ibis Copacabana Posto 5

Hotel have a great location, next to the tube and 5 min to the beach. Good location just on the edge of Copacabana and Ipanema (great beach for sunsets). Definitely recommend it.

When I checked in I had no soap in my room but after the staff took care of that I hade no other issues other than the television had 4 channels and none was espn. Outside of that good location and excellent staff.

I wanted to like this place. Very modern and updated. The rooms were small but nice and the bathrooms were updated and very good. Good split A/C. Wi-fi was great throughout the hotel. Staff was very responsive. Location is blocks from the beach and the metro is within sight. So what was the problem? The bed.... I woke up the first day with severe pain in my lower back. I thought I had strained it some way (doing nothing) but then as I lay on the bed more that day, it hurt even more. I had to start taking Advil. I looked under the sheet and there was a foam mattress topper so I took it off the bed thinking that might help. It was then I discovered that the entire mattress was foam. Second night on the bed, more pain, more Advil. When I would try to turn over in the bed, the pain was intense. For third night I tried sleeping on the side by the wall and it seemed a little more firm, so before the fourth night, I flipped the mattress to the other side of the room and slept on the side away from the wall again. This issue was the mattriess had been slept on more on one side and it had lost firmness. I had thought about getting a foam mattress back home in my spare bedroom, but I will never touch one of those things again. I stayed in 3 other hotels during this trip, all with regular mattresses, and no back pain. Bottomline... I will considering staying here again in an emergency but you shouldn't have to take Advil because of the bed on a vacation.

Helpful staff, good food, convenient location. A kettle for boiling water inside the room would have made it perfect.

Excellent staff, great location, rooms are small and plain, breakfast average same-same every day, very good internet

Nice hotel in good location, only a few blocks from the beach.

Love the hotel, I will stay again

Everything was as expected. I would stay there again.

good location; close to beach, restaurant and local transport. The area i feel safe to go out and enjoy the city.

The IBIS chain of hotels are budget hotels. It is like being in a private modern dorm room The hotel was extremely modern and clean and the rooms one the small side but are sound proof. It provided free internet from the room, breakfast and house cleaning each day. It is only 3 blocks from the beach. The only problem is that it does not offer US electrical sockets at 110 volts. It only has 220 volt socket. The hotel has a few transformers to give out but not enough for everyone so to be on the safe side you will need to bring your own and an electrical plug adapter. These transformers are HUGE and heavy! I lucked out and got one for my entire 7 day stay. You also cannot rely on the staff to speak English. You may luck up but speaking English is not a job requirement. The hotel is close to everything you need: the metro, the supermarkets, restaurants, the beach. My wallet could not have been happier!! If you are a solo traveler on a budget you will LOVE the IBIS chain of hotels. Much better than staying in a Hostel!
