Lovely place - lovely staff. Outside wait staff could be faster - had to wait quite a while to get my drink with my food but overall still great and courteous.

We liked how easy and small it was. Food was really good.

Great location right on the beach between Copa Cabana and Ipanema. Restaurant food was very good as well.

Great

Nice staff

Incredible location. This beautifully designed boutique hotel was just perfect in every way… make sure you book the ocean view room and enjoy the nights music, ocean waves whilst relaxing in the hammock. The team went out of their way to make you feel welcomed. Or simply enjoy watching the sunset on the rooftop… incredible stay.. thankyou

Although a great location for access to Ipanema beaches, the hotel appeared run down, provided no amenities you'd expect given the hotel cost. Noisy at night and not a comfortable stay.

great smaller hotel right on Ipanema beach. excellent food at restaurant, dining indoors or out. staff very friendly and helpful. would return for certain. ps: enjoyed the morning yoga sessions

The hotel is in Ipanema, right on the beach. Easy access to the Metro. Many restaurants and shops around. Staff is very friendly and help. Breakfast is very good, many selections

Staff friendly and very helpful. Best location. Breakfast amazing. Sauna in rooftop, right on beach. Cons: do not get the massage they were not good. Esp lymph massage, asked several times for some pressure and nothing was changed. Major con: there is NO INDOOR SHOWER or place to use if your room is not ready or you have a late flight. They only have one outdoor shower. Very few amenities. Room is tiny.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The food at the restaurant was as good as well!!

Cool hotel. Perfect location. Great service. Small but decent rooms. Loved the pool area. And right on the beach. Restaurant is ok (dont order the cacio e pepe and fillet) but there are so many others walking distance. Breakfast is great. Couldnt recommend this hotel enough.

This hotel is amazing… nice design, cool ambiance, the breakfast next to the beach is a must have! I really enjoy it. Only negative points the bedrooms on the city side are very noisy until super late (many cars and buses) and poorly soundproofed. The rooms on the ocean side has a stunning view. I really love it!

I was really happy at Arpoador Hotel- beautiful property! Great service, great staff, and the restaurant was wonderful too. I can't wait to visit again :)

Perfect stay , location is on iconic Rio's beach. Staff is great but room a little bit small but confortable.

Coolest vibes in town with simplicity but sense of service. They took well cared of me and everything went great. If you need to book a massage, ask for Miguel. The breakfast is very tasty and healthy. Location is great. Can’t recommend enough!

Marvelous location on the beach, friendly staff, comfortable accommodation and good breakfast. The perfect address in Rio!

Right on the beach. Excellent service

Brilliant place, great location. The staff was very attentive and professional. Room with a sea view was just perfect.

Amazing location on Ipanema beach. The entire staff was friendly and made our visit to Rio very memorable.

I love everything, but especially that the hotel offers gluten free and lactose free food options.

This is an excellent boutique hotel. The rooms were clean, the hotel is very well situated on the beach in a quiet area of Ipanema. The included breakfast was excellent but what made this Joel stand out were the workers. Ana Paola our breakfast waitress could not do enough for us. She was so sweet. Rodrigo the bartender ion the rooftop bar made the best caipirinhas was so helpful explaining the city to us he made us feel like family. Toth our diner waiter was awesome. He catered to every need. Bruno at reception could not be nicer. Also very helpful. In general everyone was nice but the ones mentioned made our stay extra special. We thank them for their hospitality and making us feel so at home and welcome in Rio. Our first visit and surely not our last.

We just stayed at Hotel Arpoador for 8 nights. It was a wonderful stay! The rooms are small, but we’ll appointed! You can not beat the location and dining with a view of the ocean and mountains. But was most special was the staff. Everyone and I mean everyone went the extra mile. Micael checked us in, checked on us the next day and was so welcoming! Toth, Alex and Rapha were just wonderful to us. We could not have had a better vacation. We loved Rio and everyone at the Hotel Arpoador.

The setting is beautiful and the staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay care free and enjoyable.

Great location and the staff is very friendly!

Incredible

Location and Service were top!

We absolutely loved our stay at Arpoador. It was very convenient, close to everything. Walkable distance from copacabana, ipanema and leblon, and close to famous bars and restaurants such as Belmonte. The restaurant Arp is beach front, the little street that has access to the beach is fully secured and has a view to the arpoador rock and morro dois irmaos. Totally recommend and cant wait to go back!! Only downside is that the TV doesnt have the option to use streaming channels and the only channels available are local Brazilian ones. Considering this is a very international spot and many guests are from abroad, Arpodor should really consider upgrading the TV system.

Excellent location. Beautiful hotel. Rio is simply stunning <3

Amazing hotel, definitely recommend and will stay here again!

Excellent hotel, we had the best time. Breakfast was a special highlight with a sea view. Special shout out to Nicolas Swan, he really made us feel welcome and couldn’t have done anything more, an asset to the hotel.

We wanted to stay at Arpoador because we had previously been to the restaurant and had a great experience in terms of food, service and ambiance. We weren’t disappointed when we booked our room. If we ever tome back to Rio we will definitely stay there again.The staff can’t do enough for you, even arranged our last minute transfer to Ilha Grande. We had to leave early before breakfast was ready but they made a bag of sandwiches, biscuits and water for the minibus. Other hotels could learn a lot from Arpoador.
