Guaiba Island Vacations from $1,174

Was doubled charged for the room and refund took an effort. Room had only one bed and was different and smaller than the pictures on Expedia. Staff gave us an upgrade after complaining and it was better, but a bit dusty.

Oceanview is amazing.Staff a wonderful and the place is clean. Breakfast was great

My stay at Hotel Arpoador was wonderful. The standard room is small, so beware if you need a lot of personal space or privacy. My priority is cleanliness and friendliness. I had no cleanliness concerns. I did not see one insect. I left a note on how I wanted my room cleaned (don't make my bed), and that was honored. Eli at the desk, Vitor at the beach, and the gentleman with locs at the front desk were very kind, cheerful, and helpful. The guy with the ponytail working on the roof on 9/27 for breakfast was very friendly and helpful also. This location was easy to uber everywhere and walkable to lot's of places in the area as well. No safety concerns. Hotel right on the beach and they provide chairs and umbrellas. Beware of beach vendors. Verify what you are paying as they tried to charge me thousands of dollars for a few drinks. Thankfully my bank declined it. This had nothing to do with the hotel though. I would 100% stay here again.

Unfortunately, the people in the room next to us had a dog. They left the dog in the room all day, and it barked loudly and incessantly. It is very selfish of guests to impose their unhappy dog on others. The hotel should have better rules regarding pets.

Views were incredible and a quick walk to the main tourist areas. However, there were ants in the room and no-one at front desk with whom to address the issue. In fact, there was no hotel personnel anywhere in the hotel around 8:30pm. When I informed the reception at check out, he still shrugged his shoulders. Other than this incident, hotel was comfortable and well equiped.
