Own Ipanema Visconti

We really enjoyed our time at Own! We were cautious about safety in Rio and we were so pleased to stay at a property where we felt safe but also had some freedom to walk around. There were great restaurants and bars near by that we could walk to. The beach staff (Ana #104) also really made the trip for us. (Not connected to the hotel but as an Own guest you get free chairs at this beach spot.) The room was huge and a great value for money. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve had in a very long time! Staff were also very kind and helpful. I ended up getting food poisoning (local bakery) and they brought up Gatorade for me during the middle of the night. AC worked great and WiFi was decent.

We really can’t say anything negative about the hotel. The only thing was we worked with the hotel staff to get an excursion for sightseeing and ended up getting the wrong one booked and wasted a bit of our day. Was just a miscommunication but with the hotel having a relationship with the tour agency I would have expected them to have all the details.

Nice hotel. Great they have the free beach umbrella/chair service. Its fairly good location (uber is cheap). Staff are good and most have good English (although the most helpful staff member didn't actually speak any English!). Breakfast was good (when they had the toaster waffles out) - although would recommend maple syrup please!

The rooms are not brand new so some things could get replaces (such as bathroom door). But the cleaners did a great job every day. Make sure the toaster waffles and pancakes are out every day for brekky!

Eduardo at reception and Antonio were fantastic, very helpful, informative and profesional. The facilities were good and the hotel's spot on Ipanema beach perfect.
