Guest Reviews
- Julia (10/5): Außergewöhnlich schön - So eine einzigartig, schöne Unterkunft. Es war genial. Super liebe Leute die einen alles zeigen. Frühstück beste in ganz Brasilien. Tausend Dank für alles. Nichts
- Abaeté (1/5): Não é sujo mas é MUITO insalubre. - Localização em Santa Teresa Fica em uma curva ruim de desembarcar com as malas. O quarto disponibilizado tinha um esterilizador de ar que segundo a anfitriã seria para combater umidade (mas não era um desumidificador); na verdade era para minimizar ácaros e outros microoorganismos, como indica o manual do equipamento. A sensação de entrar no quarto é igual à sensação de entrar em uma biblioteca velha e empoeirada. Alérgicos devem passar MUITO longe deste lugar. Uma hora após o checkin comuniquei que não ficaria por esse motivo. Fui destratado, minha reclamação foi invalidada e ainda fui abordado de forma invasiva com intrusão de uma senhora no quarto enquanto eu arrumava as malas para ir para outro local. Tenho certeza que em Santa Teresa há locais melhores.
- Didier (9/5): Otimo lugar para quem gosta de arte e conforto. - A primorosa decoração do apartamento, mobillia, trabalho com as cores de parede e teto, e a banheira antiga no banheiro.
O ambioente 'galeria de arte'/ num casarão antigo no coração de S Tereza.
A simpatia da Taty, que nos recebeu. Nada,
- Jennifer (10/5): Magical stay in Santa Teresa, slow living near everything! - This little place is amazing, especially for lovers of art and everything modernist. Awesome location, amazing staff, interesting curated place and breakfast is to die for! This is my place in Rio! If I could stay longer…so welcoming, comfy, no pressure. Great for a bit of slow living in the city .
- Nascimento (10/5): - Uma experiência simplesmente encantadora. O espaço une conforto, arte e personalidade de uma forma única. Cada detalhe transmite cuidado e sensibilidade estética, criando uma atmosfera acolhedora. O quarto impecável e cheio de identidade. Foi impossível não me apaixonar pela proposta modernista e pela energia do lugar. Uma hospedagem que vai muito além de dormir bem: é viver uma experiência. Com certeza ficará na memória e quero voltar.
- jean-francois (9/5): - Charmante maison d’hôtes avec des chambres décorées avec goût et originales. Le quartier est calme et permet de rejoindre le centre-ville à pied par une belle balade.
- Rory (9/5): -
- Jorge Aguiar (7/5): Um bom hotel alternativo em Santa Teresa. - O quarto era bom e a cama confortável. O banheiro amplo com um bom chuveiro.
O atendimento ótimo (Lorena e Tati).
Boa localização. O café da manhã é servido só a partir das nove horas (ao meu ver muito tarde).
Os espaços comuns pareceu-me um tanto desorganizado.
A varanda anunciada é um espaço totalmente fechado.
- Mohamed Tawfeek (10/5): - I give them a good review because they were accommodating! When I arrived the gate was closed, no one was there. One guest let me in and I managed to call them! They said they didn't recieve my booking on Booking.com and that I arrived late after 18.00 due to an accident on the road!
However, they solved the situation by sending someone to prepare a room for me! Even though it was a single room and I booked double but it was the only room available! They also provided free breakfast the second day due to this error! The breakfast is exceptional!! All in all, I am satisfied with how they handled it! Improve communication with booking! Also the number they have on booking.com is not working or no one is answering it.

- Pamela (10/5): Un lugar muy lindo y personal muy amable - El personal fue muy amable, el lugar limpio, las comidas deliciosas. Sufrí el robo de mis pertenencias en otro lugar y aqui en el hospedaje me apoyaron mucho, Antonieta me prestó su telefono movil para poder comunicarme con mi familia y me senti muy protegida y tranquila. Lo recomiendo sin dudas!
- Marco (9/5): Encantadora! - O charme da pousada como um todo e conforto da cama!
