This is a nice, relatively modern hotel with a friendly concierge that provides excellent advice and local information. The location is excellent as it is half a block from the beach and close to many interesting shops. It is also close to the lake. Ipanema is nicer than Copacobana. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the ones on the... More

I recommend staying at this hotel for either business or pleasure trips. It is very well located in Ipanema, with different stores and restaurants surrounding it. The breakfast is good, with different varieties of fruits and breads. The room has flat TVs, ammenities and are all very modern comparing to other hotels in Rio. The price range is high as... More

The best thing going for the Ipanema Plaza is its location. We booked this hotel because we wanted to stay in Ipanema, had walked passed it on our previous visit to the city and thought that it was extremely conveniently located to the beach and the shops/cafes and restaurants of Ipanema. Once we decided on the Ipanema Plaza, we also... More

We booked with Booking.com whose description was totally misleading. We stayed 5 nights over New Year at huge cost, average £420 a night with breakfast! Booking.com stated only 3 rooms left at a price.We booked immediately thinking we may not have a room in that area over New Year. 4 weeks later the same urgency in their advert! Hotel needs... More

The location of this hotel is very good - only a block from the Ipanema beach and feels safe. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and reasonable prices for a big city. The rooms are clean and the bed very big and very comfortable. The bathrooms need a refurb as it is very difficult to have a shower without flooding... More

The best thing about this hotel is its location, very near the amazing beach and in what feels like a safe neighbourhood - as a solo traveller I didn't feel comfortable in some areas of Rio but always felt safe in Ipanema. It was great to have the pool on the roof - small but an oasis of calm. The... More

Our 7 day stay at this hotel exceeded our expectations. There is no better location in Rio for beach, shopping and sightseeing. If you are visiting Rio for the first time you want to be here because the area is lively, the best beach is less than a block away and the area is well patrolled by tourist police. The... More

A tourist destination, but location is excellent. Roof top pool is great. Service is okay, but breakfast was not so great. Will stay there again. More

The rooms are not cleaned properly, I found hair from the previous guests everywhere. There was also dirt and hair floating in the swimming pool. The floors in the lobby and restaurant looks like they never get cleaned. Furniture is outdated, tired and dusty. I ordered coffee, 8BR and it did not come with milk, I requested Diego to bring...
