Fantastic hotel and location. I recommend the hotel Arpoador to everyone going to Rio. I loved it so much I left another hotel and came back for my last night in Rio. It’s worth every penny, oceanfront and town views.

The location is great, rooms have everything you need . Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is really good. The vibe is very nice. Good amenities. The cons. I didn’t like the smell that came out of the bathrooms near the reception. It’s just next to the elevator and it gives you the impression of lack of higiene. I believe the cost is really elevated for what you get, I had my expectations up

Brilliant location, excellent food and drink staff will really helpful. Would happily return.

Amazing hotel! The food is delicious, the staff is very helpful and the location is unbeatable. We will be back soon!

Property is well kept and has a great location. Beach literally steps away. For the money, this exceeded my expectations

Location, perfect! Everything else was pretty perfect as well. I only wish I had gone with the corner suite with a hammock.

This is a gem in Ipanema. Perfect location. Extremely friendly, helpful and caring staff. Beautiful view from our rooms. Highly recommended.

We totally recommend it! The location is amazing—close to all the key points in the city. It’s the only hotel in Rio directly on the beach, without a road separating it from the sand. The restaurant has amazing views, whether you’re going for breakfast or catching the sunset while sipping caipirinhas. The entire staff was amazing—friendly, informative, and always very, very helpful and welcoming. Special shoutout to Marcus and Matheus at the front desk. Rodrigo and Bruno at the restaurant were the best!! We spent 5 days in Rio, then headed to Lençóis Maranhenses. When we came back to Rio, we had originally planned to stay at another hotel, but we canceled and decided to return to Arpoador. We’re definitely coming back in the future. Thank you for everything!!

Great location, but place needs a refurbishment. Good service.

nice location, lovely friendly and helpful staff and the design is great. But it's vastly overpriced for what it offers. The breakfast is a la carte only (no buffet as advertised somewhere), the outdoor terrace is plagued by wasps when you are eating, the "pool" is little more than a postage stamp, basically unusable (definitely impossible for swimming). And the roof terrace, though cute, is crowded with deckchairs in lines that hardly get any sun due to the shade from nearby massive buildings. It's a good location but a bit noisy if you face the ocean as there are often bands or singers busking there.

The hotel is very well located at the end of Ipanema beach with a restaurant that backs onto the beach. The food is very good and reasonably priced but the rooms were on the small side. Reasonable value for money given location

Grat location, amazing staff(all from cleaners to reception to waiters).

Amazing hotel and service , very convenient

Perfectly located for exploring Ipanema, Leblon, and just a short stroll to Copacabana Beach. The hotel offers great amenities, including an on-site restaurant and a rooftop bar with stunning ocean and beach views. Everyone—from the concierge and front desk to the beach staff and waiters—was incredibly helpful and welcoming.

2nd time staying here. It's right on the beach. The breakfast/restaurant is tasty and is steps from the amenities of Ipanema, and a short 10 min walk to the south end of Copacabana

Everything about this hotel was excellent! Great location, amazing food and drink and friendly, helpful staff. I’d highly recommend staying on Ipenema beach over Copacabana, it has a much more chilled out vibe and was a lot cleaner, plus it was only a 5 minute walk around the cove (via the street) if you did want to go to that side. The promenade felt safe to walk along and you could eat breakfast right beside the beach. Don’t look for any other hotels, just book this one!

The staff was wonderful. The restaurant was excellent. Paulo, a bell man, was amazing. He always had a smile on his face and spoke English quite well.He knew everything about Rio and seemed more like a friend than a hotel employee.

The service there was gold standard. Everyone was very pleasant, helpful, and as a bonus for us, they all spoke English. The rooms were very clean. The only issue we had was our room was on the smaller side for 2 people. Closet space was tight and no real area to place our luggage where it won’t be in the way of navigating the room. Don’t know if all the rooms are the same size. I’m sure others are larger. All in all, a very good experience.
