What guests think

Across recent reviews, Arena Leme Hotel stands out for its beachfront setting and helpful staff, while guests also note great rooftop and room views alongside recurring criticisms about small or aging facilities, occasional noise, and inconsistent housekeeping or maintenance.

The quieter Leme end of Copacabana feels safer and less hectic, with restaurants, kiosks, taxis and attractions close by. Breakfast draws many positive comments, though the buffet layout can be crowded and variety or replenishment may disappoint at busy times. Expect a well-located, mid-range beach hotel with friendly service and some rough edges.

Beach front hotel , my first visit to Brazil, it was nice, but the hotel doesn't have car parking which was a pain to finsd a spot, you need to buy parking tickets for each day of your stay, as a tourist, you shouldn't have to deal with all of this, a hotel should have car parking, theycan charge for valet parking, but convenience is important not the cost.

Mind the lift! Someone was coming out of the lift and I was going to step in, but I got stuck between the two doors. I had to use my arms to keep the two doors open. My wrist was sore for one day. I reported the issue at Reception, and thought the incident was taken a bit too lightly. Still, they called a maintenance man who changed the setting, giving enough time for people to go out and inside the lift.

Fabulous hotel with rooftop pool. I would have given it an excellent score but for a couple of little things. The staff were really lovely, helpful and friendly. The little things that niggled were: no tea and coffee making facilities in room, no drawers to put anything in. No means of drying items. Upstairs there are 6 sunloungers but you can’t use umbrellas over them. And last was the layout of the breakfast area, when it’s busy it’s a bit of a claustrophobic nightmare

Hotel não possui estacionamento, você precisa ficar procurando vaga no entorno, que é muito concorrido devido a praia, ficamos uma hora esperando até conseguir estacionar. Se for de carro, existem opções melhores no entorno. Fomos alocados em um quarto dos fundos e como não tem nenhum isolamento acústico é muito barulhento. Flanelinhas desde 7h da manhã gritando, buzinas e trânsito intenso. Acordamos muito cedo por conta disso. Café da manhã bem simples. Piscina bem pequena e muito suja, engordurada. Local estava cheio, mas as pessoas não estavam utilizando a piscina por conta da sujeira. Tentamos contato pelos canais de atendimento pelo WhatsApp e pelo Instagram, mas fui ignorado.

No iron in the room. No napkin in the room. Served food in the deck was very cold and old because they bring from the main restaurant in the main level and they do not bring frequently. Location is awesome, walking score is 100 view is the best. Staffs are respectful and professional.

Fabulous breakfast buffet - had enough options for my husband who has a wheat allergy. Rooftop pool and bar area was a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy an amazing view of Copacabana Beach. Cocktails were delicious! Only negative comment - the ceiling in the bathroom had obvious signs of water damage and mildew. Brought it to their attention and they said that they would have maintenence check it out.

This hotel was nothing like the photos provided on Expedia. The room was small, had virtually no view other than of a roof and was noisy being low down on the first floor. The hotel does not appear to have any soundproofing and we could clearly hear people talking in the loft lobby outside our room at 6:30am. There was no hanging space for anything longer than a short top and nowhere for two people to sit other than on the bed. There was also a strange smell from the pillows. The supposedly smart tv would only communicate in Portuguese and the only channel we could watch was CNN. After arriving late evening we went to the bar on the top floor by the pool. We were not offered any menu but ordered a beer and a glass of wine. When we got the bill we had been charged 89 reais for a very ordinary glass of Chardonnay - by far the most expensive drink of our holiday. A good glass of wine at 5 star hotels we have stayed at in was 60 reais and we paid 24 reais a glass at lunch today for a very nice rose so how this downmarket hotel in Rio can charge that amount is beyond me. We actually felt quite uncomfortable in the bar due to other extremely noisy guests and, when we came to leave, we found that the door had been locked and we had to travel down in the service elevator. This was the last straw and although we had paid in advance for 4 nights we checked out after one and went to a proper hotel.

