The location was perfect-between Ipanema and Copacabana. The staff was amazing. Rooms were clean and modern and breakfast had many options. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend.

The shower pressure is very powerful and the bed comfortable. The view from the roof-top towards the famous mountain is blocked by a building. The terrace is sad.

Dear Ms. Sylvie,We thank you for choosing the Arena Ipanema Hotel and thank you for your evaluation and comments. We are happy that you enjoyed a pleasant bath and a peaceful and comforting sleep. As you can see, the view from our roof top is of the beautiful and famous Arpoador beach in Ipanema and the other side is mountains and these two wonders are divided between buildings, like every big city privileged by these natural beauties. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you again soon.Sincerely,Ney De SouzaOperations Manager

The hotel is located well. Copacabana is, in my opinion, a little run down. Ipanema is not! Some great bars and restaurants close by, the metro only a 10 minute walk away. An early morning run along the beach is a must (if that’s your thing), be it to the north or the south. Would I stay again? Absolutely!

Excellent hotel - was staying with my partner for a few nights exploring Rio. The hotel is new / modern, the rooms are modestly sized, but clean and comfortable. Location is excellent, right on the corner between Ipanema beach and copacabana. Breakfast was substantial with plenty of options and the rooftop bar and pool were a great way to relax anytime. The staff we're super friendly and helpful. After we checked in I noticed that a lot of the gym equipment which I had hoped to use was broken / not usable so I asked to shorten my stay and was accommodated with no problems. Thank you Arena for a great stay and looking forward to staying again in future.

At max,a roof over your head next to the beach
Location is the only redeeming quality of this hotel. Rooms are FINE, but they are paper thin. Customer service is non existent. There’s a coffee booth at the front of the hotel that I saw one person working once and I was there for 10 nights. I asked if I could check in an hour early, I ended up waiting 1.5 hours (30 mins past check in time) to check in. Wasn’t allowed to have friends up to my room during NYE, lots of rules, lots of questions and zero amenities to show for it. I went 2 days without soap being replaced, breakfast cuts off DIRECTLY at 9:50c is supposed to start at 6, but actually starts closer to 6:30. Food is mediocre. If you’re fine with spending $200-$300 a night for a bed and a great location, this is the spot for you. No other redeeming qualities.

Dear Kara,In response to your published report, the information does not reflect the truth of the facts.Check in time is at 2pm and we allowed entry at 1:27pm, as we had room availability, even though it was a special date with high occupancy.Regarding the access of people who are not guests to the apartments, as a security measure they are not allowed to enter the Hotel, however when a guest informs us that they are a relative or friend, we ask that the person register at the reception at which once done, we will have no problem granting access to the Hotel.Breakfast is open punctually from 6 am to 10 am and contrary to your report, depending on the movement, we extend the restaurant's closure.As for the lobby bar, we have on-call hours for service with a Barman, outside opening hours, we continue to meet demand.We remain at your disposal for any clarification.Sincerely,Ney De SouzaOperations Manager

Great location, reasonable price, great pool area with a nice view. Rooms are clean and a decent size. Helpful staff - especially Antonio in the lobby! Overall, a great stay. The only things that keep this from being a five-star experience would be the lack of coffee makers in the rooms, the poor quality of the breakfast buffet, and the lack of secure Wi-Fi.

The hotel has a good location, within minutes you are in Copacabana and within seconds in Ipanema. It feels safe walking around. The room smelled lke sewer (had a room change and both smelled terrible). The AC did not work it blow cold air for a minute and then hours a room temp air. The room at night was very hot. The rooms are very small specially the bathroom. It leaked water from different corners when you took a shower so it flooded a little bit. The staff is not the most friendly, no one told us where the breakfast was or the amenities the hotel had.

Dear Mrs. Pelaez,First of all, thank you for choosing the Arena Ipanema Hotel. Thank you for your evaluation and comments, which are of great importance and value to us. With regard to the size of the standard room, many guests say the opposite, but we have the measurements available on the portals and booking channels, and in order to upgrade to a higher category, this must be available. As for the smell mentioned, we moved the lady to another apartment. Our building is new and we have a modern digital air conditioning system with many functions on the remote control that may have mistakenly triggered the timer or something, but our staff could help, just ask us. Please note that we are always at the disposal of our guests and we work very seriously but also with a lot of affection in search of the full satisfaction of our guests.

We had a pleasant stay in Arena Ipanema. The location is ideal for exploring Copacabana and Ipanema and accessible for Uber trips if you are going further afield. Room compact but had everything we needed. Noise from neighbouring guests is definitely an issue as it seems some walls are more than paper thin! Breakfast is adequate to set you up for the day and the staff are courteous and helpful. Pool isn’t quite the usual size! But who wants to use the roof terrace when Copacabana and Ipanema beaches are moments away?!

Overpriced water even for European standards
Small room, not very comfortable. But what amazed me was paying 18 BRL for 2 bottles of 330 ml. At the supermarket you buy 5 l for 11 BRL just for reference. Do you really need to extort the tourists? Unnecessary profit.