- Bombardini (10/5): -
- lisa (9/5): Séjour dans ce lieu atypique avec une très bonne localisation et des hôtes super gentils et serviables ! - Atypique, la localisation, la gentillesse du personnel, la literie. La propreté est irréprochable Un peu bruyant et le fait que nous ne puissions pas réellement ouvrir les fenêtre mais cela n’a pas impacté la qualité du séjour
- Júlia (10/5): O melhor de Santa Teresa - A localização é perfeita, no coração de Santa Teresa, e a casa é linda. Você fica pertíssimo de tudo de melhor que o bairro oferece. O quarto, além de decorado com muito bom gosto, é extremamente confortável e equipado, com ar condicionado, e o atendimento é impecável. Não teve absolutamente nada de que não gostei. A estadia foi perfeita.
- Connor (10/5): The staff are very lovely and make you feel comfortable from the moment you check in. Well situated location - very inte - Very eccentric design - captivating
- Emerson (7/5): -
- Alejandra (10/5): -
- KARINE (10/5): - la décoration est superbe et le lit est particulièrement grand et confortable rien
- Oscar (7/5): Good for one night, wouldn’t stay longer - Friendly staff, artsy No window, sheets had stains, no ventilation in the bathroom, moldy in bathroom
- Stephan (10/5): Love Art - Het hartelijke, gastvrije personeel en het gevoel dat je deel mag uitmaken van de kunstenaarskolonie van Rio.
Prachtige thematische kamers, heerlijk verzorgd ontbijt, fantastische, centrale en toch zeer rustige en veilige ligging in het hart van Santa Theresa. Alles was perfect!
- Joana (10/5): Dormir num livro do Gabriel Garcia Marquez - É tudo tão maravilhoso que gostava de guardar o segredo só para os meus :)
É um sítio que sabe a casa e onde a D. Antonieta e a Taty nos trataram com todo o cuidado, carinho e atenção.
Todos os espaços são únicos e cheios de detalhes artísticos. É como dormir num livro do Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Com um pequeno almoço divinal.
Experimentámos 3 quartos porque íamos sempre a adiando a nossa estadia. Todos incrivelmente bonitos e confortáveis. O ter de vir embora :)
Diria que os acessos não são os mais fáceis para quem pretende ir à praia todos os dias. Mas nada que um uber ou táxi não resolva.
- Bartley (10/5): Comentário - Hospedagem foi excelente. Funcionários são muito educados. O local também funciona como uma galeria de arte. A casa tem uma decoração muito linda, tem toda a característica do bairro. Eu comi arquiteto, adorei e pretendo retornar! Único ponto que eu posso comentar, que nem é algo que eu não tenha gostado, mas apenas uma observação foi a lâmpada do abajur, poderia ser amarela ao invés de branca, para deixar o quarto mais aconchegante, mas isso é algo muito pessoal.
Que fique bem claro, é apenas uma opinião minha! Não é reclamação!
- tamara (10/5): Amazing stay!!! - Everything
- Arianna (10/5): - La posizione era nel cuore del quartiere di Santa Theresa. Ho soggiornato nei giorni di carnevale quindi era in una location ideale e mi sono sentita al sicuro. Lo staff è stato molto disponibile, attento e le ragazze parlavano perfettamente inglese. Brave! Molto piacevole la colazione servita nei tavolini all'aperto. La qualita' era ottima. Complimenti alla cuoca che era molto gentile e preparata
- Natasia (10/5): - The owner was so friendly and helpful!
- James (9/5): -
- Alexandra (6/5): Bon emplacement - Emplacement idéal pour le carnaval et découvrir toute la beauté du quartier santa Teresa Si vous aimez dormir dans la rue, vous y êtes presque !
Très mal insonorisé : bruit du tram, des voitures, des camions poubelles etc.
Bruit de la climatisation
Très très peu de lumière naturelle
- luigi (10/5): Perfect - This place is like a little gem in the core of Sant Teresa. Perfect location to move around, stuff super friendly and great vibes all around. Nothing peculiar, actually loved every part of it. Only things: during carnival there is a bloco nearby (which is super fun) but for this reason uber might take a while to accept requests.
- Suiane (10/5): - Café da manhã incrível!
- Britta (9/5): Toller Ort im Künstlerviertel - Tolles Frühstück und sehr netter Empfang durch Taty
- tamara (10/5): Amazing place - The vibes
- tamara (10/5): Loved staying here - Everything !
