2nd time staying here. It's right on the beach. The breakfast/restaurant is tasty and is steps from the amenities of Ipanema, and a short 10 min walk to the south end of Copacabana

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.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were lovely and very attentive. The breakfast view and food was brilliant. Rooms were extremely clean and kept to a high standard throughout our stay. We also loved the small details like the shower gels, amenities in room and great shower facilities to use long after checking out.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Amazing
Jisandra, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We totally recommend it! The location is amazing—close to all the key points in the city. It’s the only hotel in Rio directly on the beach, without a road separating it from the sand. The restaurant has amazing views, whether you’re going for breakfast or catching the sunset while sipping caipirinhas. The entire staff was amazing—friendly, informative, and always very, very helpful and welcoming. Special shoutout to Marcus and Matheus at the front desk. Rodrigo and Bruno at the restaurant were the best!! We spent 5 days in Rio, then headed to Lençóis Maranhenses. When we came back to Rio, we had originally planned to stay at another hotel, but we canceled and decided to return to Arpoador. We’re definitely coming back in the future. Thank you for everything!!

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.
Andrew, 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

Enhanced beauty

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.

Melhor localização no Rio

O quarto que eu fiquei era bem pequeno, mas confortável, tinha tudo que eu precisava. A equipe bastante atenciosa e adorei a disponibilização de biciletas para os hóspedes. O que decepcionou um pouco foi o café da manhã. As frutas estavam sempre passadas e os ovos mexidos (que só tive coragem de pedir um dia) pareciam uma argamassa. As outras coisas que provei estavam bem gostosas, mas senti falta das frutas frescas.
