Perfect Location

Ipanema Plaza was the perfect location! It was on a lively street, close to the beach, and had a great rooftop pool. Breakfast was basic. The staff, especially at the reception, were extremely unfriendly and borderline rude. The rooms were clean and spacious.

Great vacation

Hotel has great location. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for luxury, this is not a choice you should make, but if you can settle for reasonable comfort, this is it. Breakfast included in price was good.

Reasonable but needs work

Nice staff but reception desk seemed frustrated and satiated with routine. Need more support dynamics. Rooms clean. shower tiles need cleaning, door frames rusting, smell of cockroach/insect killing chemicals. Very important, airvents in shower do not work. Humidity takes over and it takes long for mirrors to clear. Utility closets dead roaches seen when maintenance came up to reduce hot water pressure. Refrigerators very week, innefficient, could not keep water cold. drainage dirty with meldew. Excellent pool area. Dry sauna less efficient than wet sauna/steam room. Breakfast excellent. Need small coffee pots to take to tables when requested. To get up to refill coffee staning on line ... food got cold. No facial tissues. So, toilet tissues had to be used. Chips on floor tiles need to be patched. EXCELLENT ENERGY SAVING CONCEPTS. HALLWAY LIGHTS WOULD BE ON ONLY WITH MOTION DETECTION.

Shopping tip: Short walk from hotel

Get a membership card at Zona do Sul and save 10 to0 20% on food savings. buy fruits and snacks. buy lots of water. when in a restaurant, do not accept ice cubes. just buy your drinks cold.

Entertainment tip: Short walk from hotel

walk down the street to the havianas store, buy a pair, and flip flop your way down to ipanema beach. right down the street is the mostly gay (but friendly to anyone) beach with beach service (lounge chairs, towels, and cheap caiprinhas) all delivered to you. spectacular views, doesn't get much better than this!

Pleasant

One block from Ipanema beach. Very nice. Large complementary breakfast buffet. Although, I''ve been to other Golden Tulip and this one wasn't as nice, as well maintained. Here you pay for the location.

Rio Ipanema Hotel review

Room costed a lot per night and was expecting a true 5 star or a true boutique hotel experience as was described but it all turned out to be a miss. Rooms were extra small, bathrooms smaller, very outdated bathrooms and had stain marks on the bed sheets and wash basin, toilet and bath tub. However, the hotel staff were friendly, helpful. Location is a plus. Good food especially the Asian restaurant had good choices. Buffet breakfast was included. Having said that, I Wouldn't stay there again due to unclean bathrooms, smaller size.
