Hotel is decent - fairly nice decor in rooms, great views, reasonable breakfast. The location is superb - right on Ipanema beach, good restaurants and bars around the corner, safe neighbourhood. They have free beach chairs and umbrellas which is great - good for a hassle free visit to the beach across the street. more

I had a pleasant experience at this hotel, particularly with the staff and the multi-lingual folks at the front desk. The room was clean and comfortable, the bathroom modern, and the hotel location was ideal, given that it is in one of the safest and most charming parts of Rio. The breakfast buffet is superb, with a variety of options... more

My husband and I stayed here in April and it was perfect for us. The location is awesome, right across the street from fabulous Ipanema beach, right down the block from the Garota de Ipanema bar and lots of other great bars/restaurants. The view from the rooftop pool area is amazing. The pool itself is tiny, but the bartender is... more

This hotel has NO, repeat NO, soundproofing. When the person next door is speaking, it sounds like they are IN your room, so much so that I can make out EVERY word of their conversation!! You can hear the showers turn on and the toilet, etc. Also, although I am high on the 13th floor, I can still hear the... more

This hotel is situated right opposite the sexiest part of Ipanema beach - where you'll get an eyeful of the gorgeous locals every weekend. Don't expect the Copacabana Palace for this price, it's the best value we've found in Rio, and is close to all the nightlife of Ipanema - an area that is way cooler than Copacabana... The rooms... more

We moved to this hotel quite literally in the middle of the night after being terribly disappointed with another hotel. The Sol Ipanema staff were welcoming and gave us a fantastic 14th floor room overlooking Ipanema Beach. This hotel has an excellent location, not only on the beach (don't miss the cute rooftop bar with a panoramic view) but also... more

We spent 4 nights at this hotel located on the beach in the Ipanema part of Rio. The hotel is decent, with adequate rooms, a pool, a restaurant and a nice breakfast. The staff was just OK. The best parts are the great location and, for the Ipanema, very reasonably prices. We felt very safe walking in the general area... more

After reviewing every hotel in Ipanema, my hubby and I booked, due to price point, at this hotel. We had a terrific stay. We had GREAT service, excellent room overlooking the water, and even the poolside area was a pleasant surprise. The hotel allowed us to check in early, check out late, use all their facilities, and offered to watch... more

We had a wonderful stay at Sol Ipanema and only have good thoughts of our 8 days stay. The staff, room, and food were great. The location was great and our Ocean front room was superb. more