- Krisjanis (8/5): Great place to enjoy Santa Teresa vibe, but right distance to not to be disturbed by party noise. - Great location and stylish design. Room was quite dark with very little natural light.
- Marques Alves (7/5): -
- Somini (9/5): -
- Bianca (10/5): - The rooms are beautifully designed and the bathrooms are great--it was the best shower I had during the entire trip. The staff is very kind and helpful. It's located just around the bend from restaurants in Santa Theresa, making it easy to get coffee, lunch, or dinner.
- Sophia (10/5): -
- Kerstin (8/5): - Lage in Santa Teresa
- John (6/5): - Very nice people and it’s a cute concept of mixing lodging with an art gallery. It’s a little rough around the edges. It’s a bit more like a hostel than a hotel.
- Mengxuan (10/5): - 位置好,就在Santa Teresa小火车巡游路线上,周边社区很多涂鸦。接待人员很热情,房间很有设计感,住起来也很舒适。早餐也很美味。 无
- micaela (6/5): -
- Liz (8/5): - Lençóis de cama encardidos.
- Ma e Lu (10/5): - Ficamos no quarto Di Cavalcanti. A cama e o enxoval, assim como o chuveiro são maravilhosos. Para quem quer se hospedar em Santa Teresa, a localização é excepcional, a poucos passos do Largo do Guimarães. A casa é lindíssima. E Telma, pura gentileza. Não há.
- janbon (10/5): -
- lysiane (10/5): - Tout!!!! Exceptionnel et c'est assez rare que je dise ça mais là franchement tout était parfait !
- maria cecilia (8/5): -
- Ximena (8/5): -
- Pechell (8/5): - Le quartier très bohème et le côté artiste Les pentes!
- Laura Estela (10/5): -
- Hector (1/5): Pésima atención - Llegué aproximadamente las 17:30 y lancasa estaba cerrada. Intenté comunicarme con el local por 15 minutos desde la calle, sin ninguna respuuesta. Recien a las 20 hs recibí un mensaje que atienden hasta las 18 hs. Insólito ya que en ningun momento recibí antes alguna comunicacion.
Lo peor de todo que me cobraron
- Daniela (6/5): - Tolle neue Dusche, gute Lage in der nähe mehrerer Bars, und trotzdem ruhig. Gute, schnelle Kommunikation mit Vermieterin. Die Räume haben kein Tageslicht, da die Fenster alle mit Farbe überstrichen wurden. Schade um die Atmosphäre des,ansonsten schönen Altbaus.
Die Empfangsfrau war nicht ganz vertrauenserweckend, etwas launisch und hat uns mit Alkoholfahne empfangen.
- Karina (10/5): Excelente hospedaje - La decoración es hermosa, estuve en la habitación inspirada en Tarsila do Amaral y es uno de los lugares más hermosos y cómodos donde me he hospedado. Además, todas las personas que trabajan allí fueron muy amables conmigo, en especial Antonieta y Aurora.
Si bien está en Santa Teresa a pasos de bares y restaurantes, no hay mucho ruido si es que se quiere dormir temprano.

- Alexandra (10/5): Tout parfait - Tout parfait. Localisation proche des attractions de Santa Teresa.
Petit déjeuner très copieux et avec des produits frais.
- Boudewijn Brans (8/5): - Schattige, zeer behulpzame gastvrouw. Mooie kamer. Netflix. Geen ontbijt, wel koffie als je het vraagt. Was wat vergeten, keurig teruggevonden en opgehaald. Zeer vlotte communicatie met berichten, in Engels Lage douchekop. Straatverkeer op kasseien: kamer aan voorkant, mss minder bij andere kamers

- Mariana (10/5): -
- Manasa (10/5): - Gorgeous rooms and furniture, loved it!!
- Alessia (9/5): - Fantastica pousada nel quartiere di Santa Teresa. L’atmosfera è davvero particolare, tra opere d’arte e murales. Accoglienza impeccabile!
- Manon (10/5): Fabuleux séjour - Le lieu est une pause artistique. Un endroit calme apaisant et très bien placé pour visiter Santa Theresa.
