Clean, modern hotel, great breakfast and the best location. Your experience will vary based on the staff on duty at the front desk. Most did speak good English which helped a lot. Only word of caution about the (currently) one and only tour operator recommended by the hotel for the Rio city tour (can't remember the name but the company...

I stayed here for three nights in Feb, and found that it was just as described by other reviewers -- great location, cozy, clean rooms and friendly staff.
If you stay, be sure to get up early and go for a walk on the praia next to Ipanema beach, where half of the city can be found running, jogging, skateboarding,...

Dear guest,
I would like to start by thanking you for such a great review about Mar Ipanema Hotel! I am very glad that you had a great time in Rio and at our property. I loved your tip on taking a walk on the beach early in the morning. I do that myself sometimes, and always drink a coconut...

We stayed at the Mar Ipanema for 5 nights in January 2012. The rooms are well appointed and modern. The hotel is located 2 blocks back from Ipanema beach in the centre of Ipanema. The breakfast is plentiful and excellent and the staff on the front desk are very helpful - they booked restaurants, arranged bike hire and provided beach...

A friend and I stayed at the Mar Ipanema for 7 nights at the end of January. Here is our review by category:
Location - The hotel is in Ipanema, near the beginning of Leblon. As two young women, we felt very safe here and would often walk around to bars and restaurants quite late at night and never felt...

This hotel was very good. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bathroom was clean, and the beds were comfortable and felt modern.
Additionally, the staff and the location are really great. For location, it is located just a block or two away from Ipanema beach. It's an easy walk to one of the best beaches in Rio. In the...

Dear guest,
Seems like you had a very nice time at Rio de Janeiro! I am very glad to know that our staff helped you in providing this great experience. Besides our location, which is fantastic indeed, another very nice activity to do (if you are brave enough) is hang gliding. You jump off an amazing cliff, fly over the...

This hotel is exactly what it needs to be: a place to rest your head.
Our room faced the street, and we experienced a little noise, but that is to be expected.
The room was not large, nor did it need to be. The bathroom was clean, the air conditioning worked VERY well (don't turn the temperature down too much!)....

Dear guest,
Thank you so much for your review. I am glad to know that you enjoyed your stay at Mar Ipanema Hotel!
Completing your comments, I would like to add that all of our air conditioners are split, therefore much more slient than the regular ones.
As you mentioned, unfortunately, there is nothing we could do about the restaurant...

We stayed at this hotel during New Year's week. The location is fantastic, in the middle of a very safe and upscale neighborhood. You can walk to the beach, lagoa, stores, restaurant and Leblon shopping mall. The rooms are very small though and the breakfast room is rather small considering this is a big hotel. The staff is very helpful...

We stayed 3 nights in Rio after our South America tour. Mar Ipanema Hotel was a very good choice: Great trendy location in the heart of Ipanema, very safe area, no problem walking around even at night, many shops, restaurants and supermarkets, two blocks from the famous Ipanema Beach, you can walk to Copacabana Beach about 20 minutes. Standard Room...

As I researched hotel options in Rio I read the reviews of the Mar Ipanema hotel and emailed the manager with several questions. Her responses were timely, clear, and very helpful.
We decided to book a deluxe room that was larger than their standard room. The room was big enough for the 2 of us and the bathroom and glass...
