Lock in a great price for Hotel Arpoador – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Ipanema Inn was excellent!!! The room was very clean comfortable and new. We didn’t want to get out the bed because it was the best! The staff extremely friendly and cooperative. Breakfast was very good, lots of variety! I would definitely go back. Excellent location!

Meri, Argentina

Staff were very friendly - excellent location, just a few minutes to walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping.

Robert, United States of America

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The street right outside the room was a little busy but the windows shut out any noise. The water pressure on the shower was great! The only complaint was that the room was small for the price.

Michele, United States of America

location was really good if you want to be spending time in the beach. i loved their breakfast for the variety and quality of products compared to the standard buffets all around.

Laura, Spain

The staff was extra friendly and helpful. Breakfast right on the beach in Ipanema can't be beat. Amazing location and very comfortable. the beach towels and umbrellas were a big bonus. Food quality is excellent for Rio standards and priced realistically.

Cornellk, South Africa

Great staff service. Very helpful and friendly! Location was ideal and it had an amazing restaurant. We loved the breakfast too!

Javier, Argentina

The Hotel Arpoador was under renovation, so our booking was moved to the Ipanema Inn. I just want to say thank you to all the staff for making our stay fabulous. The service was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very much at home there. The restaurant was amazing, lots of health options available and food was delicious. Thank you also to the staff at the restaurant for accommodating our special request and for the exceptional service.

As the Hotel Arpoador was being refurbished, i was given a room in the twin structure Ipanema Inn. Initially I was annoyed at the change, but the experience has been great: the position was perfect, round the corner from the beach, in one of the nicest neighbourhood (and definitely one of the safest), the room was very confortable, the breakfast generous and yummy, but the strongest point was the staff: extremely helpful and friendly. If/when I go back to Rio I will definitely come back to Ipanema Inn. Or Arpoador Inn, if the management is the same!

Silvia, Italy

Ipanema Inn is one block from the beach. Turn down service with chocolates was a nice touch. Breakfast was gourmet and delicious. Loved the fresh fruit juices and fruit. Happy hour cocktails were good and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to assist.

“Stayed at Ipanema Inn, Hotel Arpoador under renovations”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The room and bathroom was a bit small but we didn't spend much time there so it wasn't too much of a problem. We had booked Hotel Arpoador but were moved to Ipanema Inn due to renovations. I think Hotel Arpoador would be a better choice once it's completed as it's literally on the beach promenade and in a lively part of the beach. The Arpoador Rock where everyone gathers to watch the sunset is just outside Hotel Arpoador. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't end up staying there and I think once the renovations are done Hotel Arpoador will be one of the best choices in terms of location.
Ipanema Inn is one block from the beach. Turn down service with chocolates was a nice touch. Breakfast was gourmet and delicious. Loved the fresh fruit juices and fruit. Happy hour cocktails were good and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to assist.

Originally we booked another hotel (Arpoador inn) and since they renovated they put us here. They are in the same chain, and should have known about the renovation much earlier, so don't feel correct thay they put their hotel still to be booked. Even though they compensated us supposly with a higher, superior room, still it was very small for us (they had to put an extra crib also though).
We liked the location, was very close to the beach, to a little square where my boy could play, restaurants and shops. The breakfast, the staff was amazing. Was very neat and stylish. Loved when we arrived, they immediately helped us with our suitcases bringing up to the room. Always waited us with fresh juices at the reception.

My expensive headphones disappeared from my hotel room. None accessed my room aside from the hotel staff. This was very disappointing. The personnel in the hotel tried to assist, but the headphones never turned up. A real downer after such a nice stay in this hotel.
