The hotel and service are excellent and the location is fabulous. A couple of suggestions to make it even better: 1. The shower in our room (804) leaks flooding the bathroom. Could this be fixed? 2. Coffee and tea facilities as well as a paper tissue box are standard amenities that were missing. 3. The hotel is by the beach, yet there is no shower or even a tap by the entrance, forcing guests to enter the lobby and their rooms covered in sand. 4. There are no umbrellas for the guests, and we were forced to leave under the rain (again, a standard amenity. Apart from those details, everything was perfect.

Top staff and a perfect location

The staff at the hotel are awesome!The.location is amazing. I was only there for one night for business. I realty didn’t get a chance to even get to the rooftop. They acknowledged all my Gold benefits and gave me an early check in and late checkout. When I have to go back to Rio, I will definitely return to this hotel. Highly recommend!

This is our fourth time staying here since they opened and Arena Hotel continues to be the lodging of choice for us. We love the hotel. It’s clean, quiet and comfortable and the location is ideal for us. Also, a special shout out to Josefa, the nice lady who cleaned our room each day. She did a great job and we always enjoyed saying hi to her each morning.

Great hotel. Very centric. The only inconvenience I see is that they don’t hace an iron/ steamer or access to one or laundry for that matter. So make sure you bring a portable one or clothes that won’t wrinkle