I would like to express my appreciation for the hotel's proximity to the beach. There are a few conveniently located convenience stores just a couple of blocks away. The hotel staff was very friendly and the lobby was clean. I stayed in room 807, which had a small balcony. While the balcony was quite small, it was still a nice place to get some fresh air. The room itself was pleasant and had been recently updated. It was equipped with several English channels, as well as YouTube and Netflix. However, there were a few issues with the room. The toilet seat was uncomfortably hard, and the shower leaked. I also found that there were often mosquitoes in the room, even though I kept the windows closed. I couldn't figure out how they were getting in. Additionally, the room was quite noisy. I could hear all the garbage trucks and buses picking up trash in the morning, and every car that passed by. It sounded as if the window was open, but it was not. I could also hear people yelling and talking outside. Therefore, I would not recommend a corner balcony room to anyone seeking a quiet environment. Despite these issues, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and would recommend it to others. Also the bed was really soft and comfortably 😌

If I could give this hotel 6 stars, I would! I'll start with warm, friendly and accommodating nature of all of the staff. FELIPE, one of the front desk staff, was phenomenal. Not only was friendly, he took extra time at every interaction to go the extra mile. From dinner suggestions and reservations, to fielding questions about the area(s), booking tours for us and almost always turning the computer around to provide a visual of where we were and where we were going... I hope your superiors pass this along to you, you definitely made our stay THAT much better. Upon our arrival, we were earlier than the properties "2pm" check-in time, but Felipe moved us to a different floor that a room would have been cleaned sooner, gave us 2 drink vouchers for the roof-top terrace and as promised - came down an hour later and got our keys (roughly 12:15pm) The hotel room was exactly as pictured and clean. We had a corner room with beach view and you could see all of Copacabana Beach, it was lovely. Complimentary breakfast was good, nothing too crazy, not underwhelming, ends at 10am. The cleaning lady for our room was so sweet! Always smiling, always did a great job, never been so happy to tip a human being! When trying to decide where to stay, having a gym was a factor for me. Despite being on vacation, I like to get even a quick 45/60 minute workout in, daily. The gym at the facility EXISTS, but is quite small and sliiightly underwhelming. Highly recommended! Will be back!

Our stay wasn't worth the price. We were expecting more. Floors and mirrors were dirty when given the room. Housekeeping was friendly and cleaned room. Good location in front of the beach, very safe area. Taxis were always accessible which was very convenient.Water bottles that were in the room fridge were not complimentary. It would had been nice to know. We wanted to extend our check out time but that want possible. Hotel clerk said our room was booked but we could extend our stay for $300+ dollars more. Which was ridiculous for staying 7 hours extra.

The location and breakfast were excellent. However, several issues made the stay frustrating. Be careful not to take the water bottles from the refrigerator—there’s a steep charge, with no warning about it. If I had known, I would have bought a case of water down the street for a fraction of the cost. Even though housekeeping did not clean the room daily or replenish water, I was charged for four bottles every day for five days. The shower stall was poorly designed, so the water didn’t drain properly. After I raised the concern, they moved us to another room and admitted it was a design flaw rather than a drain issue. The new room had the same drainage problem, though slightly better. On top of that, the house phone in the new room didn’t work. They promised an IT technician would fix it on Monday, but no one ever came before we checked out.

Pessoas disputando comida e mesas, além de ser um ambiente muito barulhento, sem qualquer tratamento acústico. Os colchões são extremamente moles, causando dor nas costas. Foi pedido late checkout como uma gentileza. Nos informaram que a “cota” de late checkout estava completa e que deveríamos sair ao meio-dia em ponto.

We've stayed at many Rio hotels over the years, and unfortunately hotels in this world-class destination can often seem indifferent. They tend to be dated, not perfectly kept up, in need of cleaning, noisy, or with half-hearted service, a classic Rio complaint. Arena Leme was different. Everything crisp, new, clean, well maintained up. Service attentive and courteous. No need to even mention the fabulous views and location in the quietest corner of Copacabana /Leme beach, which still means it's buzzing with activity. Well done, Arena.
