First hotel I check for availability whenever I need to go to Rio. Excelente location in Arpoador (small strip of land right between Copacaban and Ipanema) and close to the Ipanema metro station. Clean, generous suites with separate social area and bedroom (both with independent flat screen TVs), silent and new A/Cs, and free wi-fi (unheard of in Rio). Keep... More

This was my second stay at this hotel but this room (706) was on the top floor opposite to the street. The bedroom is quiet, there are trees next to the large balcony, I really enjoyed the room. The staff was very helpful at my arrival but a bit confused when I was checking-out. The breakfast is good but you... More

I found the location of the Mercure Apartments RJ Arpoador very good. It was located just few minutes walk to the park and to Ipanema. Its almost as if it was located in the "centre" between Ipanema and Copacabana. There were cafes, shops and supermarkets close to the hotel which made it convenient to get items like water and snacks... More

Just in the middle between Copacabana and Ipanema in an area that was busy and felt safe 24/7. Nice hotel with pretty rooms with kitchen. The kitchen was close to unusable because of lack of kitchen utensils. The sofabed for a third person wasn´t very comfortable but ok. Dirty matress. The aircondition could hardly keep the temperatur down and had... More

The A/C couldn't cope up with the heat from outside at day, but at night it worked well. Breakfast was good. Staff helpfull and as the hotel was not full, they... More

My brother and I stayed at this hotel from the 21st - 24th of Jan then 4th - 8th of March as we went to the jungle in between. We got to the hotel at about 1am and were shown straight to our room. The apartment had everything we needed apart from extra plates but were given more after asking... More

This property needs a major facelift. The room is large for Rio standards but its basic. Dirty walls, torn curtains, the mirror in the bathroom needed replaced. Poor construction finishing. When we arrived, the room was clean but barely. The floor was really dirty and had a film of sand throughout. The staff were just present and really had no... More

Mercure Arpoador is a nice hotel on a street that connects Ipanema beach and Copacabana. It is a short walk (<5 mins.) to either. The hotel is on a busy street in a safe neighborhood. There are several good restaurants in walking distance and one is next door to hotel. Hotel is clean and the mini-apartments are nice. Staff is... More
