Frommer's "The fabulous location -- just 1 block from Ipanema beach, in the heart of the neighborhood's trendy gay section -- is why so many stay here." Full review

"Over a hundred rooms, almost on the beach and with a sizable rooftop pool it has much to offer, yet in places it feels weary and in need of some love and attention." Full review
Fodor's "In the heart of Ipanema's shopping and dining district...this hotel has standard accommodations and in-room amenities but a great rooftop view—a postcard shot of Corcovado and the lagoon. " Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice

Time Out "Englishman Bob Nadkarni's inn has developed mythical status as much for its amiable raconteur owner as the monthly word-of-mouth jazz nights." Full review
Rough Guide "The most interesting place to stay in Rio, designed and run by the BBC’s former Rio correspondent, and famous for its jazz nights."
The Telegraph7.0
"Without a doubt the most original place to stay in Rio, the Maze is a home, a music venue, an art gallery and an institution tucked away at the top of a favela." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"A fantastic place to overnight for those looking for an alternative view of Rio. The rooms are uniquely decorated... while the veranda offers stunning views of the bay and Pão de Açúcar." Full review
