Avoid. Booked a suite, the suite I booked was a room, not a suite, rang down to reception, they told me they didn't have any suites like other hotels but they call a bigger room a suite. Go figure, they chrage you like other hotels do for a suite. Staff are beyond useless. Took 1 hour 50 mins to check... more

This place was a dump. The room was nondescript; bed linen was so scrimpy we could not keep warm; the ocean view we had requested was completely obscured by a large (nonfunctional) TV in front of the small window; bedroom clock also did not work. The bathroom was tiny & extremely shabby, & was missing facial tissues, plug for basin,... more

This was my second time to Rio on the same trip. When I first arrived we had booked Porto Bay Internacional in Cococabana which had the most sensational view I have ever seen (but was not very safe at night nor near many restaurants which was fine for us on that visit) I booked this on the return trip as... more

We stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of our trip to Brazil and again for one night at the end. The location is excellent and the area feels safe. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance and you are right next to the beach. This area felt a lot better than Copacabana, though that could... more

Good service, location and ambience. A bit pricy but worth it. more

Simply great location in the heart of Ipanema - very safe. Nice terrace where you can have excellent breakfast. The restaurant Opium is okay, but there are definetly better restaurants in the area. The standard rooms are a little old and not very stylish, but are accomplished with everything a good business hotel needs. The only remark is: don't stay... more

We have been to Rio on several occasions. This is the first time that we stayed at this hotel. It was really comfortable and enjoyable. We found the staff helpful and attentive. The hotel is one block north of Ipanema Beach and in walking distance to many great restaurants, the Praça General Osório, and Hippie Fair. The rooftop pool and... more

Stayed in the Ipanema Plaza for a few nights between two conference trips. Everything was smooth, clean, safe and very friendly. The pool+bar on the roof has great view and great cocktails, the staff is nice, the guests are friendly and in general, atmosphere is good. Breakfast is excellent, rooms are large enough and with nice views (mine was on... more

We stayed at the Ipanema Plaza for a week in January. Since it was my partner's 40th birthday, I upgraded our room to a "deluxe oceanview room." What a waste of money: - The decor was something out of the 80s - The bed linens were like sand paper - Our ocean view could only be enjoyed (and I use... more
