Stay here for 3 NTS.
The shower in the room was small space I had to stand sideways so take a shower.
Breakfast was just ok and the dinning area when full was difficult to move around no space.
Good location for Ipanema beach.
Getting around always use Yellow taxi they don’t seem to rip you off.
Hotel was very comfortable and walking distance to the beach. A lot of cute cafes and good restaurants in the area that are also walking distance. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Highly recommend booking here.

Front desk desattentive for guest requests. my shower was really small… but it was in a great location
This hotel was recommended by a friend who lives in Rio and I understand why. The location is near the Ipanema beach, safer than Copacabana, the rooms and facilities are nice and clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We reserved the 6 hour city/Cristo tour with them which was a good choice. We also enjoyed the spa for massages which were also very nice.
The Mar Ipanema has a very good location; near shopping and just two blocks off the beach. Good value, clean, quiet, comfortable, nice restaurant, great exersize room, friendly staff.
Stayed two nights here after having spent two nights at a different hotel in Copacabana. The difference in both neighbourhood and accommodation were immediate. The staff were very welcoming and offered a welcome drink which I had on the rooftop before my room was ready. Great views from the roof and my room as well (could see Cristo Redentor). Had dinner and breakfast from the adjoining restaurant which were both very good.
this was an amazing hotelnyobstay. First time in Brasil and walking distance was so convevience and the staff was so lovely. Will def reccome this hotelnyo family and friends. The restaurant Pato was delicious.
There was a huge coachorage in my bathroom and after I hardly killed that oneand couldn’t sleep I saw another one next day. I asked them to change my room and they said they can’t and they don’t have any room. After I insisted so hard they accepted and all of a suddeb there was another room. I know there are coachorages hidden behind bathroom doors wooden pieces, so if you get that kind of room where there is space they can hide you will most likely sleep with one and even see it and scream like I did. God they are huge!!!
This is a nice hotel with very friendly staff. It is a little overpriced now, but prices have increased a lot in Rio. You are paying for the location, near the beach and in one of the safest neighborhoods in Rio.

Good location -near the beach , Lagoa, shopping ,and plenty of nearby bars and restaurants . Beach towels and umbrella provided. Rooftop bar area a bit disappointing.
Way better than my previous hotel …. Sanitary …& quiet … staff was helpful and very pleasant … The gym was fantastic as well as the breakfast although I wish they had mango slices but not a big deal …Wish I had stayed here for my entire trip instead but I’ll know for next time which will be soon anyway
Our stay was great and the staff was great. My only issues were water leaking from the AC unit and somewhere else in the bathroom causing some wet areas on the floor.
