“great hotel, great location, great value”

Arena copacabana hotel was an excellent choice. beach front, great views, great location. I could experience copacabana beach day/night even from the comfort of the hotel rooftop. Great service from every staff. We were upgraded as the room wasn´t ready! it was great! I recommend this hotel to any travellers! great value for money! brand new hotel!!!

“Excellent hotel and great value”

This was a smaller hotel with a great location on Copacabana Beach. The fantastic customer service provided by the hotel could not have been better as everyone was extremely friendly and assisted in every way possible. I plan on returning to Rio some time in the near future and will make an extra effort to book this hotel.

“Very impressed”

Great hotel, great staff. Very clean, new and in a very safe and convenient location. Stayed in the hotel for a week and will stay again when I go back to Rio.

“Great Hotel”

The front desk staff are extremely friendly and helpful giving a nice warm welcome and lots of brochures and good advice. Elevators are fast so very easy if your room is on the upper floors (I hate standing waiting for elevators). Buffet breakfast is really good and the location is right opposite the beach. The rooftop terrace has spectacular views and a small splash pool and bar, but the terrace is a bit sterile and could use some tropical palms or plants to soften the contemporary style. Overall a comfortable hotel.

“Very Impressed-Recommend you stay here”

The location was excellent. The hotel was very modern and new. The rooms were very comfy. We had an excellent view of Copacabana beach from our room. The gym has all new equipment. The pool deck was beautiful with good overview of the beach below. The buffet breakfast was very good-up to North American standard. The staff were excellent-very friendly and helpful. We never had any difficulties. Most of the staff speak English. We would definitely return to this hotel again. It was one of the nicest hotels along Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.

“Excellent view, Really good service, Great room ... what else?”

We was on a family trip, could stay just one day at Rio. The hotel is on a really good location if you like sea view : You can get everything on Copacabana beach. If the view from your room isn't enough, you can go to the open-sky pool on the roof top, from where you can have an amazing scene. The service is really good, the staff here speaks surprisingly well english, unlike a lot of hotel in Brazil. You can really feel that they do their best to let you have a nice trip. Really good hotel for leisure. I would go back there for sure.

“Great value! Great Location! great service:)”

This hotel is GREAT! It is new and perfectly located right across from the beach. The staff was very helpful and friendly:) Breakfast was great!

“A good find on Copacabana”

This is a very new hotel. Staff is friendly and tries to be efficient. Rooms are clean and functional but a bit small. Breakfast is a very well-stocked buffet of fruits, yogurt, cereals, breads/cakes and scrambled eggs. Front desk is overwhelmed in the a.m. at checkout. For a moderate priced hotel on the beach in Rio, the Arena is an excellent choice.

“"Very impressed"”

Searched for Rio de Janeiro hotels only on Expedia. Selected the Arena Copacabana and was extremely satisfied. Location, breakfast, room, price was all great. Definitely recommend this hotel to both business and leisure travelers.

“Great deal on Copacabana”

The hotel was clean, ideally located, the staff were very helpful, and the room was just as I expected. The price was considerably lower than many of colleagues paid at nearby hotels with not as fine facilities. For me, I did not need a view of the beach from my room - the view from the rooftop bar was spectacular.
