We were sorry we did not book all our 7 days in Rio at this hotel. The room decorations were of IKEA standard, functional, clean and bright in a hot climate- a perfect combination! Just after New Year the price was on the high side. A good experience and we would definitely stay again on another visit. More

We stayed here for three nights at the end of our tour of South America. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful - on the first night as we were leaving the man at the desk asked what our plans were. We wanted to go to Porcau, a Churrascaria that had been recommended to us. They must have some kind... More

We were traveling to Rio in connection with a cruise and decided to arrive a few days early to see the town. Based on other travelers' reviews we decided to stay in Ipanema and, based on comments from others staying in Copacabana, we made the right decision. The hotel is centrally located opposite the beach. There are many great restaurants... More

The accomodation is decent but it is not comparable to other 4 star hotels worldwide. Nonetheless we had a good experience, the rooms were clean, breakfast was good and the staff were helpful. The location is perfect, great views of Ipanema beach, and very close to banks and restaurants. We felt very safe in this area. There was a great... More

Could the mattress and towels be a little plusher? Yes. But the staff was very helpful, the location great (just a short walk to many good restaurants and right across from the beach), and the view from the tiny rooftop deck amazing. Pool is so small I don't know why they bothered. I would stay there again. More

We were looking for a clean, family friendly hotel on the beach in Ipanema. With prices being so high in the area, we booked a room at the more reasonable Best Western Sol Ipanema. We had a wonderful experience! On our arrival, we were disappointed that our three children were in a room on a different floor. Although it took... More

One needs to bare in mind when visiting Rio de Janeiro that decent accomodation is a rare commodity. The shortage of land in Copacabana and Ipanema means the few hotels that are located in these areas have little incentive to offer anything resembling decent value as the demand far outweighs the supply. The Best Western Sol Ipanema seems to atleast... More

I stayed at the Best Western Sol Ipanema for 3 days in December because I had to move out of the Sofitel. While the hotel is small and my room was on the mountain side, the room was newly renovated, very clean and perfect for me. Bed was comfortable, internet worked well, and the breakfast (included) was excellent, and American... More

Practical, clean efficient property well located on ipanema beach front. For me it lacked any personality, warmth or service philosophy. Changed future reservation so as not to return as better places available. More
