Was very satisfied with the staff, the room and the overall stay. I forgot to get the woman’s name who worked the front desk but she was incredibly nice and hospitable. I will remember her kindness. She and the rest of the staff made my time at Les Jardins a very memorable one. If I needed help with something or requested something, they were on top of it! Highly recommend this beautiful place

Be wary of later arrivals!

The most ridiculous (non) check in experience I have ever had. Numerous attempts to convey I would arrive later in the evening and for them to make arrangements. They said yes. I arrived @ 22:05, and it was like Marie Celeste, the lights were on, door open, but no-one there. Eventually I found an English couple staying at the hotel, who helped me get a key for an unoccupied room, so I didn’t have to sleep in a chair in reception. I also cut my foot stepping on a piece of glass on the floor in my room. On the positive the gardens are nice, the building is quite pleasant, though lots of steps!!, and the pool was very nice.

From the moment we stepped into Les Jardins de Rio Boutique Hotel, we felt right at home. The hospitality here is truly exceptional. The person at the front desk goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and is available at all times. The attentive staff ensures that every need is met promptly and with a smile. This small, quaint hotel has the charm of staying in a museum, with beautifully decorated art rooms, fascinating artifacts, and stunning architecture. The atmosphere is relaxing and unhurried, allowing guests to fully unwind and enjoy their stay. One of the highlights of our visit was the breathtaking views from the rooftop, where you can soak in the beauty of Rio de Janeiro. We were also delighted to see monkeys from our porch, adding a unique touch to our experience. Special mention to Kadosh, one of the exceptional employees, who is incredibly attentive and prepares the best breakfast we’ve ever had. His dedication to ensuring guests have a pleasant stay is truly commendable. Overall, Les Jardins de Rio Boutique Hotel offers a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and outstanding service. Highly recommended for anyone looking to feel at home while exploring the wonders of Rio.

I had a calm and peaceful stay at Les Jardins de Rio. I was the only guest at the time and loved the intimate, retreat‑like atmosphere, with sunrise and beautiful views from the rooftop. Breakfast was specially prepared each morning with great attention to detail, and there was always coffee left out for the day. The hospitality was genuinely welcoming and accommodating: every request was met promptly, I was also given plenty of space to relax on my own, and the manager kindly shared tips about the area even though she doesn’t speak English and my Portuguese is limited. My room was beautiful with stunning views, and the sunken bathtub felt like a private spa experience. Everything felt clean, safe, and much nicer than some older reviews suggested. 10/10 – I would happily stay here again.

Very disappointed. The property itself is nice. The rooms have spider webs. The hot water is hit and miss. Some days you get it and other days you don't. Breakfast is skimpy at best. There are 80 steps I had to take with two 20 kg bags. That is just insane. They don't tell you that at the time of booking. Also, the description of the Azul room is incorrect on Expedia. This room is NOT 568 square feet. Expedia shows free breakfast but the hotel wants to charge you for breakfast. Overall I would not stay here.

Les Jardins is a charming place with beautiful gardens and quiet despite being in Rio! However, it is isolated in streets that are not safe at night; all travel to and from has to be done by Uber.I Only breakfast is provided; all other food has to be ordered online and delivered, although the staff are willing to do the ordering. Breakfast is also served very late - not till 9am. And the room was not cleaned during my stay - apparently I had to ask for this. It was billed as a 4 star hotel but I would say it id more of a stylish pension/b&b. I was the only person staying there.

Couldn't even get in!!!!

We arrived at the hotel shortly after 8pm in a mega rain storm..... and we couldn't get in. We buzzed, we yelled and knocked, we called 3 times, and there was no one to recieve us. We stood there for almost 30 mins, in a downpour, in front of the door, and it was terrible. We paid over 100usd and I am livid! We have called more than a dozen times and no answer. I am demanding a refund, and a way for the hotel to make this terrible experience correct.

A melhor opção no Rio

Se preparem para uma experiência única no Rio de Janeiro. O hotel é muito intimista, praticamente dentro da mata e com uma vista privilegiada do Cristo. Os funcionários são incríveis. Quero destacar o Kadosh e a Taisa pela atenção deade a reserva ao check-out. A fundadora Dany, a artista plástica francesa que trouxe um ar exclusivo em cada detalhe, tem uma energia que consegue erradiar em cada detalhe e ambiente. Eu escolhi o quarto rosa... gigabte, aconchegante, acolhedor. Obrigado por essa experiência!

Experiência singular

Fui pro show da Lady Gaga e estava buscando apenas uma estadia confortável, mesmo que longe da praia. O Les Jardins foi um achado porque não tive a experiência de um hotel convencional. Em vez disso o espaço me proporcionou uma outra experiência do Rio de Janeiro, diferente daquela que vemos na TV, de festas e praia. É uma experiência voltada pro Rio da Mata Atlântica, com sua fauna e flora exuberantes, da arquitetura, da literatura e das artes. No Cosme Velho pude sentir outro ritmo da cidade, imaginar como ali viveram pessoas que fizeram história, como Machado de Assis. A proprietária do local é artista, de forma que suas obras se encontram expostas no local, o que me deu insights valiosos sobre como o Rio é uma cidade que inspira. Do rooftop do hotel, a vista pro Cristo Redentor. O Rio é definitivamente singular. Acordar cedo, com o barulho dos pássaros e fazer yoga com essa vista foi gratificante. Pra quem respira arte e busca por um refúgio, esse é o local. Sobre o atendimento só tenho agradecer a todos da equipe, da cozinha, pelas conversas, pelo café da manhã. E um dos grandes pontos da estadia, tão afetuoso quanto o próprio lugar foi ter a oportunidade de ser atendida e conversar com o Kadosh. Cuidou da reserva com muita atenção, se comunicou prontamente via WhatsApp, é uma pessoa vibrante e de muita serenidade, sinto que tivemos trocas tão boas que deu até vontade de ser amiga. Outro ponto alto é que há senha para entrar no hotel e você não precisa andar com chave
