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.

This was one of my favorite places I have ever stayed in all of my travel experiences worldwide. Aside from the great food, incredible hospitality, comfy bed, and convenient location, the staff was warm and insightful, providing excellent guidance into safe and wonderful experiences around the city. Highly, highly recommend!

Malo- Ruidoso - imposible dormir.

Estábamos en la mejor pieza, bastante cara, 500 US la noche, la vista espectacular, pero realmente el ruido es espantoso, no se puede dormir en toda la noche, los 6 dias , todos fiesta , gritos, carreras de motos, borrachos peleando, camiones sacando escombros, ruidos de botellas, musica a todo volumen. Pero realmente las 6 noches!! hasta las 6 de la mañana, que amanecian los borrachos durmiendo en la playa. Les comentamos al hotel porque deberian tener doble vidrio, pero ... nada. Realmente No recomiendo el Hotel. Un desastre. Lo otro malo es que no hay nada para comer despues d elas 11 PM.

We knew when we walked into the hotel we made a mistake. Small- lobby is big enough for 2 people in line which is the same path to the restaurant, worse off is the path to the beach, which is a little gross when you’re eating. The 2 elevators fit 3 people, hallways to the rooms are narrow. the room which consists of 2 nightstands, one with a child size chair, bed and wall mounted tv. We upgraded to an oceanfront balcony room for a 7 day stay,($3400 usd) to enjoy coffee, cocktails and meals. No furniture at all except a hanging hammock. No place to sit and eat in the room except the bed. Noise- ridiculous level of noise throughout the entire stay- cobbled stone road beneath the balconies. Motorcycles, carts, and anything else just rumbled, as well as party goers. One night laying awake like we had every night- we looked at each other and just laughed about the noise-, who would have thought. Food- hit or miss very inconsistent Front desk/associates mixed reviews on helpfulness/attitude Recommendations- we originally were going to stay at the Fairmont at Copacabana Beach, but got hooked by a “pricing special by Arpoador. Stay at one of the 30-ish great hotels at Copa and walk to Ipanema. We tried to share our feedback with the Mgr speaking with 6 associates at the front desk over our stay- He never got back to us. I’ve traveled to 2 destinations every year for 20 years & have never written a bad review and now you know

Lovely boutique hotel in Ipanema

We loved this beautifully designed and comfortable hotel-- it is rare in Copacabana and Ipanema, since it is right on the beach, rather than across a busy street, as most of the other local hotels are. I would recommend an ocean view room-- from what I could tell some of the rooms are smaller and there is nothing nicer than waking up to the sound of waves. We ate most of our meals here-- delicious, and breakfast is generous and cooked to order. Wonderful beach with umbrellas and chairs, though the rooftop pool is small, not for swimming.

Staff was great Restaurant service a little slow. It seems kitchen staff is not very well organized. Waiters and staff (specially in leisure business) should put an effort to learn a little english to comunicante better with guests. Some areas of the Hotel seem a little deteriorated. Which makes it look unmaintained. Special mention to Marcus who was VERY HELPFUL with us. Overall we had a good experience. Thank you all at Arporador!! :)
