5.8/10 (259 reviews)

I liked the accommodation is staffed throughout day and night, and that you can leave your key there if you want to so you don’t need to worry about losing it when going out partying or to the beach. Staff was kind and the area is pretty convenient between beaches in Ipanema & Copabana. They changed towels everyday which I wasn’t expecting and thought was nice.

8.8/10 Excellent! (811 reviews)

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Arpoador! The location is perfect, right by the beach, and the hotel makes it so easy to enjoy it—they provide bikes, beach towels, and even chairs for the sand, which was such a thoughtful touch. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of great options, and the food overall was excellent. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile, which made the experience even better. My room was comfortable and well-kept, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rio. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, great service, and beachside convenience.
