10/10 Excellent

Fantastic hotel and location. I recommend the hotel Arpoador to everyone going to Rio. I loved it so much I left another hotel and came back for my last night in Rio. It’s worth every penny, oceanfront and town views.
Bill, 3-night trip

Great location, but place needs a refurbishment. Good service.
Claudia, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The location is great, rooms have everything you need . Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is really good. The vibe is very nice. Good amenities. The cons. I didn’t like the smell that came out of the bathrooms near the reception. It’s just next to the elevator and it gives you the impression of lack of higiene. I believe the cost is really elevated for what you get, I had my expectations up
viviana, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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
Bradley, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful boutique hotel, amazing service and the rooftop pool is the perfect way to watch the sunsets.

Mary, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We totally recommend it! The location is amazing—close to all the key points in the city. It’s the only hotel in Rio directly on the beach, without a road separating it from the sand. The restaurant has amazing views, whether you’re going for breakfast or catching the sunset while sipping caipirinhas. The entire staff was amazing—friendly, informative, and always very, very helpful and welcoming. Special shoutout to Marcus and Matheus at the front desk. Rodrigo and Bruno at the restaurant were the best!! We spent 5 days in Rio, then headed to Lençóis Maranhenses. When we came back to Rio, we had originally planned to stay at another hotel, but we canceled and decided to return to Arpoador. We’re definitely coming back in the future. Thank you for everything!!

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.

6/10 Okay

Great location. Friendly staff, especially check-in team during the day. Rooms are small and comfortable. Waiters were very friendly but food is definitely below par. Would have expected better food all around for the place.
