Arena Leme Hotel

Great breakfast, one of the guys from reception staff was a bit cold but besides that everyone was amazing. The view at rooftop was amazing, I would recommend! This is a hotel at the end (quieter) part of Copacabana.

The pool was very small and only useful for cooling off. The breakfast was great other than the hot dishes which were largely cut hotdog and tomato sauce or with onions and barely lukewarm despite that I would highly recommend the property as a staff or friendly and had a wonderful location on LEME Beach part of Copacabana and close to everything.

First impressions were excellent. The room looked amazing, and we had a beautiful ocean view overlooking Copacabana Beach. Unfortunately, there were a couple of issues with the room that really put a downer on the stay. Most of the USB points in the room did not work, especially the ones near the bed, which was quite inconvenient. The biggest issue, however, was an unpleasant smell in the room. This smell was not present in other areas of the hotel, only in the room itself. It was so bad that I had to move from the first room to a second one. It is such a shame, as I would love to stay at this hotel again on my next trip to Rio, but the smell was very off putting. On a positive note, the location is excellent. I really loved where the hotel is situated. The breakfast was also very good, with plenty of options, and the staff went above and beyond. My son especially enjoyed the pancakes, and they made sure he had them, which was a lovely touch. The staff in general were outstanding. They interacted so well with my young son, and he still talks about them. They were friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel welcome. I also really appreciated that they extended my room time due to a very late return trip. The rooftop area is another highlight and well worth visiting. Overall, while there were some disappointing room aspects, but the staff and location were exceptional.

Maybe the best hotel breakfast buffet I've ever seen, with about 12 different fresh fruits options (watermelon, mango, guava, pineapple, casaba, grapes, orange slices, fresh squeezed orange juice and more). Plus usual items and terriffic coffee.

My room had a very strange and unpleasant small. The management said that it came from the sea, but the smell was not present in any other area of the hotel. Relative to my many stays in other Leme hotels, I would rank this the lowest for service and quality of breakfast. It was adequate if there are no other options.
