8/10 Very 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

8/10 Very good

Beautiful boutique hotel, amazing service and the rooftop pool is the perfect way to watch the sunsets.
John, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Form more important than function...

nice location, lovely friendly and helpful staff and the design is great. But it's vastly overpriced for what it offers. The breakfast is a la carte only (no buffet as advertised somewhere), the outdoor terrace is plagued by wasps when you are eating, the "pool" is little more than a postage stamp, basically unusable (definitely impossible for swimming). And the roof terrace, though cute, is crowded with deckchairs in lines that hardly get any sun due to the shade from nearby massive buildings. It's a good location but a bit noisy if you face the ocean as there are often bands or singers busking there.

This was one of my favorite places I have ever stayed in all of my travel experiences worldwide. Aside from the great food, incredible hospitality, comfy bed, and convenient location, the staff was warm and insightful, providing excellent guidance into safe and wonderful experiences around the city. Highly, highly recommend!

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.

The restaurant, ARP, is great. The staff is wonderful. The design of the remodel is gorgeous. The location is perfect. The rooms are incredibly small.

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.

Wonderful and exclusive hotel. Nice breakfast. Fantastic rooftop with a great landscape to Ipanema. I would stay next time!
Jose, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The service there was gold standard. Everyone was very pleasant, helpful, and as a bonus for us, they all spoke English. The rooms were very clean. The only issue we had was our room was on the smaller side for 2 people. Closet space was tight and no real area to place our luggage where it won’t be in the way of navigating the room. Don’t know if all the rooms are the same size. I’m sure others are larger. All in all, a very good experience.
Mark, 6-night trip

Beautiful Hotel, but Details Need Attention

I had been eyeing this hotel for a while, as it always looked charming and sophisticated from the outside. When I finally traveled to Rio, it was my first choice. The location is perfect—right in front of the beach—and they provide beach service (chairs and umbrellas), which is very convenient. The breakfast was another highlight: a small buffet, but a wide à la carte menu, and the common bar is pleasant. We also had a great couple’s massage—thank you Miguel and Amanda! However, a few things could be improved. The pillows were extremely soft and unsupportive, among the worst I’ve encountered in a hotel. The towels were quite worn out, which is not what you expect from a hotel in this category. Be careful when booking: not all rooms have a view. Ours faced a wall, with no natural light—it felt like being in a storage room. Noise was also a problem: housekeeping was loud and even entered the room at 8:40 AM without knocking. The bathroom was clean but had visible mold in some areas, probably due to lack of ventilation. While the hotel promotes eco-friendly practices (like refillable toiletries), the lights are not linked to the room card, so they stay on if you forget to switch them off when leaving. Overall, it’s a nice hotel with great potential, but a few details should be improved to meet the expectations of its category and price range.

It’s a small hotel, so the floors are pretty quiet. The restaurant / bar is as close to ‘on the beach’ as you can get. A few steps from the amenities of Ipanema Amazing views from the rooftop
