A TV nao funcionava. Peguei todas as minhas coisas e fui para um outro quarto no 2o. andar. Quando fui descer para jantar. Eu tomei um susto: MORCEGO voou na minha cabeça. Ele estava em cima da porta do quarto, porque o corredor é escuro. Eu falei isso no hotel e a resposta que eu tive: Morcegos sao comuns em Santa Tereza. Indagei sobre a tela no restaurante. Ha pombos e morcegos! O apto (o segundo apto) estava sujo e fui perceber quando fui deitar. O lençol estava sujo de sangue, o edredom também. E cansada, ja tarde, eu tive que pedi para trocar. Alem disso, havia aranhas no canto do quarto e teia no lustre. A iluminação do quarto é mais baixa, por conta da decoração. E mesmo assim era perceptível aranhas no quarto.Isso me mostrou falta de cuidado e limpeza.Desgate! Dormi muito mal. No dia seguinte pela manha, eu solicitei mudança de quarto. O hotel gentilmente pediu desculpas e mudou meu quarto. Ou seja, era o 3o.quarto que eu iria. No 3o. quarto a ventoinha do banheiro estava quebrada e nao desligava. O barulho ficou permanente.Em duas noites, passei por três quartos! A sensação que tenho é que no começo o hotel foi bacana e agora precisa de muita manutenção. Nao recomendo. ##### CHRISTIANI Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Li 25 Jan 2020 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect in Rio Nice location on a quiet part of the main street in St Theresa filled with restaurants and bars. When we got the room it was not properly clean and there was only a bed, no where to put clothes or other stuff. The staff was however super friendly and we got a rack/rail to hang our clothes on and they recleaned the room. Wonderful breakfast. Nice common areas. ##### Li Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Jan 2020 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness The property was lovey but there were ants everywhere on the floor ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthiad, Melbourne 23 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The best fresh bread for breakfast, I have ever had in a hotel!!

For the price we paid it’s a bargain of a hotel. Safe to walk about the streets and the tram runs along the top of the street which is about a 6 min walk from the hotel. Brilliant quirky hotel With great breakfast and funky rooms, amazing bar, pool table and outside space. No pool but we only stayed 1 night so it didn’t bother us. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Sebastian 5 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Great hub to explore Rio.

Es war aus unserer Sicht der ideale Ausgangspunkt für das Erkunden der "nördlichen" Stadtteile Centro, Gloria, zur Christus Statue und eben Santa Teresa sowie Lapa. Die Umgebung bringt den authentischen Charme von Rio rüber, hier reiht sich keineswegs ein Kettenhotel ans andere. Fußläufig gibt es zahlreiche Bars, Cafés und nette Straßen zu entdecken, u.a. die typische Straßenbahn "Bonde". Das Hotel an sich ist größer als man denkt bzw. mitbekommt, wem man wie wir im vorderen Gebäudekomplex untergebracht wird. Leider war unser Zimmer sehr hellhörig, die Geräusche der Straße sowie der Bar sind ständige Geräuschkulisse. Dies war der einzige Nachteil, sowie vllt. noch die vielen Steckmücken im Innenhof. Ansonsten ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt, ein gutes, wenn auch nicht super gutes Frühstücksbüffet. Das Personal ist sehr nett. Insgesamt hat es uns bei Mama Shelter sehr gut gefallen, sehr stylisch, wenn auch nicht alle Zimmer so durchgestylt sind wie auf den Fotos. Gerne wieder! ##### Andreas Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie, München, Bayern 9 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wer im wundervollen Viertel Santa Teresa übernachten möchte, hat mit dem Mama Shelter die beste Wahl! Es gibt nicht viele Hotels in Santa Teresa und bis es das Mama gab leider zwei Extreme: Absteige oder viel zu teuer. Im Mama Shelter kann man für einen angemessenen Preis super übernachten! Manche Gäste bemängeln, es sei ihnen nicht genug "Hotel" gewesen sondern eher "Hostel". Wer auf klassische Hotel-Häuser steht, mag das so sehen. Ich persönlich wusste die offene Gestaltung des Hotels, aber auch der Kommunikation sehr zu schätzen und war froh, dass es keinen angestrengten Hotel-Charakter hatte. Das Frühstück stärkt einen gut für lange Tage in Rio, die Betten waren sehr bequem. Zwei Sachen, die ich als negativ bewerten würde: Kein Schrank/wirkliche Ablagemöglichkeit im Zimmer und der Pool wäre noch das i-Tüpfelchen! ##### Natalie Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### robert 6 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very helpful and friendly staff with good local knowledge and recommendations Area is interesting, a bit of a hike if you’re going to the beaches ##### robert Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JFK, Essen 1 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nettes Hotel mit Charme. Passt wunderbar in den Stadtteil Santa Teresa. Etwas außerhalb, aber dank Uber immer leicht zu erreichen. Leider ist die Klimaanlage sehr laut und der Haartrockner ein Scherz. Ansonsten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. ##### JFK Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felix 19 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great choice in Santa Teresa This hotel was amazing, perfectly located and very well decorated. I have nothing negative to mention for the room they gave us. The restaurant is good but the service is awful. Please improve that, it was really frustrating. ##### Felix Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Thainá 11 Nov 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort h ##### Thainá Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a really cool accommodation. Super quirky, the design features are great. It’s located right in the heart of the very trendy Santa Teresa. My friend and I, two female travellers felt safe walking around in the area where it’s situated. There is 24 hour security on the door too. Breakfast was good and regularly replenished and we had the pizza here for dinner one evening too which was really tasty and I’d highly recommend. The only downfalls we found about this hotel is the lack of lighting in the room which made getting ready in the evening quite a challenge. The room lighting is extremely dim. The only other thing was the absence of a room fridge which we’d had everywhere else we’d stayed in Rio but it was just a minor thing that would’ve been nice to have. Other than that, We had a great stay and the staff were all so lovely and helpful! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 27 Sept 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Personnel très accueillant et à l’écoute. Hall et quartier très jolie. Chambre simple. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 13 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mama Took Care of Me Mama Shelter is located in an old, colonial part of Rio de Janeiro on a hill I'd guess 500 ft. above the city. The views are spectacular on the 007 bus heading downtown on winding roads from the Largo de Guimaraes (community business center). Breakfast is complimentary and offers a broad array of hot and cold selections. Front desk staff were happy to answer my travel questions in English although I always spoke a few words in Portuguese. Access to the metro requires a long hike or a bus or taxi ride down the hill to Gloria or one of the other downtown metro stations. Santa Teresa (the colonial community where Mama Shelter is located) offers a lot to interest a traveler in itself. Downtown, of course, offers even more. The famous southern beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon are located about eight subway stops south of Gloria. I did not ask the hotel to provide transportation to/from the international airport although I understand they will. My stay at the Mama Shelter was a pleasant one. Mama took care of me. ##### William Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn 5 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hipsterhotel Hipster hotell i den herlige bydelen Santa Theresa.

Foi tudo ótimo!! É a segunda vez que me hospedo no Mama Shelter e gosto muito de tudo! Apenas um contratempo com vazamento na mangueira do chuveiro do vaso do banheiro, que inundou o piso em poucos minutos após o uso.. é preciso que a equipe do hotel esteja atenta para fazer uma revisão detalhada de tudo, antes de disponibilizar o quarto ao hóspede trazendo um incômodo desta natureza. No restaurante, a atendente que nos serviu poderia ser mais suave, sorrir mais, transmitir gostar de lidar com pessoas.. talvez um pouco mais de treinamento, apenas isso. ##### JOSÉ Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 13 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Parfait!
