10/10 Exceptional

This is beautiful old colonial style house that has been turned into a boutique hotel. If you want to stay away from the beach area and hotel strip, this is a wonderful stay. It is very quiet and relaxing so keep that in mind when booking. The staff was amazing and helpful. Tip: book the higher level rooms for more space and better views.

The people really made our stay special. Always willing to help and go out of their way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Wish they had luggage racks in the room.

This will go down as one of the best properties we have ever stayed at and we have stayed at plenty across the world. It was even rated as one of the best places to stay in the world by Forbes in 2023. I have already started to look at the MGallery properties and am looking to stay with them as much as possible. So happy we ended our trip here!

This is my favorite get away in Rio. The grounds, pool area and buildings are just perfect. I hope they never change a thing. We checked in early and never left the hotel for 24 hours as the restaurant and bar on site are perfect. Thanks for an amazing time, and we will be back soon!
Todd, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was our second stay and we honestly can’t fault the exemplary service levels we received and the quality of food in Tereza Restaurant. The staff genuinely make you feel welcome and are so helpful. Whilst we appreciate renovations need to be undertaken, we hadn’t been informed before our arrival that the views across Rio would be obliterated by hoarding. The pool area wasn’t ideal for a relaxed stay which is why we’ve given a 4* rating. Please don’t be put off because MGallery offers a little bit of quiet paradise in frantic Rio!
