Very disappointed with this hotel. The structure is a bit old, the basement room is terrible. Breakfast is monotonous and basic, it is recommended to vary. The breakfast room is freezing due to the low temperatures of the air conditioner.

Just average

This hotel had potential. Bedroom was spacious and appeared to had been recently renovated. But I was placed on the second floor facing street, and it was SO NOISY. I could hear what people were chatting on the street. Metal carts retrieving linen in the morning was so loud. Breakfast was good. It had a good spread with fruits and pastries. I am familiar with Brazilian food and the language, but there was no sign in English explaining what the pastries were. I know some had ham or chicken, for example. But a vegetarian wouldn't know. I asked one of the attendants one day and even he didn't know what it was. I also had issue getting the shower at the right temp. Again, there was no indication which side was hot or cold. It seems the hotel is not really geared toward foreigners, and the experience may be better if at higher floor.

The buffet has little variety: the dishes do not change throughout the days, which can become repetitive if you plan to stay for several nights. Regarding cleanliness, we found mold in the bathroom, which shows a lack of proper maintenance. I believe this is not about the staff’s attitude, but more about the management not providing the right tools to deliver better service. On the positive side, the staff was very kind. Both in the breakfast area and in housekeeping, they were always attentive and friendly, which made the stay more pleasant.

Estuve en el apartamento 1502, donde no llega la señal de internet, esto fue bastante molesto. De igual manera, no dejan ninguna amenidade (crema para el cuerpo, botellas de agua, etc), nada es una pena realmente, porque no es un hospedaje barato.

Tudo muito bom, o que deixou a desejar somente é que a internet é muito ruim dentro dos quartos e o cartão de acesso aos quartos sempre dá problema então tem que descer na portaria, ah e não me esquecendo que peguei um banheiro em que o box não tinha porta então molhou bastante o banheiro, mas de resto tudo muito bom, indico.

Leider nicht zu empfehlen – starke Feuchtigkeit im Gebäude Das einzig Positive an unserem Aufenthalt im Hotel Bossa Nova Ipanema war das freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal. Bereits beim Betreten des Hotels fiel uns ein unangenehm feuchter Geruch auf, der sich auch im Zimmer wiederfand. Das gesamte Gebäude wirkt stark durchfeuchtet. Unser Zimmer war anscheinend vor nicht allzu langer Zeit frisch gestrichen geworden – das war deutlich am Geruch zu erkennen. Vermutlich soll so ein zugrunde liegendes Feuchtigkeitsproblem kaschiert werden. Im Badezimmer waren deutliche Spuren von Schimmel zu sehen. Nach drei Tagen Aufenthalt war unsere Kleidung in den Koffern feucht, selbst Medikamentenschachteln waren durchweicht. Wir waren sehr froh, als wir auschecken konnten. In unserem nächsten Hotel mussten wir sogar ungetragene Kleidung reinigen lassen, weil alles unangenehm feucht gerochen hat. Auch das Frühstück war wenig überzeugend. Es wirkte unhygienisch und eine einzelne Servicekraft ist mit der Betreuung der vielen Gäste leider völlig überfordert. Insgesamt war unser Aufenthalt sehr unangenehm. Wir können das Hotel nicht weiterempfehlen.
