Lovely and very engaged staff, nice modern rooms and good breakfast - incredibly high value for money.
We upgraded to a suite and had a room of modern style with a great bed. Definitely a recommendation.
Mama Shelter is a small artsy hotel with uniquely designed rooms in Santa Teresa up the hill.
Getting there from Rio central by foot is definitely doable (and should be done at least once), but be aware it's quite exhausting. Getting there by car, however is definitely a bumpy ride.
The lady checking us in was very friendly and made us feel at home immediately. We very much appreciated her helpful recommendations and enjoyed the nice chats.
Our room (104) was very spacious and individually designed. We liked fact that there were two showers and two wash basins, even though all of them did run off very slowly. The bed was super comfortable. The complimentary waters in the room were very appreciated.
The window shutters (in order to get any light in the room) need getting used to, however they perfectly fit the style of the hotel.
As for breakfast: the selection was quite small compared to other Accor hotels, however the food seemed prepared with love (e.g. freshly baked bread, juices out of glass bottles with handwritten labels). We feel that is a perfect match to the style and the target guest group the hotel is aiming for.
The breakfast room is also used as a restaurant and visited by locals as well. We enjoyed it once in the evening.
The area with deck chairs and showers for sunbathing, a foosball table and ping pong and the multiple seating areas throughout the premises created a very cozy atmosphere enabling interactions with other guests. We liked the word plays with "Mama" and the gift shop, we even bought a "Yo Mama" shirt.
We did enjoy the Accor loyalty recognition through a room upgrade, welcome cookies and welcome drinks at the restaurant and felt safe and valued throughout our stay.
Nice and cosy hotel! Not barrier-free, many stairs and no Elevator. In the middle of a Beautiful district, and also close to nature, we had the possibility to observe Monkeys from our hotelroom!
Nice place with modern rooms. The space is cool and has a good atmosphere. The breakfast was good too. Really enjoyed the neighborhood...lots of little shops within walking distance.
Wow. Mama is always right. The hotel and restaurant were incredible. Tasty food. Great service. Hip design. My wife and I can here on our honeymoon and would definitely recommend the hotel and the Santa Teresa neighborhood. Very artsy and lively.
