Great location and food but small rooms

The hotel is very well located at the end of Ipanema beach with a restaurant that backs onto the beach. The food is very good and reasonably priced but the rooms were on the small side. Reasonable value for money given location

Perfectly located for exploring Ipanema, Leblon, and just a short stroll to Copacabana Beach. The hotel offers great amenities, including an on-site restaurant and a rooftop bar with stunning ocean and beach views. Everyone—from the concierge and front desk to the beach staff and waiters—was incredibly helpful and welcoming.

2nd time staying here. It's right on the beach. The breakfast/restaurant is tasty and is steps from the amenities of Ipanema, and a short 10 min walk to the south end of Copacabana

Everything about this hotel was excellent! Great location, amazing food and drink and friendly, helpful staff. I’d highly recommend staying on Ipenema beach over Copacabana, it has a much more chilled out vibe and was a lot cleaner, plus it was only a 5 minute walk around the cove (via the street) if you did want to go to that side. The promenade felt safe to walk along and you could eat breakfast right beside the beach. Don’t look for any other hotels, just book this one!

The staff was wonderful. The restaurant was excellent. Paulo, a bell man, was amazing. He always had a smile on his face and spoke English quite well.He knew everything about Rio and seemed more like a friend than a hotel employee.

The service there was gold standard. Everyone was very pleasant, helpful, and as a bonus for us, they all spoke English. The rooms were very clean. The only issue we had was our room was on the smaller side for 2 people. Closet space was tight and no real area to place our luggage where it won’t be in the way of navigating the room. Don’t know if all the rooms are the same size. I’m sure others are larger. All in all, a very good experience.

Malo- Ruidoso - imposible dormir.

Estábamos en la mejor pieza, bastante cara, 500 US la noche, la vista espectacular, pero realmente el ruido es espantoso, no se puede dormir en toda la noche, los 6 dias , todos fiesta , gritos, carreras de motos, borrachos peleando, camiones sacando escombros, ruidos de botellas, musica a todo volumen. Pero realmente las 6 noches!! hasta las 6 de la mañana, que amanecian los borrachos durmiendo en la playa. Les comentamos al hotel porque deberian tener doble vidrio, pero ... nada. Realmente No recomiendo el Hotel. Un desastre. Lo otro malo es que no hay nada para comer despues d elas 11 PM.
