Noise isolation non-existent
The room was facing the main street and noise isolation was non-existent. In fact, there were visible physical holes between the window and the wall, which let all the noise from the street inside the room. Since this was a Friday night and there are night clubs next to the hotel, it felt like I was on the dance floor and not in my bed. Noise islolation between the connecting rooms was also non-existebt. The guy next door had a stomach bug and was very ill all night. I heard -everything-.
Breakfast was ok/average. Staff were kind and helpful. Sadly, I cannot recommend this hotel.

Our stay was great and the staff was great. My only issues were water leaking from the AC unit and somewhere else in the bathroom causing some wet areas on the floor.

Great location, friendly staff
This is a nice hotel with very friendly staff. It is a little overpriced now, but prices have increased a lot in Rio. You are paying for the location, near the beach and in one of the safest neighborhoods in Rio.

Location is awesome. Beds and room were clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. I’d stay here again because the price is reasonable for the location. But - the Sink would back up. Grout on shower tiles was black. WiFi has no password so it was overwhelmed and useless.

Stay away! I booked 2 rooms (connecting), they instead gave me a single room with a double bed. Bait and switch by the hotel.
Terrible manager on site, did not care. Had to call credit card to dispute charge. Left the property and booked another.
Saw another person complaining while I was there too. Seams like a typical story at this hotel. So many other options in Rio. Pick another!!

I recently stayed at the Mar Ipanema Hotel and it was an absolute nightmare.
First and foremost, the cleanliness of the hotel is appalling. There is mold growing in the bathroom, and the windows are so filthy you can barely see through them. It’s clear that housekeeping is not a priority here.
The noise levels are unbearable. There is continuous construction on the 5th floor during the day, and the noise permeates through the entire hotel. It's impossible to get any rest or relaxation with the constant hammering and drilling.
Moreover, the area around the hotel feels unsafe. I did not feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood, especially at night.
Overall, I would never stay at the Mar Ipanema Hotel again. It was a deeply disappointing and unpleasant experience. Save yourself the trouble and find somewhere else to stay.

My recent stay at the Mar Ipanema Hotel was nothing short of a disaster. The lack of cleanliness was immediately evident, with mold visibly growing in the bathroom and windows that were covered in grime, making it nearly impossible to see outside. It's apparent that cleanliness is severely neglected here.
The noise level was intolerable. There is ongoing construction on the 5th floor during the day, and the loud noise reverberates throughout the entire hotel. Finding any peace or quiet is out of the question with the incessant banging and drilling.
Additionally, the hotel is situated in an unsafe area. I felt uneasy walking around the neighborhood, particularly after dark.
In conclusion, I would never consider staying at the Mar Ipanema Hotel again. It was an extremely disappointing and unpleasant experience. Do yourself a favor and choose a different place to stay.

melhor localização em Ipanema após frente praia
cafe deixa a desejar no geral, mas principalmete pelo desconforto que é se abaixar e pegar louca. manjutencao em geral do hotel tbem deixa a desejar, a exemplo do "tapete" nas janelas dos quartos para abafar ruido de chuva e q se encontrava em pessimo estado na suite 607 p.ex.
