Lonely Planet
"Atlantis' rooms are clean and perfectly serviceable, but the whole place could use an update. The location, however – a short walk to either Ipanema or Copacabana beach – is excellent." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Although the airconditioned rooms are simple, the location of this hotel could not be better – it is set in a quiet, safe area just a 2-minute walk from Copacabana and Ipanema beaches."

"A colonial-style house in the leafy hillside district of Santa Teresa provides the backdrop for Mama Ruisa, a design-minded B&B that offers personalized service."
DK Eyewitness
"A charming, understated boutique hotel in a converted 18th-century mansion house in Santa Teresa. Each room is named after a different French cultural icon."
Time Out
"Another beautifully-restored Santa Teresa mansion, this time courtesy of Frenchman Jean-Michel Ruis who keeps a hands-on approach to the running of the hotel and the comfort of his guests." Full review
