The pool, gym, and full 6th floor were closed during our stay with no pre warning. The only compensation offered was a massage which given the amount we paid for 4 nights I was not very pleased. The rooms were also tiny. However, the staff and breakfast were great.

To start the rooms are quite small. Its major claim is the location. The food is mediocre at best in the lobby restaurant. During my stay, I requested a late check out and was told no. So I checked out. Since I had a very late flight and wanted to enjoy the beach I paid $220 dollars for a smaller room for a full day as indicated by Taizzha. A female front desk receptionist. Unfortunately, my flight was cancelled. I phoned them that I was returning and was told that the amount I paid was for a late check out. That was not what I was told initially . In fact, I paid more than what the room was going for on Expedia. Alex the night person made no attempt to rectify the situation. Hence, I had to pay for another hotel. I felt cheated and scammed. No way do I recommend this hotel at all.

Our stay at Hotel Arpoador was exceptional from beginning to end. Waking up to the stunning beach views every morning was unforgettable, and the hotel’s location couldn’t be better. With direct access to the beach and just a short walk to both Ipanema and Copacabana, it made exploring Rio incredibly easy. The service was outstanding and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay. What made the experience even more special was the thoughtful birthday surprise the team prepared for me. I had mentioned that I originally wanted to stay here for my birthday back in May, but unfortunately they were fully booked. The staff remembered that and surprised me with a beautiful birthday treat, which was such an unexpected and heartfelt gesture. It’s rare to find a hotel that combines breathtaking views, an unbeatable location, and such personalized hospitality. Thank you to everyone at Hotel Arpoador for making our trip so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

Excellent hotel in an outstanding location. We only stayed for one night, but everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, the bar served excellent cocktails at reasonable prices, and the location couldn’t be better—right by the beach in a very safe area with a visible police presence. It was the perfect base for exploring Rio. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

Amazing stay ! Will come again

Excellent hotel… breakfast could be improved and the food was cold at dinner unfortunately Location was excellent

The staff was very helpful, well-informed, and accommodating. The food was great!! And the views were unmatched.

Great location. Rooms could be cleaner/fixed up a bit to remove signs of mould.

This is a great location. The breakfast is actually very good there are many options and many of the staff were welcoming however I was disappointed at check in the host was very cold did not explain how the elevators work the hostess of the restaurant was kind and came ove to show me. Also I choose to stay at this place because I had heard great things about the roof top and I was not able to use on the night I checked, the form of imforning, was very impersonal. On the way out I was service by an employee that was extremely personal and very concerned about my experience. I hope the owners sees this, and Johnathan is rewarded for his service.

Steps away from the beach, free breakfast and the hospitality of the hotel were great. Miss Brazil!!

Breakfast on the seaside is incredibly tasty with lots of options. the rooms are clean and the staff is very attentive to make your trip pleasant and enjoyable. The beach access is great, only need to walk downstairs for sandy bliss.

The front desk staff was very helpful. It’s in the perfect location in Rio. It’s at the Apex of Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach. The rooms were a bit small, but had everything that I needed. I would also recommend a room with a view. The courtyard view is facing another apartment.

Convenient location and excellent staff

Brilliant breakfast, great location on the beachfront. Nice to have beach umbrellas available too

Everything and everyone fantastic! Only thing you guys need more attention to cleanliness of pool area including pool, you need someone to act as pool boy and clean and take care of water inside pool every day , specially a pool this small. It’s wonderful but its dirty.

Everything was as expected. Awesome drinks Great food, great staff, wonderful location, very comfy beds and rooms, great amenities only down side, pool needs (actual water in pool) to be clean every day!! As well as pool terrace area You guys need a person who cleans the pool every day like any normal hotel in the world who owns a pool.Specially a pool this small. Theres hair inside of it and all sorts of crap inside. This diminishes from the experience and great property you have. Everyone very friendly specially bartenders (men & women upstairs in terrace) Will come back, thanks.

Great location and amazing staff. Love the vibe and food is great.

Poner cortineros, entra demasiada luz a través de las cortinas

Lovely the staff, the breakfast is incredible, great view from the roof terrace. Location is exceptional too. The window (city side) was not very sound proof, the room was quite small and they could do with some showers or an area to wash off the sand from the beach before going into the hotel. Also a drinking water fountain - the jugs at reception were always empty.
