I had mixed feelings about my stay at Mar Ipanema Hotel. The location was fantastic, just a couple of blocks from the beach, but the service and room conditions left much to be desired. While I appreciated the friendly staff who tried to assist, my room was small, and some amenities were lacking or outdated.

My stay at Mar Ipanema Hotel was a mixed bag. The location was perfect, just blocks away from the beach and surrounded by shops and restaurants. However, the wifi was painfully slow and the noise from the DJ at the nearby restaurant made it hard to relax. On a brighter note, the staff was incredibly friendly and the room was spacious and clean.

I really enjoyed my stay at Mar Ipanema Hotel. the location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The hotel had a modern feel with clean accommodations, and I loved the complimentary breakfast—it was truly the highlight of my mornings! However, the noise from the street on Friday night was a bit disruptive, and I had a couple of minor issues with the room that needed attention.

The included breakfast was beyond my expectations. lots of delicious options and fresh fruit to start my day right! However, the on-site restaurant is a bit pricey, so I recommend checking out local eateries too.

The location of the hotel is definitely its best asset, just a short walk to Ipanema Beach. though my experience was somewhat marred by cleanliness issues in my room.

My stay at Mar Ipanema Hotel was quite enjoyable, though there were some bumps along the way. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making me feel welcomed. However, the breakfast experience fell short due to the temporary arrangement with a nearby place, which wasn't as appealing. Overall, the hotel's location and amenities were solid, but my experience had a mix of highs and lows.

Rooms

My room was clean and modern, featuring a king-size bed and a nice layout. The laminate floors and modern bathroom made it comfortable. I appreciated the ability to open the windows for fresh air. However, I did notice the floors weren't as clean as I would have liked during my stay.

The hotel’s location was fantastic, just a short walk to Ipanema Beach. Being close to many restaurants and attractions added great value to my stay. I enjoyed exploring the local area without needing to travel far.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was a letdown, as the hotel restaurant was under renovation. I ended up going to a nearby place, which didn’t meet my expectations. I think serving breakfast on the rooftop would have been much better, given the great views.

Facilities

The hotel provided essential amenities like beach chairs and umbrellas, which were a nice touch. The rooftop area had a gym and offered stunning views, making it a lovely spot to relax. However, I wished there were a bar in the hotel itself instead of waiting for service.
