Comfortable stay

Stayed two nights here after having spent two nights at a different hotel in Copacabana. The difference in both neighbourhood and accommodation were immediate. The staff were very welcoming and offered a welcome drink which I had on the rooftop before my room was ready. Great views from the roof and my room as well (could see Cristo Redentor). Had dinner and breakfast from the adjoining restaurant which were both very good.

This hotel was recommended by a friend who lives in Rio and I understand why. The location is near the Ipanema beach, safer than Copacabana, the rooms and facilities are nice and clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We reserved the 6 hour city/Cristo tour with them which was a good choice. We also enjoyed the spa for massages which were also very nice.

We stayed in a regular room, everything was good but the AC. Not sure if it was because it was hot outside but AC was at 17° C and it felt like 23 C. A central metal piece of the window was loose and it make some noise as the AC was an old model and it shakes while it was working. Real highlight here is that everything else was fantastic.

My recent stay at the Mar Ipanema Hotel was nothing short of a disaster. The lack of cleanliness was immediately evident, with mold visibly growing in the bathroom and windows that were covered in grime, making it nearly impossible to see outside. It's apparent that cleanliness is severely neglected here. The noise level was intolerable. There is ongoing construction on the 5th floor during the day, and the loud noise reverberates throughout the entire hotel. Finding any peace or quiet is out of the question with the incessant banging and drilling. Additionally, the hotel is situated in an unsafe area. I felt uneasy walking around the neighborhood, particularly after dark. In conclusion, I would never consider staying at the Mar Ipanema Hotel again. It was an extremely disappointing and unpleasant experience. Do yourself a favor and choose a different place to stay.

I recently stayed at the Mar Ipanema Hotel and it was an absolute nightmare. First and foremost, the cleanliness of the hotel is appalling. There is mold growing in the bathroom, and the windows are so filthy you can barely see through them. It’s clear that housekeeping is not a priority here. The noise levels are unbearable. There is continuous construction on the 5th floor during the day, and the noise permeates through the entire hotel. It's impossible to get any rest or relaxation with the constant hammering and drilling. Moreover, the area around the hotel feels unsafe. I did not feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood, especially at night. Overall, I would never stay at the Mar Ipanema Hotel again. It was a deeply disappointing and unpleasant experience. Save yourself the trouble and find somewhere else to stay.
