This hotel has 3 things going for it: excellent customer service all around, location (beautiful beach behind the hotel accessible from a park next to the hotel), and good breakfast buffet of local dishes, fresh fruits, good coffee, and a wide assortment of bake goods. On the negative side, the rooms are clean, but tiny and and not much room to even open suitcases or walk around. Don't plan on using the room for anything other than sleeping and showering. Don't expect any extras like wash cloths or hair conditioners. Given the location and the price, I would stay here again.

Great location, nice hotel for the price. Staff is friendly and supportive. Rooms are clean and serviced daily. Breakfast is 4/5 but makes it easy. You likely won't use the rooftop bar much.

Arena Ipanema is an excellent choice for a hotel stay. Nice clean rooms. Included breakfast is a nice bonus. Great location, quick walk to Ipanema Beach, a lot of restaurants nearby. Staff was very nice from check in to check out (including housekeeping). They were quick to address the sudden loud noise coming from guests upstairs. The young lady at the front desk always had a genuine ready smile whenever we passed by. Shout out to David Santos who would stay with us outside and chatted as we waited for Uber. You can tell he genuinely loved interacting with the hotel guests. We highly recommend this hotel.

This was my 5th stay at Arena, unfortunately it was not the best. More cold showers than hot, when I complained the maintenance came within minutes and said the heating had been off for a period. Same problem repeated every day. My business colleague in a different room experienced the same issue. The lifts were completely broken for several hours and suffered from random unavailability in the day following the issue. The hotel leaks when it rains, experienced this in previous stays and again on my last day. Lucky not directly impacted by this, this time. There was an attempt by a young man to smash through a glass wall into the hotel at 2:38am but he ended up cut up and bleeding as shards of glass rained down upon him. Not the hotels fault but security did take a long time to investigate what was going on. As a regular traveller to Rio I’ll give them one more chance because of previous enjoyable stays but cold showers are unacceptable for a hotel that claims to be 4 stars.

The hotel is well located, albeit beside an alley road that takes you to the Arpoador beach - not the top destination if you are in Rio. The vast large display of police and military police on the ground, helicopters and policemen in patrol cars and bikes
