I`m a concert promoter and have been using more and more Arpoador Inn as the place for international bands stay. Their service is always getting better and better and all the bandas are always delighted with the place as well with the service.

The room was lovely. Not enormous, but the view is spectacular, and the sound of the ocean is LOUD! We booked an ocean view room on 6th floor. Well worth the extra money. Staff very helpful, and breakfast is amazing. Towels for swimming provided

The Arpoador Inn is a great hotel. Rooms are clean and well-appointed. No over-the top luxury here, but functional rooms. However, the location is the greatest asset: The hotel is right on the beach. There is no major 4-lane road to cross to get to the beach. You can even dine on the sidewalk immediately next to the beach. One... More

10 years ago my husband stayed at the Arpoador Inn and was only impressed by its unique location, right on the beach between Ipanema and Copacapana. But the hotel has since been refurbished and the sea-view room we had (what a fantastic view!) was clean and modern and offered all the facilities we could wish for. Furthermore the staff, whether...

Arpoador Inn. The location is perfect. The restaurant was busy every night. The restaurant has good food and very nice outdoor seating right on the walkway overlooking the Ipanema Beach. Very short walk to Copacabana Beach and its attractions. The walk took me about 5 minutes or less. The hotel is also right on the run and bike path that... More

First, my compliments to Sophie (I hope I got that right) at the front desk for a few reasons... she got us into room 602 at 10:30 AM after a long overnight flight, she indulged me in my attempts at Portuguese acquired via six weeks of one hour a day Rosetta Stone (which very much enhanced my vacation). Also her... More

What's this hotel lacks in polish it more than makes up for in location - you can't get much better for the money in my opinion. Right on Arpoador. Killer! Restaurant is excellent too the fish curries are very very good. Rooms not great but they are fairly priced and tbh when you are in a spot like this it... More

Stayed at this hotel every year since 2003, always in ocean view rooms. Arpoador Inn failed to honor credit card confirmed reservation no. 447196, for ocean view room for 23-26 March 2013. Instead received noisy street room, called superior, which was very small with a mini bathroom. Declined offer of ocean view room on 24 March because it was not... More

First of all, the location is great, just in the middle of Ipanema and Copacabana. Also its the only hotel with a direct connection to the beach. Its a nice experience to have breakfast 2meters away from Ipanema beach. The front desk staff is very friendly. Other than that it doesnt deserve the money you pay. The rooms are old... More
