DK Eyewitness "This beachside fourstar hotel is the Ipanema representative of the Best Western chain. Rooms are a little small with standard hotel furnish ings. The higher floors are quieter."
Time Out "The rooms are clean, well equipped and unremarkable affairs, but if you have the beach view and the sun is out then the lack of luxury indoors is probably going to be the least of your considerations." Full review
Star Service "Fronting a police post in the heart of Ipanema beach, one block from the famous Girl from Ipanema bar, near popular cafes and fashionable shops, this...hotel has an unbeatable location." Full review
National Geographic "Opposite the Posto 9 lifeguard station; one block from Garota de Ipanema bar." Full review

Frommer's "For a very different hotel experience, consider spending a few nights in the quaint hilltop neighborhood of Santa Teresa." Full review
Concierge "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
Travel + Leisure "Far away from the crowds on Copacabana, Mama Ruisa is a small yet sophisticated boutique hotel tucked into the hills of Santa Teresa, Rio's burgeoning artists' district." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This tropical boutique hotel has a palm-lined pool and impressive views, but the colonial splendour of the huge rooms is the real draw." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"French-owned Mama Ruisa aims for bohemian chic in its seven spacious, uniquely designed guest rooms" Full review
