Stayed there for a week with friends. The hotel is excellent. Staff are friendly. We had a deluxe room with an ocean view. There is a small rooftop pool and bar. Breakfast is served from 6-10:30Am daily -- the head of the food and beverage area spent time in the US and speaks perfect English (for those travelers that need... More

It’s all about location - you're across the street from the beach, down the street from Garota de Ipanema and live music at Vinicius, walking distance from an HSBC ATM, the metro station, and a supermarket where you can buy cheap beer. The room was very small. It's probably fine for one person but for two you’d better really like... More

Front desk staff were very good, spoke English very well. It was busy when I checked in and checked out, but I did not feel them trying to rush me at all. When I had a large dragonfly in my room one evening, I called front desk and someone was dispatched very promptly to take care of it. Out front,... More

Great views overlooking the beach, unfortunately the hotel does not have any balconies. Whie you could open the window, it would have been nice to sit outside and take in the views. Nice breakfast, with different fruits, pastries, breads and juices. The rooms were nice, found the bed to be very comfortable. While I didn't want much TV, there were... More

Booked two double room for a 4 nights stay... one twin and one double... upon arrival we had to wait until 4pm to get into our rooms, as we were tired from the trip up from Iguaçu it really was not funny. We had to spend the time waiting in the pool area on the top floor, which as nice... More

Front staff is absolutely bossy and incompetent. Took them three hours to check me in, and refused to give simple information like which room I was assigned to, if the previous guest had already checked out, if there was another room available. The manager Paulo even affirmed that it is common to take more than ONE HOUR for the maids... More

You can't beat the location of this hotel. We stayed in Copacobana last time we were in Rio and this location has a lot more restaurants and shopping nearby plus it's located right across from a beautiful beach area. The hotel offers complimentary beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas which is very convenient. The front desk staff were very helpful and... More

We stayed at the Sol Ipanema hotel just before the carnival in early Feb 2012. The Hotel is greatly located on Ipanema beach, just across the road. rooms are convenient and good breakfast. All is all, a good (but expensive..) location to explore Ipanema More

I don't think there can be a better location if you plan on spending time at the beach. The hotel staff were wonderful. You can walk 1 block tot Garota de Ipanema or Vinicius. A longer walk to say Esplanada Grill was also very doable. The bed was very comfortable and the room very clean. The staff was very helpful... More
