Located just steps away from Ipanema Beach, this hotel offers unbeatable convenience and safety. I felt completely secure throughout my stay, even late at night—something rare in a busy city like Rio. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the overall vibe was welcoming and relaxed. With such great value and a prime location, I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rio!
We stayed for a week at this apartment in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, and overall had a great experience. The unit is simple but well-equipped with everything we needed—especially the bed, which was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on away from home. The concierge staff were warm and helpful, even if English was limited; we managed just fine using Google Translate. The view from the room was absolutely stunning—rolling hills, Leblon Beach, and the vibrant rooftops of Rocinha favela stretching out below. It felt like living in a postcard. My only minor concern was the cleaning service, which came at an extra cost of just over £30. While the cleaner visited daily, they only mopped the floors and took out the trash—towels and bedding weren’t changed all week, which felt a bit underwhelming. Still, that didn’t discourage us from wanting to return. The location, comfort, and views make it a top choice for anyone visiting Leblon.
The stay was absolutely fantastic, and the hostel’s location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Ipanema Beach with tons of restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. My only minor concern was the wristband used for check-in—it’s a bit noticeable, and in tourist-heavy areas, standing out like that can make you more vulnerable to scams or overcharging. I’ve experienced this firsthand in Salvador, so it’s not just a hypothetical worry. That said, everything else was top-notch: cleanliness, comfort, and overall vibe made this an excellent choice. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.
I absolutely loved my stay at Che Lagarto Ipanema! The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by vibrant local life. The vibe here is super chill and welcoming, making it feel more like staying with friends than a typical hostel. The beds were comfortable, perfect for a good night’s sleep after a day exploring Rio. What really stood out was the staff—they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to offer tips or just chat. It’s rare to find such a warm, genuine atmosphere in a budget-friendly place. I’m already planning my next visit!
Unfortunately, my experience was quite negative due to the lack of signage and lighting in the backyard, making the area extremely unsafe for elderly guests and children. I didn’t stay overnight—I only booked a day-use option through the platform for my birthday celebration and that of a close friend. As shown in photo 20, there’s a gap beside the staircase leading down to the yard, which becomes completely invisible at night because there’s no lighting in the area. While descending the stairs, I tripped over the gap and hit my head on a stone, resulting in six stitches above my eyebrow. To clarify—no alcohol was consumed during this incident. This could have easily turned into a much more serious accident. I reported the issue to the couple managing the booking, but they showed no intention to address or fix the hazard. Aside from that, there’s nothing else to comment on since I didn’t actually stay overnight. My only warning to future guests: this property is not recommended for families with young children or older adults due to the significant safety risks.
