This is a lovely hotel in a good location. And the staff was all very friendly. The doorman was great! However, at $355/night I expected more than was delivered. The gentleman in the room next to mine got up every morning at 6:00 and immediately got on his phone. He had a deep loud voice and it woke me up... More

The hotel is well situated just a short walk from Ipanema beach and has plenty of bars and eating places very close Our first impression of our room was one of disappointment as we had paid extra for what we thought was a better hotel than the one selected in our tour. The decor, bathroom and electrical sockets certainly need... More

Was there for 2 night and I would say the hotel is good but to expensive for the overall quality. The service is fair but bellow, I would say, Brazilian standards. For example I had to go several times to the reception to manage problems with my reservation and reception personnel was not as nice as I would expect. The... More

Rio is just an expensive place. We paid 2X of a similar place in Buenos Aires, although that was over 3X less than the price posted on the door. However, we loved the location. This place is just a few steps from Ipanema Beach and 15 minute walk to Copacabana Beach without the beach front pricing.The immediate surrounding is quite... More

Hard to beat location - great for ipanema beach and nightlife. But rooms were tired and in need of modernisation. Hotel security non existant. Things not working (room safe, breakfast toaster,) just not repaired .A 3 star hotel charging 5 star prices. More

If you want to stay in Ipanema the title of my review says it all. It's also just a 15 - 20 minute walk to Copacabana. We stayed on the Ipanema floor the room was lovely and clean, bathroom adequate, I liked the separate "hallway" entrance area too. There was a large coffee machine in the room that produced a...

We had a very enjoyable stay at Ipanema Plaza. I see many reviewers complained about the desk personnel, but all of our interactions with them were completely fine - they were pleasant, polite and helpful. The rooftop pool, terrace and gym were very nice, though with the beach so close, we only went up there briefly. The view from there... More

The Reception was very bad. Reception Supervisor was rude, never listened to complaints. Manager was always in meetings. WiFi never worked. When we tried to complain about WiFi, all we were told it will be OK in 30 min, which never happened. IT manager was incompetent. Even after returning home, we wrote to The Manager 1 week ago and have... More

Very good location, beach is at the corner. Very walkable and pretty safe neighborhood, night and day. Rooftop terrasse/pool is quite enjoyable, (not enough space or chairs, though...) plus you get a view of Cristo Redentor. Included breakfast is OK, but quite repetitive. Hotel's "beach club" comes handy with towels, chairs and umbrellas. Room was nice and clean, even with... More