L'accueil y est chaleureux convivial et caféiné, servi avec la générosité, le sourire Brésilien. Rien
- Alix (9/5): -
- Amy (10/5): It was wonderful! - The staff at Modernistas Arte are lovely and took such good care of me while I was staying there. The hotel is small and has a local feel to it, blending in well with its surroundings in Santa Teresa. Breakfast was wonderful in the garden, and my room was clean and comfortable and safe. I really enjoyed my time there ~ thank you to everyone at Modernistas Arte! I quite thoroughly enjoyed my stay there, so I have nothing to contribute to this section.
- Jean-Christophe (10/5): -
- Keegan (10/5): 10/10 FABULOUS - Perfect The owners
- Hadassah (9/5): Wonderful Stay in Historic Santa Teresa - A truly special place—beautiful art, a warm and inspiring host, and a great location in the heart of Santa Teresa. Everything came together to make it a memorable and relaxing stay. Highly recommended!
- Xavier (9/5): Allotjament bonic al cor de Santa Teresa - Situat a Santa Teresa és un allotjament bonic i únic en un edifici d’acord amn el barri i decorat de manera exquisita per la seva propietària, sempre molt amable i disposada a ajudar amb tot. Una experiència molt recomanable a Río, al cor d’un barri amb molta personalitat i amb restaurants i vida nocturna a tocar. L’establiment però és molt tranquil. El barri també es veu molt segur. Només cal tenir en compte que no és al centre de la ciutat i que caldrà taxis o Uber per anar i tornar o caminar una mica tenint en compte que hi ha molta pujada.
- Antonia (9/5): - Warm and welcoming.
Room was spacious and comfortable.
Excellent location to enjoy Santa Teresa neighbourhood Wish there was more natural light in the room
- Matthias (10/5): Exceptional - A unique and beautiful boutique hotel in an area of Rio that felt cozy, alternative and safe(r). The room gave the impression of a noble, well-aged saloon that was taken care of with love. The other half of the building is a modernist art gallery (hence the name) with lots of interesting pieces; gallery and hotel share a colourful patio which saw people having a relaxed coffee. The team was super friendly, helpful, had a great personal vibe and made me feel at home. The rest of my group stayed at the Copacabana, but I enjoyed very much this little refuge on the hill, with some very good bars/coffees/restaurants just a few minutes away and the historic tramway passing in front of the window. Would definitely come back. The only thing I wish I had known before: Since the streets are bumpy and go steep uphill, it sometimes took a while to find an Uber driver willing to go to Santa Teresa, where the hotel is located, at least during the week. (On the weekends, there is more life in the bars of the area and therefore more clients.) Walking would not be recommended either and the tramway is just for sightseeing purposes, so Uber or Taxi it is. The stay was absolutely worth it, but this should be kept in mind.
- Linxiong (8/5): Very good - Everything except location The location looks great in the center of the city but you can’t walk to anywhere. You must take a taxi to anywhere. So it’s isolated.
- Andrea (10/5): beautiful, comfortable stay in the heart of Santa Teresa - Beautiful place, lovely staff, incredibly comfortable bed and the bathtub was a brilliant bonus! I loved it and hope to come back again soon. Nothing - it was great all round
- Patrick (9/5): Superb -
- Patrick (9/5): Superb -
- Mackenzie (10/5): - Super cen
- Tracey (9/5): Superb -
- Ilayda (10/5): one of my fave stays in Brazil - I absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely be a place to return. The friendliness of the home owners and the staff really adds to the experience. The interior is very stylish, also the room is very comfortable, location is also so so good. nothing
- Lauren (10/5): Beautiful, affordable, would recommend - It's really beautiful and in a gorgeous neighborhood, very bohemian. The bedrooms were wow gorgeous and such good value There's lots of mosquitoes- but they provide repellant. A net in the room would be a nice option
- Roessler (10/5): Exceptional - I liked the style of the room and it was very clean.
- Priscila (10/5): Exceptional - Decoracao linda, excelente localizacao e super seguro
- Dounia (10/5): Exceptional - Antonietta the property manager was lovely! Always helpful and smily
- Dounia (10/5): Exceptional - comfy beds, very clean, lovely Antonietta
- Chuck (10/5): Always a great experience - Great accommodations and exceptional service.
- Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Teun (9/5): Superb - Great stay, would revisit. Tip!
- Crossland (9/5): Excellent property. - The property was decorated in a beautiful style. Stunning artwork and furniture throughout. Extremely clean, nice bed linen and towels, and good products provided (including bottled water). We booked a room with a balcony and received one on the ground floor with shuttered windows only.
- Max (10/5): Exceptional - It was a lovely stay! I was made to feel very welcome by Antonietta, the room was very comfortable and the food and drink from the cafe was delicious. It’s also in the perfect location to get to the cool restaurants and bars in Santa Teresa.
- Yeshtha (10/5): One of the best stays ❤️ - Everything, Antoineta was fantastic she's so sweet and adorable and she made sure I understood everything and showed me how to unlock the doors to ensure I can get back. The room was very spacious with a huge bed and it looked great. Bathroom was amazing, hot water and great pressure very clean.
The breakfast is delicious and one of the best I've had in brazil so far.
I had a great stay here and would definitely come back N/A
- Lilian (10/5): LOVED our stay, will def be back!! - Best staff, best breakfast, amazing location!
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Clara (10/5): - Minha casa longe de casa!
- LAURA (6/5): Proposta interessante porém entrega pouco - Tudo começou com a insistência de saber a que horas faríamos o check in. Eu havia informado um horário, mas ocorreu um contratempo e tive que chegar mais tarde. Recebi um whatsApp informando que me esperariam até às 15:00, quando na semana anterior, eu havia confirmado e o check in ia até às 17:00. Informei o contratempo e me responderam: "ok!".
Chegando lá, fomos instalados na suite Tarcila do Amaral, supostamente temática, mas só tinha um imã de geladeira do Abaporu... de resto era um quarto normal. O check in foi feito às pressas, pois não me solicitaram preencher nada...
Saímos e voltamos para dormir. Na manhã do Check out, uma funcionária revolveu bater papo às 8:00 da manhã na porta do quarto... o som parecia dentro do nosso quarto.
- Aiha (10/5): - Very unique accommodations that's part of an art gallery. The proprietor (Thelma) and staff (Mateo) were both amazing and friendly and we chatted (via google translate). Thelma also made a beautiful breakfast!
- Christopher (10/5): A true gem in a perfect area. Loved our stay! - The Modernistas hotel is a true gem. We're an American couple who were staying in Rio for one evening. The hotel is small, adorable, unique, and in a terrific area, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and clubs within walking distance. It's also only a short cab ride to famous Rio destinations, including Ipanema, Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, etc.
Do keep in mind that this is a very unique establishment and won't be a good fit for some travelers. The rooms are bizarre (but in a good way!) and it's all old-school. For example, you get a set of keys for getting in and out of the place, with no keycards or other fancy systems. There's no room service, no full restaurant, no pool, etc. If you are looking for those types of things, this isn't the place for you.
If what you're looking for is a unique establishment to spend a nite or two at, this is a terrific fit. This is perfect for travelers like us who spend as little time as possible at the hotel and enjoy something different.
One more thing to note: the rooms have very, very high cielings and are cooled by a mini-split. With Rio's temps easily getting up to 100F, the little machine needs to work pretty hard to keep the room cool. We were comfortable, but if you want your room to be an icebox, you won't be happy.
Finally, the woman who owns/runs the place is incredibly sweet. We speak very little Portuguese and she speaks very little English, but she was patient and friendly while showing us the ropes. Would stay again!
- Chuck (10/5): Great hotel - Always a great stay here. Home away from home.
- Arthur (10/5): - My room was accessible in the foyer-like lobby adjacent to the art gallery. The door appears to be an extension and people may try to walk-in so best to look your door with a little turn-key in a key hole. My room was large and fit a king bed with room for a night stand a a desk. The bathroom was sizable also. There's a door covered in small mirrors that open to a very cute private patio. Also there are literary quotes printed on the walls from a popular author.
- Marie- Louise (8/5): - Alles prima, ich war nur der einzige Gast, daher etwas einsam
