Praia Seca Tours

Superb location just a block away from the fames Ipanema beach. Lots of eateries within a few blocks. Metro is right next door which makes getting to Centro real easy even in heavy traffic. Staff was super helpful and cheerful. The room size is what I expect in Ipanema. Wish the bathroom is bit bigger and they should add a hand shower. I missed that after coming back from beach.

I had a calm and peaceful stay at Les Jardins de Rio. I was the only guest at the time and loved the intimate, retreat‑like atmosphere, with sunrise and beautiful views from the rooftop. Breakfast was specially prepared each morning with great attention to detail, and there was always coffee left out for the day. The hospitality was genuinely welcoming and accommodating: every request was met promptly, I was also given plenty of space to relax on my own, and the manager kindly shared tips about the area even though she doesn’t speak English and my Portuguese is limited. My room was beautiful with stunning views, and the sunken bathtub felt like a private spa experience. Everything felt clean, safe, and much nicer than some older reviews suggested. 10/10 – I would happily stay here again.

Not great! Couldn't use the kitchen sink (had some unexplained work being done on it), the hair dryer didn't work properly, the toilet didn't flush properly....not good value for money and I wouldn't recommend!
