The hotel had a modern vibe. Clean, efficient, and upscale. The rooms were clean and although we only had partial ocean view, the view of the park was nice. The breakfast room was a bit packed, but the food was good. The staff was very helpful, and the short walk to the beach and several restaurants made it a very convenient spot for our first time to Rio.

This is definitely not a four star property. The location is great and restaurant staff at breakfast - which is good- are friendly. However, our bed had sand in it so doubtful our sheets were properly cleaned but we were very tired upon checkin and just made do. Front desk staff not very friendly and lady who checked us in seemed pretty indifferent. I’m sure for the cost, there are much better hotel options.

Outstanding!! What a great stay at Hotel Arena! First it was very safe: this was our top priority in choosing a place to stay. The security guard inside the hotel did a fabulous job making sure only guest came inside. Outside the grounds a large police presence was constantly surrounding the hotel. Second the staff was amazing. Sara checked us in and was able to get us into our room earlier than the checkin time smoothly and very welcoming. Third our room was beautiful, comfortable bed and pillows. Our house keeper was fantastic and kept our room nice and clean. Also we had a quiet stay no problem with sound from neighboring rooms Fourth the morning breakfast was fresh and delicious with an attentive staff that constantly upkept the food. Finally the location is ideal for seeing Copacabana, Arpoador, and Ipanema just perfect. I Highly recommend choosing Arena Ipanema hotel. My wife and I look forward to our next visit here. 😀👏🏖🌴😎🌊

The location of the property is convenient. I did not really use the facilites as the gym is very limited and cramped and the pool is more of a cold plunge. Breakfast is quite good but the room is too small for the number of guests at peak times. The room was clean but the air conditioning is too cold even when set to a higher temperture. The room has USB sockets but no plugs except in the bathroom. As my phone, like many modern phones, charges via USB-C I could only charge it in the bathroom which was annoying as I also use it as an alarm.

Un hotel muy bien ubicado , llegamos 2 horas antes del check in y nos dieron la habitación me imagino que está sujeto a disponibilidad , pero fue buen detalle ya que veníamos de un viaje muy largo, el desayuno buffet que incluye está bien pero muy básico todos los días era lo mismo pero tenía buena sazón, todo el staff nos trató muy bien siempre con una sonrisa, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Jeg bodde på Arena Ipanema Hotel i ni dager, og totalt sett var det et veldig hyggelig opphold. Det aller beste er beliggenheten,bare en kort spasertur fra Ipanema-stranden, noe som gjør det veldig enkelt å ta turen til stranden hver dag. Hotellet tilbyr også strandhåndklær, som er en veldig praktisk og gjennomtenkt detalj. Takterrassen er også et stort høydepunkt. Det er et perfekt sted å slappe av, med flott utsikt og en fin atmosfære både på morgenen og kvelden. Det som virkelig gjorde oppholdet spesielt, var de ansatte. Alle var utrolig vennlige, hjelpsomme og serviceinnstilte gjennom hele oppholdet. De strakk seg alltid litt ekstra for å hjelpe, noe som utgjorde en stor forskjell. Frokosten var veldig god, med et bra utvalg, og rommene var rene og komfortable. Alt i alt et flott hotell med utmerket service, og jeg ville definitivt vurdert å bo der igjen.

Good city hotel for a short stay with a convenient location to Ipanema. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was decent. That said, lower floor felt less comfortable with windows facing street/ sidewalk, and the rooftop area is quite small, with pool that is more for dipping than swimming. Overall, it felt overpriced for what it offers, unless you value the lobby design.
