Real mess

Terrible management, bad conditions. This is not a hotel. This is a hostel. Pictures on the website are different from the offered rooms. During my stay, I felt a strong smell from the toilet drain. If you want a room similar to those pictures, you are charged extra. During my stay, a guy from reception took of his shirt and stayed like that for hours. Area near the pool is very cute, breakfast is nice. On the other hand, I wish I could have my money back.

Really good

The hotel it's a good option if you're staying a couple of days in Rio do Janeiro. The rooms are a bit small, but the staff is amazing and really sweet, and everything is aesthetically pleasing! The breakfast could be improved, but it was really good! It's also very well located

Pictures are not even close to reality

I booked here based on the picures of hotel and reviews. Honestely, i was very disappointed by all. Staff showed me different rooms when i checked in but there were all the same bad. Building was out dated and room condition was just like cheap hostel. Washroom cailing was opened so your partner can hear all you do in there. Windows are very old so i didnt feel secure. Does not lock properly. The only nice thing was staff. I chosed to check-in another hotel nearby although i already paid for this. Refund was not available.

Great location, wonderful staff

I spent a few days in Casa Tuxi, the staff is great, always helpful and checking all the details to make my stay super confortable. My only advise is regarding the wifi which doesnt work in the room and was weak sometimes in the lobby.

An ok place to stay.

We chose the hotel for a-locality and b-cost. It is located in a great location for the metro and walking. The pictures on hotels.com are nothing like reality though. Breakfast was good. Our room had a bed and a bedside table on one side and a wall on the other. There's nowhere to hang clothes or shelves to out anything on. There's one chair only. There is a fridge though. We were there for 4 nights and although we asked for a change of towels after the 2nd night, and the bin emptied, neither was done in the 4 days we stayed. Wifi in the reception area only; our room had a window onto the passageway and there was a light on most of the night which was annoying. Most of the staff spoke English which was a bonus. You have to ask for a hairdryer if you need one. It would have been nice to have some insight of how to get to everywhere when asked or even before asking. Perhaps an informational leaflet would be helpful. There's a supermarket a little to the left on exiting the hotel which has a restaurant. Excellent pizzas. You order your food, choose the wine or beer from the supermarket and sit at the table. Fabulous - but we found it; no one told us which was a pity. Would we stay again? Yes but. It that room.

Muito sujo

Eles são extremamente educados, conforto da cama e travesseiro muito bom. MASSS, o quarto estava muito sujo, com lixo de outra pessoa no banheiro com direito a casca de banana e papel higiênico no chão onde ainda pedimos para retirar com educação e não fomos atendidos. O café estava gelado, além de uma fruta mofada.

Péssimo atendimento, dependências imundas

Instalações precárias, sujeira predominando em todos os ambientes, começando pela recepção. Atendimento pessimo, cheiro desagradável nas dependências, piscina suja, quarto com manchas nas paredes, colchão no chão cheio de pó, não recomendo pra ninguém.
