Great location and very close to the beach. The breakfast has lots of options, the only downside is no pastries and the cakes too sweet.

This is NOT a 4-star property, even if 3. If it wasn't for the superb location of Ipanema Beach (Posto 7), and only needing a room for 2 nights, I would have checked out and gone elsewhere. Overall, everything about this hotel is tired: the breakfast area is too small for the size of this hotel, which makes the entire ambience feel basement like; the roof top area looks really sad, dated and unkempt (so uninviting,I didn't even utilise the free welcome drinks voucher I was given). My room had a faulty bathroom (taps not working, shower leaking), which got fixed once reported - however, it wasnt done in a way made to last nor did it leave the bathroom very inviting. In this instance,I think i should have just been offered another room but it was very apparent that no one even cared to check how/ to what standard it got fixed. The entire property appears to be done on the cheap and with minimal effort of care. The only saving grace about this hotel is the location.

Everything was great at this location. A very comfortable stay. The only issue was the housekeeping entering the room quite early in the morning unannounced. Overall I am very pleased with the hotel.

A great hotel, on Ipanema Beach.
The Arena Ipanema is a great hotel, located three doors down from Ipanema Beach. The rooms are clean and bright, and the maid service is careful and thorough. The front-desk staff has speaks multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and of course Portuguese. The morning breakfast is plentiful, with lots of variety.

Just behind Ipanema beach and Aproador rocks. Very short walk to Copacabana beach. Couldn’t have been better located. They take security of guests very seriously and you can opt in to use facial recognition to access the hotel at night.
