Ipanema Inn

Great hotel very near Ipanema beach. Rooms are rather small but have everything necessary for a great stay. Nice little bathroom, great shower. Good breakfast made to order is included. The staff is the best however. Always friendly and helpful. Very laidback atmosphere. You can get towels from the hotel and receive chairs and umbrella with the towels on the beach. Works like a charm.

Party of six and stayed at 3 separate rooms. Excellent location - felt very safe with easy access to the beach. The hotel provides lounge chairs and umbrella for use on the beach. Very good service, excellent food, clean rooms, very friendly staff. Would certainly stay there again. For the long term, perhaps upgrading the lobby appearance and expanding the rooms that are meant for double occupancy is a suggestion.

Ipanema Inn has been one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The hotel is not only beautifully designed, spotless, and extremely comfortable, but the service, from the front desk to the restaurant, was truly exceptional. Special shoutout to Henrique (hoping I’m spelling it correctly), who was outstanding throughout my stay. They provide beach towels and have a partnership with a beach tent where guests receive complimentary chairs, an umbrella, and a table, plus discounted drink prices—an amazing bonus. The hotel was also very accommodating with early check-in and late check-out, which made a big difference. Breakfast was included and absolutely delicious, with plenty of options. Even the chocolate left in the room was incredible. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ipanema Inn, and I’ll definitely be staying here again when I return. Keep up the great work, Ipanema Inn is a gem. Thank you!

We loved our experience and especially loved the attentive service! This hotel already had everything (beach towels, DELICIOUS breakfast included, amenities) but João was so delightful. He helped us and was so patient, kind, generous, and helpful. He knew the menu at the restaurant inside and out, had advice for everything we asked, sorted us out with beach towels before we even asked, and was just a pleasure to be around. The location of the hotel was fantastic and the rooms were everything we needed. Highly recommend.

A lovely boutique hotel in a beautiful part of Rio. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, and Thales was especially helpful – the hotel provides bikes, and he made sure I had one so I could explore the neighbourhood on two wheels. The breakfast was also delicious and a perfect way to start each day.

We had a wonderful stay over New Years at the Ipanema Inn. It checks all the boxes - perfect location, comfy bed, great shower, delicious breakfast. The entire staff was friendly and helpful, and there is a real warmth about the place. Highly recommended!

Well located hotel and a lovely restaurant/bar. Right by ipanema beach and the neighbourhood hood had lots to offer and felt very safe. Shower was exceptional. Was a bit loud on one of our nights due to other guests but the hotel offered to move us quickly to another room.

Amazing staff, great location. Walking distance to the beach and many restaurants and shopping. Very clean and enough room for two people comfortable. Will definitely be returning!

Great location but lack of service and attention to customer. Could be a gem if they improve the service. I arrived with luggage and no one to help get from the taxi. Only one person working at the reception. Still the location is the selling point

Chose this hotel based on Tripadvisor reviews and was not disappointed. The rooms and hotel are very clean. The staff is incredibly friendly and speak fluent english, spanish as well as the native language, Portuguese. Half a block to the beach and close to everything. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

We stayed at the hotel and have enjoyed it very much. Clean, nice staff and a good free breakfast. However, this review is for the restaurant. We had dinner here because our previous plans fell through. The food was excellent. My wife had the catch of the day over risotto. I had prawn and octopus over mashed plantains. Both dishes were very good. The staff was attentive and very friendly. Don't let the fact that this restaurant is in a hotel deter you from giving it a try. We were pleasantly surprised.

Five star experience at 3 star hotel! What a great little place for the budget traveller! Located right next to the beach, the Ipanema Inn is a little jewel in Rio. We stayed for two nights and were pleasantly surprised how much we got for such a great rate. The service was friendly and fantastic and the breakfast was so delicious. The waitress Isabela is both beautiful and speaks fluent English which helps. The crepes were just as good as any I've had in France. That being said, the amenities are few and far between. You definitely will need to bring your own specialty soaps, shampoos, etc if you need, however the hotel is within walking distance of a pretty well stocked supermarket. Lastly, I felt safe there as the area is pretty popular and touristy

Service and attitude were great across the board. Genuine smiles from everyone combined with a willingness to assist with every need. Genesio and the team there are simply a model for true hospitality! Nice clean restaurant with an elegant and well assembled breakfast.

Great hotel in a perfect location with a lovely staff. This five star review is primarily for the breakfast (comes with the room) which was literally the best I've ever had at a hotel. Incredible array of juices (seriously those alone in the U.S. would be worth like $10 each - there were delicious and interesting combos like carrot and orange juice and everything was super fresh) - fruits, cheeses, freshly-made pastries plus any type of eggs imaginable to order - I can't even do it justice you just have to experience this breakfast.
