Hotels near Lagoa Stadium, Rio de Janeiro

Loved my stay at Che Lagarto Ipanema! Amazing location, chill atmosphere, and awesome people. Beds were comfy and the staff were super helpful. Can’t wait to come back!

The breakfast was delicious. Clean and pleasant. The rooms are cozy. The upper floors have a great sauna, pool, and relaxation area. We are happy. The rooms have hot showers and a pleasant atmosphere. Blankets and duvets

The rooftop pool is fantastic, with good views of the ocean, Copacabana, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the favelas to the side. The hotel itself is fine, with a typical breakfast – eggs, cheese, ham, fruit, cereal, yogurt, tea, coffee, and juice.

Great location, close to the beach and local shops. Highly recommend if on a budget and want to be close to copacabana. Only real negative is there online booking which doesn’t really accommodate non Brazilian guests. Tried to do before arriving, received about 10 emails to do this! And even then it would not accept without certain information that only Brazilian nationals have. And when we got to the hotel, they asked us to do the online check in too, which took 45 mins or so for them to realise there is a fault with it. And then checked us in within 2 mins.

The best location! Situated close to bars/restaurants/ beaches. Victor was super nice and accommodating. The suit on the group floor was comfortable but a bit noisy as it is behind reception; aside from that the breakfast was lovely and again location was everything.

We stayed for two nights and everything was spectacular. We highlight the free beach loungers and umbrella service. Very good!!! The breakfast is also very complete and abundant Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location We will return!

Fantastic luxury hotel, with brilliant pool area. Walk across the street and your on the beach which is soo quiet compared to others in Rio. Rooms are very spacious, the bed and pillows were fantastic, and the view of the beach is worth the extra. Very good breakfast with good choices. The hotel is also very secure with all entry points from the outside covered by security. Only downside is the bar and waiting service at the pool area. 

The hotel has a nice location on the beach, but the property could do with some updates. The first room I went into had a funny smell, so I reported it to reception. The male receptionist looked at me, and as if he doubted my word After I insisted, he assigned me a new room, but it was left to me to move my luggage. . No support was offered and I couldn’t be bothered to ask. I did ask if there would be any complimentary water put in the room. He said he would get housekeeping to put some water, but I’m still waiting two days later.  Power outlets in the room are limited and not designed for modern travel. No USB points. The TV is old and not smart or Internet connected. There are no cable channels so nearly all of the channels are local language apart from one CNN news channel in English.. The hotel is quite noisy and dogs. The walls are thin and guests scrape furniture across the marble floors. This is relatively easy to remedy if the hotel cared. The rooftop pool was disappointing as it’s quite small and normally full of kids. The restaurant is closed after breakfast. There is a bar, but it’s never open.. The biggest problem I had was the Internet. It did not work properly in my room and kept cutting out every few minutes. I had to stand in the corridor or come down to the lobby in order to get any decent coverage. I complained to the staff, but they did nothing and just told me it works.. This was extremely frustrating and I certainly wouldn’t come back to this hotel again.

Great hotel with a luxurious view of the most famous beach. Yes, there are some minor issues, like sometimes having to wait 7 minutes for an elevator, but I don't consider that a problem. It's a 30-story hotel with 6 elevators and many rooms, so you can imagine. The breakfasts are a bit repetitive and could be improved, but they do have fresh orange juice, which is a nice touch. There aren't always enough hotel umbrellas and chairs on the beach, but I don't see that as critical either. The bed was good, and I slept excellently! My birthday fell during my stay, and the hotel gave me a lovely surprise! Thank you! I'll definitely be back.

For the location and price, the hotel's minor inconveniences can be forgiven during peak season. What's great: Location - five minutes from Copacabana Beach Spacious room Good water pressure and temperature in the shower Very friendly reception staff What's okay: Very comfortable beds There's a refrigerator, TV, safe, closet, and hairdryer What's not so great: Antediluvian ”air conditioning” A window into the wall Everything is old, the towels and linens are well-used: washed, but not pristine white A sliver of soap from the previous tenants was left in the bathroom (which speaks to the ”thoroughness” of the cleaning) However, for the price and location, these are minor issues, and overall, I would recommend the hotel to those who aren't picky and budget-conscious.
