"I loved everything about the Ibis hotel. Everyone was very friendly. It was very clean, quiet and in a great area, safe, closed to shops, restaurants and walking distance to the beach.
Breakfast was so good with plenty of things to eat like different pastries, bread, cheeses, hot selection, and brazilian desserts.
Lunch at the restaurant was very good as well. I am definitely staying at this hotel again."

I really loved this hotel and would highly recommend. The attention to detail was amazing. I have travelled with Belmond before but this was by far the best experience I have had.

My partner and I stayed here for 5 nights. We had a great experience. The hotel is beautiful, with modern and tasteful decor. Rooftop bar has a swimming pool and stunning views. On our second night, the aircon broke and started to leak and we got moved/upgraded immediately to a room with some sea views. Breakfast is included and is ok. Fantastic location, a few metres from Copacabana beach. Lucas from reception was awesome, he gets a 11 out of 10 from us. He was super helpful, proactive and went...

The hotel is just a block away from the metro and and a couple of blocks from the beach. There's heaps of food options nearby and it's easier to get anywhere in the city from it.
Staff was a joy, rooms are standard Ibis rooms which are consistently good anywhere in the world. I would definitely recommend to stay at the hotel if you are coming to Rio.

Good location and breakfast. The hotel was booked out and expensive because of carnival which was an inconvenience for me but the hotel coped with it well. Still good service despite all the people.

Hotel is great. Lovely pools. Beach across the road from hotel is lovely. But it’s a 1 hour taxi from Copacabana beach. There is nothing else near the hotel. All hotels / apartments have gated entry.

The hotel is clean, the room was spacious and everything operated. It's location close to Copacabana Beach and shopping facilities made it ideal from a visitors viewpoint. The metro was less than 10 minutes walk away while frequent bus services passed the door. The breakfast was ample although lacked variety. The room was cleaned and towels replaced daily. My only criticism would be the desk staff who although polite enough could have been more forthcoming with tourist recommendations. Overall...

From the moment you walk in, everything was well arranged. Staff is friendly, hotel has gorgeous art and has a sense of serenity in a bustling city like Rio. It’s worth its 5 stars and awards!
The buildings in Santa Teresa are lovely and there are quite a few restaurants in walking distance also close to the Steps.
Overall I felt safe in this neighbourhood and I would definitely stay at this hotel again!
