Great area. Staff were helpful. Safe place. Hotel has security in place. Beach is close by. I’d recommend

Very clean room, comfortable beds and great breakfast.

Staff are very helpfull and nice. Rooftop has an amazing view. Rooms are pretty small and breakfast is good but it’s the same food everyday. VIP gold status from Expedia only gets you 20% off once on your meal. It’s almost nothing.

amazing location and staff

Staff at check-in was extremely helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

The hotel was very clean, staff was very friendly, check in was easy and the staff was able to accommodate my needs for an early check in. Sara at front desk was very helpful and attentive to all my needs. Breakfast had a great variety of fruits, pastries, eggs, breads, cheeses, etc… the location is great walking distance to Copacabana beach, Ipanema beach and Arpoador beach. Lots of restaurants and bars close by.

I asked for a quiet room and was assured it would be very quiet. I was put beside 3 very loud young women who like to party late. The walls are paper thin. Needless to say I didn't sleep well. Beware if you want a quiet hotel.

Breakfast, along with a trove of other things, is out of management's control. Coffee is an odyssey to get. Either no pump jars, or substitute broken machines, it takes quite a while to have your morning caffeine dose. Food choices are limited, yoghurt is watery at best, and good luck getting a spoon.

Staff went way beyond my expectations and friendliness. Attentive and catered to all my special needs. UBER pickup at the door. Advanced security checks for admissions after a certain time. A great breakfast awaited us each morning. Great selection.

Great location, helpful staff

Great location and breakfast

Front desk didn’t seem too trusting felt a little uncomfortable

Nice staff, great location.

Staff were nice . Breakfast was great . The pool was not clean .

Rooms were good.. not really as large or as nice as the online photos. Restaurant was not good.. menu was inaccurate, food bland, and brought us the wrong dishes on two occasions.

Great price & great location - modern and has everything you could need for your stay.

Very friendly

Nice hotel, great location! Easy access to the beach, rent a street bike and bike up and down both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches!

The staff were lovely, absolutely wonderful; the location, unsurpassable. In terms of the amenities, however, this was four-star in name only. The gym was a perfunctory affair, with enough space for no more than two people to work out at once, and the swimming pool was diminuitive. In the bathroom, there was shower gel in lieu of antibacterial handwash (I had to buy my own), and shampoo was not provided - even the toilet paper was of the lowest quality. There were no tea or coffee-making facilities in the room, which are to be expected at a hotel of this grade. The "minibar" had only full-sugar cokes and still waters, no snacks and no alcohol. The breakfast had no whole or unprocessed meats and the coffee was very basic. Based on the facilities versus the price, I could not recommend the Arena Ipanema, despite the great service.

food was great
