Großartige Terrasse mit Blick zum Meer. Die Besatzung (wir haben Bianca, Federico, Pilar kennengelernt) ist ungeheuer liebenswürdig und gelassen, aufmerksam und immer hilfsbereit. Man fühlt sich wie in einer Familie. Das war umso erstaunlicher, als wir in einer besonderen Konstellation, nämlich als Mutter und Sohn (22) gereist sind. Obwohl ich als Oldie unterwegs war, fühlte ich mich auch bei den Gästen niemals als Außenseiter sondern freundlich integriert

Positiv:: Staff were really lovely. The location is great: it’s up in the favela, but in the safe part and has awesome water views. Really convenient to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.

Positiv:: First, the view was amazing! Then I liked that the hostel was located deep in the community! I saw life of the locals there.
