We stayed before it was great . This time we arrived late and taken to our room . Immediately we left the lift this terrible smell hit us . In our room it still smelt so we opened the window in the hope it would go away . It did not unfortunately. So not a good night . ! Thought about trying to move in the middle of the night but decided it was so late for an up heavil.
Lovely staff and central location

The Arena Ipanema Hotel truly had it all! Clean, modern rooms, a convenient location, and a delicious breakfast with a wide variety of options. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making the entire stay even more enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Rio.
Our room overlooked the park and the alley used by pedestrians heading to and from the beach. Through no fault of the hotel, the area was unusually noisy in the evenings and early mornings, with occasional bursts of loud music. As a result, it was difficult to get a restful night’s sleep. During our stay, the elevator button on the 4th floor was not functioning and we had to take the service elevator every time we wanted to go downstairs.

Hardly any veg options. Very boring if you a vegetarian.
Daily repetition of breakfast meals. Not a balanced vegetarian meal.

Great location. Felt safe walking around neighbourhood. Loved the rooftop bar and pool setting and views with colorful sunsets. Very generous and varied breakfast buffet. Staff very helpful and friendly.
Relatively small rooms and strange plumbing. Difficult to get warm water.

Perfect location , steps away from the beach , super convenient to explore Ipanema , Copacabana and Leblon in waking distance.
The staff were always friendly and efficient.
I truly enjoyed my stay there and strongly recommended it
The breakfast could be a bit more diverse

The treatment we got from the staff was beyond our expectations. They changed the room for us since fhe first one was smelly and they assisted us with all our requests.
1. The first room we got
2. The rooftop was a bit bellow our expectations.
5.0 / 10.0
The location is excellent, and the staff were very attentive and friendly.
Breakfast requires waiting in line for a table, which is not ideal. The room had only one power outlet, which was very inconvenient. There is no complimentary water—bottles are placed in the fridge in a way that suggests they are free, but you are charged at checkout. The hotel itself feels outdated and lacks basic amenities, such as a coffee machine in the room for a simple morning coffee.

Best location if you want to be between copacabana and ipanema - perfect also for iconic sunset and sunrise . The staff is very friendly and accommodating. A delight.
Beds a little too soft for my taste, but that is very much a personal preference. Also worth noting that the pool appears bigger on the photos .

We were on the rooftop terrace. My wife asked for a cup of hot water which we were charged for. 😒

You can hear between rooms, so privacy is not great
7.0 / 10.0
staff was friendly and they were flexible
The pictures created unfair expectations -- the rooftop was not as nice as it looked, the pool was very small, and the rooms itself were nothing special. For one thousand reais a night, or more, I expected something better, Next time I will pay more to stay at a place worth the money, or spend less to have the same amount of comfort. also -- restaurant food and drinks were expensive and bad.

Breakfast and roof top bar were very good and the staff extremely helpful. great location
Rooms a bit small but the bed was too soft, very poor lighting in the room (nice if you want it cosy, but you can't turn more lights on to find things), no non-slip mat in the shower (and it needed one)

Let's start with the fact that everything you see in the pictures is different. I don't recommend going near there. Antichy hostile place. I didn't reserve places, I was supposed to stay there for 10 days, I left there after on the third day. Rude manager who refused to return the money. They let me leave at night. Antshimi place, an unsafe place, I advise you not to go near there.
Even Booking did not service my complaints. Do not approach or book a very dangerous place. do not recommend
Do not Booking there

Nothing really. Hotel is simple but has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The location is perfect and in a safe area. right in front of Leme beach and walking distance to Ipanema and Copacabana. The rooftop pool while small has an amazing view. The staff were friendly and helpful. Next time I’d upgrade to a sea view with hammock room

I broke my leg a few days before arrival and couldn't come. A request to move the booking to a later date was denied. That's the way it is.

The Staff were great and really helpful, and having the pool was a blessing when the beach was so full, being a weekend! Breakfast and the food in the restaurant was wonderful (although I am not sure what was in the bolognese on the kids menu...it didn't taste right).
The gym was near on useless for a couple to work out. You can't use more than 1 piece of the weights equipment at the same time. I booked this hotel because it had a gym, and paid for that privilege, so it was very disappointing that it was really a home gym for 1 person! And no free weights, which would have made it more user friendly.
