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.

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.

Very nice hotel

Good location -near the beach , Lagoa, shopping ,and plenty of nearby bars and restaurants . Beach towels and umbrella provided. Rooftop bar area a bit disappointing.

Location location location, at the right place close to everything in Ipanema. Small spaces but good and clean enough.

Way better than my previous hotel …. Sanitary …& quiet … staff was helpful and very pleasant … The gym was fantastic as well as the breakfast although I wish they had mango slices but not a big deal …Wish I had stayed here for my entire trip instead but I’ll know for next time which will be soon anyway

Our stay was great and the staff was great. My only issues were water leaking from the AC unit and somewhere else in the bathroom causing some wet areas on the floor.

Stay away! I booked 2 rooms (connecting), they instead gave me a single room with a double bed. Bait and switch by the hotel. Terrible manager on site, did not care. Had to call credit card to dispute charge. Left the property and booked another. Saw another person complaining while I was there too. Seams like a typical story at this hotel. So many other options in Rio. Pick another!!

This is a nice hotel with very friendly staff. It is a little overpriced now, but prices have increased a lot in Rio. You are paying for the location, near the beach and in one of the safest neighborhoods in Rio.

Location is awesome. Beds and room were clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. I’d stay here again because the price is reasonable for the location. But - the Sink would back up. Grout on shower tiles was black. WiFi has no password so it was overwhelmed and useless.

The hotel is under renovations but do not bother your stay. Very friendly staff and great location.

The bar noise is strong in the room. the doors are very thin and you can hear all the noise from the hallway

Bad costumer service

Unfortunately amenities were closed, which no one told me during booking. But the room and hotel are great, the restaurant is VERY good, and I had an overall great experience. Who needs the rooftop with the beach a block away?

We've stayed at Mar Ipanema twice, hands down a great place to stay!

The staff was out of this world. Everyone went way and beyond to help us, everyone is very friendly. I requested a high floor and I received no problem. The breakfast was good and the bed excellent. The most annoying and terrible thing was the internet. They seriously need to address this situation. A) There is no password. B) Every few minutes you need to disconnect, forget the WiFi history from your device and receive a new IP address. What kind of nonsense is this??? I speak Portuguese, I am Brazilian. I speak English, I understand internet and technology and this is ridiculous. I spoke to the reception that helped me a little but in the end, I always had to disconnect and connect time and time again even within 30 minutes. I know it sounds strange but I would think twice before staying there again, only because of this. I was so stressed out with the internet that I didn't even bother fighting for it because I knew it wasn't one employees fault.

Good and safe location

The elevators were constantly malfunctioning. The light in the room was flickering. The panel on the AC is light up and it’s annoying when trying to sleep. The restaurant has good food and it’s lively and the location is excellent
