Staying at the Mirante was an unforgettable experience with stunning views and a lively atmosphere, especially during carnival. The welcoming host made us feel right at home, and the spacious room offered breathtaking views of the ocean. The location is unique but comes with challenges regarding access, and while the breakfast was decent, there’s room for improvement. Overall, it was fantastic value if you're looking for a vibrant party spot in Rio.

I had an incredible experience staying at this unique place in the favela. The views from the balcony were breathtaking and the atmosphere was vibrant, especially during the party nights. The room was spacious and clean, although the bathroom setup was a bit unconventional. The transportation to the hotel can be tricky, which may deter some, but it truly offers an authentic Rio experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Staying at this place was an unforgettable experience! Nestled at the top of Vidigal favela, the views were breathtaking—especially at night. The atmosphere during carnival was electrifying, with lively parties running till the early hours. However, reaching the place can be a bit tricky for those not familiar with the area, and the breakfast was quite basic. If you're looking for a unique experience with stunning views and vibrant nightlife, this is the spot for you!
