location excellent, Ipanema beach 5mins walking distance. Extensive breakfast selection, especially the pastries were wonderful. Even though not super cheap for Rio, it was worth it.
The rooftop pool area felt a bit cramped and noisy

Fair
Location is nice very close to Ipanema and Copacabana beaches.
We were not advised nor were there any indications that small water bottles in the refrigerator were being charged. Essentially 2usd per 8 oz bottle of water. The elevator buttons required a great deal of effort to register your input and the shower leaked out into the bathroom. You also have to be 100% vigilant we saw people have necklaces stolen off their neck in broad daylight along Ipanema.

Staff were great Restaurant downstairs was very good Breakfasts were included and also very good
It was very expensive (week of carnaval) so probably would not pay that much to stay there again, only if the pricing was better Would consider this a 3-star hotel per USA standards Had some drainage issues in bathroom consistently during stay

Closeness to beach
No coffee in the room or ability to get before 6 am. Very late for early risers The smell in this hotel literally made me sick. I now have a sinus infection I had window open all the time and air conditioners running at high swing. Still bad

Room was functional and clean, with a quiet AC unit. Excellent location a block from the beach, in a vibrant neighborhood with plenty of food and shopping options. Rooftop bar and pool with a great sunset view. Nice breakfast. Staff very professional and friendly.

Location was fantastic. Staff was super nice and helpful. Breakfast was good! Room was always cleaned.
Bathroom was small and a little dated. Felt a little uncomfortable at times. Toilet sanitary hose didn't work.

The breakfast room was too small, with too many people, and the breakfast was a bit poorish. For people with allergies, the ingredients of the food were not listed, which made it a bit difficult to consume.

Great location, staff and facilities. I recommend it for families. Good value for money. The breakfast is good. It is very close to Arpoador, which offers a great sunset. The rooftop swimming pool is a treat.

The Arena Ipanema Hotel truly had it all! Clean, modern rooms, a convenient location, and a delicious breakfast with a wide variety of options. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making the entire stay even more enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Rio.
Our room overlooked the park and the alley used by pedestrians heading to and from the beach. Through no fault of the hotel, the area was unusually noisy in the evenings and early mornings, with occasional bursts of loud music. As a result, it was difficult to get a restful night’s sleep. During our stay, the elevator button on the 4th floor was not functioning and we had to take the service elevator every time we wanted to go downstairs.

The location of the hotel is great! One block from Arpoador and Ipanema beaches, about five from Copacabana. Police is everywhere in the area, which is critical in Rio. Walking distance to several bars, restaurants, supermarkets, shops.
The "swimming pool" is a joke and should be removed from the website. The gym has very few equipments. The elevators were off almost two days. Once we ordered a hot chocolate around 8 pm: it took one hour!! and it came as plain hot milk and chocolate powder.
