About
Hotel Santa Clara - Rio de Janeiro
Hotel Santa Clara is a 3-star property set on a quiet residential street in Copacabana, yet close to the main avenue with its shops, restaurants and cafes. The beach is about a 10-minute walk, with the metro even closer at 5 minutes. It’s a low-key base for exploring Rio without the noise of the seafront.
The hotel has 24 rooms with a colonial-style charm. Some rooms open onto a balcony and all come with air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Breakfast is included and can be enjoyed in your room or on the balcony. The staff are often praised for being friendly, helpful and able to speak English.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Quiet location near the beach — Set on a calm, residential street in Copacabana, yet just a 10-minute walk from the sand and a 5-minute stroll to the metro.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small, simple hotel — A modest 24-room property – expect basic amenities rather than luxury facilities. There’s no gym, pool or spa.
- Rooms can be dark — One guest noted their room at the back was quiet but also dark, with no traffic noise – a trade-off for the calm.
- Check-in ends at midnight — Check-in is between 14:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight will need to make alternative plans.

Rooms had a charming colonial feel and were spotless. My balcony let me enjoy the fresh air. Air conditioning and TV were all in place. The included breakfast was a lovely start to the day.”
8.6Verified guest“I loved this hotel. A small, old-fashioned place on a quiet back street in Copacabana. My room at the back was quiet and dark, with no traffic noise. Staff went out of their way to help, and several spoke good English, which was a blessing. Perfect for a beach stay without beach noise. Highly recommended.”
