We really enjoyed our stay. The staff arranged our taxi from the airport, a nice friendly bloke was waiting for us which was a relief, after a long flight I didn't fancy negotiating public transport at night. The pousada is in a safe neighbourhood near both expensive and more budget food places. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming.... More

The accommodation was a bit pricey in Canadian standards but we had an amazing stay. The English speaking staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was neat and contained a safe, tv, fridge and air conditioning. Unlimited water was provided and the breakfast included a large selection of food. Our flight left late in the night and we were... More

This place grows on you, the first day or so it feels like a cheap Hotel but after a few days and meeting other travelers at breakfast you like it more. Great Service and Very Good Breakfast but the breakfast room can be crowded so you can not move, if you know people around it is fun. Room was very... More

We stayed here during our three days in Rio. I called Margarida from Holland the day before and found out that she didn't speak any english at all. :) But in the end via google translate and in my poor spanish we were able to make a reservation for the room. When we arrived we got a very basic but... More

We paid 120 US$ for a double room (breakfast incl.) in Ipanema, the most trendy area in Río. About 3 blocks away from the beach and ~20 minutes walk from the Ipanema metro station. We also booked their transfer service to and from the airport at a highly competitive price. The area is extremely safe, there're lots of restaurants and... More

We stayed at Margarida's Pousada at the end of October 2012. There were several pros and cons, but overall a great experience. The lady working at reception was phenomenal. She spoke English and provided us with guidance about the area, including calling a hang gliding company for me because of the language barrier. The pousada is conveniently located about equidistant... More
