We recently spent five days at the Sol Ipanema in Rio. We were on a high floor with an ocean view that was spectacular. The room was spacious enough and very clean, with a very comfortable king-size bed. Bathrobes were provided, which is always a nice surprise, but no tissues, which we found odd. Towels are fluffy, but only one... More

We just spent five wonderful days in Rio and based on the reviews from Trip Advisor chose to stay at the Sol Ipanema hotel. It seemed to us to be the best combination of location, services and value for money. The rooms in the hotel are functional and well-equipped but not glamorous and are quite small. However, we chose a... More

Our city view room on the 13th floor was just fine for the amount of time we spent in it. It was clean, spacious and had a comfy bed. A small inconvenience was that there were no tissues either in the bedroom or bathroom and they supply you with only two bath towels. I guess we could have put in... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Sol Ipanema at the end of February following a cruise around South America and were very pleased with our choice in hotels. We had a city view on the 12th floor...not much of view but that didn't bother us. Our room was very quiet with no noticeable noise from the street. There was plenty... More

In late Feb., 2013, we stayed at the Sol Ipanema in Rio De Janeiro. We had read so many negative reviews, especially about the slow & run-down elevators, that we really didn't know what to expect. Well, to our delight, the Hotel has been renovated, & there are two new elevators that worked like a dream! The City room was... More

We stayed here after pondering where on earth to stay in Rio during winners parade after carnival and am glad we chose Sol Ipanema. We had a city view room which is fine if you are planning on using the room for sleeping and not a lot else! Rooms were surprisingly spacious and everything was clean and the bed was... More

After alot of deliberation we finally chose to stay in the Sol Ipanema whilst in Rio early March. Like most hotels of this type in Rio it is not cheap so really it comes down to location and personal preference. The hotel is directly opposite the beach and has fantastic views from its seaview rooms. We chose to pay the... More

The hotel charged my credit card without my authorization. The employees told me they would only be able to credit my credit card back within 3 days. When i asked for a letter from the hotel saying that what i was told would be done, they refused to do it. I asked to speak to the manager, Carlos [--], who... More

Stayed here in mid Feb for the last weekend of carnival in a city view room for about GBP200 a night. We spend ages trying to work out where to stay for carnival, and with prices being hiked at that time we opted for this one. Our impression from the slightly rubbish website and the reviews on trip advisor was... More
