"The location is perfect! You’ll be right in the middle of Copacabana beach. Shopping and restaurants are one block away in any direction. Staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend a room with a balcony. The views of the water are spectacular! Check in and check out are easy and they will accommodate early check in if they have the room. Overall, one of the best hotels on Copacabana Beach!"

"We totally recommend it! The location is amazing—close to all the key points in the city. It’s the only hotel in Rio directly on the beach, without a road separating it from the sand. The restaurant has amazing views, whether you’re going for breakfast or catching the sunset while sipping caipirinhas. The entire staff was amazing—friendly, informative, and always very, very helpful and welcoming. Special shoutout to Marcus and Matheus at the front desk. Rodrigo and Bruno at the restaurant were the best!! We spent 5 days in Rio, then headed to Lençóis Maranhenses. When we came back to Rio, we had originally planned to stay at another hotel, but we canceled and decided to return to Arpoador. We’re definitely coming back in the future. Thank you for everything!!"
