“We enjoyed to be in the heart of Rio - Arpoador”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Mercure Apartments in Rio are almost usual Mercure style hotel but the accommodation is 1 bedroom and living room with kitchenette. Prices are rather high but the level of service is also high enough to satisfy a customer.

Pros:
- location! it was chosen intentionally to stay straight between Copacabana and Ipanema. And it is worth staying here I must say. Although your room's window provide no view here, but it's only 5 minutes walk to the greatest city beaches. Arpoador cape is really nice presenting fantastic view of Ipanema beach. The neighborhood is quiet and safe enough and you can walk here in the evening with no worry;
- friendly reception staff works perfectly when checking in and out; also they could advise you two options for city tour (5-6 hour express and 8 hours full including rodizio dinner) and best places to visit nearby;
- great breakfast, all that you desire in the morning is here and fruit choice is extensive;
- nice free coffee machine in the lobby;
- convenient free wi-fi internet in the room.

The only complaint was:
- small hotel pool was out of service during our stay, but with announcement provided.

Room Tip: Ask for a high floor room

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

Having visited Rio a number of times this is the only hotel I have returned to.
The location is ideal...very close to both Ipanema and Copa and the area has a much 'safer' feel than some parts of the city.
I have always found the staff to be helpful and although not all are fluent in English this has never been a problem.
I do not take breakfast at the hotel as there really is no need...rooms are well equiped with a small kitchen area and a very short walk to to local shops in the morning for fruit,warm bread and juice is the perfect start to the day!
All told with hotel prices rising rapidly in Rio this hotel represents good value in a great location

“convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2011

I stayed in Mercure for business. The hotel is an apartment hotel so you have kitchen and all. The couch in the living room was quite old and distracted. The bedroom is very nice.
The staff is absolutely helpful and friendly but not everyone speaks English - like go for breakfast and forget about English! I don't speak Portuguese so it was tough. Called for room service, they talked in Portuguese and I caught the word reception so called them. The reception staff is quite friendly.
