Breakfast
However, there are several mentions of areas for improvement. Some guests found the breakfast to be lacking variety and felt that certain items, like bread, cold cuts and juice, were not replenished quickly enough. Issues with the breakfast service were noted, including cold coffee and eggs and the breakfast room being too small leading to a less pleasant experience when crowded. Despite these points, the general consensus indicates that the breakfast provided good quality and value overall with a very complete and satisfying selection that met many guests' expectations.
Dinner
On the positive side, the ground floor bar/restaurant was appreciated for late-night drinks and the hotel does offer a variety of meals, including tapas, which received favorable comments. However, the cafeteria's limited operating hours, particularly only being open in the mornings for breakfast and the cold service from some dining staff were points of contention. Alternatives are available nearby, providing additional dining options for guests seeking variety.
Rooms
However, guests also mention that some rooms are outdated with old furniture and decorations needing renovation. Lighting is a common issue, as many rooms are reported to be too dark. Noise can be a problem, both from the streets and neighboring rooms, hinting at poor soundproofing. While some rooms are described as luxurious and modern, others are noted as small and lacking in certain amenities, such as fridges or safes. Despite these issues, many guests find the rooms comfortable and the hotel well-located, making it a suitable choice for those looking for a spacious and clean accommodation option in the city.
Beds
In particular, king-size beds receive high marks for their size and comfort. Reviews mention both the comfort of the beds themselves and the good quality bedding provided. Some guests particularly appreciate the firm, supportive mattresses, although there are a few mentions of less comfortable experiences, such as mattresses dipping in the middle or pillows being too high.
Despite a few reports of discomfort, the overall sentiment leans strongly positive with many guests describing the beds using words like very comfortable, super comfortable and impeccable. The attention to cleanliness and regular room service contributes to the high comfort level, ensuring that linens are freshly changed and beds are well-maintained.
In summary, the Oca Ipanema Hotel stands out for its commitment to guest comfort, particularly with its beds, promising a restful stay for travelers who prioritize a good night’s sleep.

Staff
Wi-Fi
However, for many, the WiFi fell short of expectations. Issues ranged from weak signals, slow internet speeds with constant interruptions and WiFi networks not reaching certain areas, such as the seventh floor or specific rooms. Guests frequently reported problems with the WiFi not working properly even when using the correct password, describing the network as poor or even lousy. There were instances where the WiFi was so weak it was practically unusable. Despite the availability of WiFi, consistent and reliable internet access remains an area of concern for the hotel.
Parking
However, guests also noted several challenges. While the private garage is appreciated, it tends to be small and narrow, making it tricky to maneuver. Limited parking spaces mean it’s sometimes necessary to use public parking nearby, which the hotel has agreements with, such as the Mercadona supermarket parking. There were some mentions of miscommunication and misinformation about parking arrangements, causing frustration for some.
For those who prefer free parking, there are zones nearby, particularly favorable on weekends. The hotel’s location within the city center offers useful but tight and occasionally expensive parking options. Overall, the parking facilities at Oca Ipanema Hotel offer convenience but come with limitations that guests should consider when planning their stay.
Family
Parents traveling with children appreciate the ample space available in these rooms with some even featuring a small living room equipped with its own TV, ensuring entertainment for the little ones. The hotel's amenities extend beyond just the rooms; there is also a conscious effort to make pets feel welcome, as seen with the provision of a drinking bowl and a toy for canine companions.
Despite minor grievances like the uncomfortable sofa bed and some guests feeling that the triple rooms for three adults may be a bit cramped, the overall feedback is positive. Key highlights include the friendly and efficient staff, as well as the cleanliness maintained by the housekeeping team.

Nightlife
However, the central location comes with its downsides. Several guests noted that noise levels can be quite high, especially around midnight with disturbances from nearby apartments and street activity. The soundproofing in the hotel isn't the best, leading to potential disruptions for those sensitive to noise.
Despite the noise, many guests appreciated the hotel's excellent location which makes it easy to explore the city on foot. The hotel itself is described as clean and well-suited for business travelers with a variety of pillows to ensure a comfortable stay. For those wanting easy access to nightlife and the conveniences of city center living, Oca Ipanema Hotel's location is a strong advantage.
3 Star
Guests frequently mention the friendliness of the staff, which enhances the experience despite the simplicity of the facilities. The breakfast, though simple, often exceeds expectations for a hotel of this rating. While some reviews suggest that the three-star rating might be a bit generous, others view the services and amenities as fitting and satisfactory for such a classification.
The hotel’s surroundings are described as industrial, which may not appeal to all guests. However, the goodwill generated by cleanliness and professional service can compensate for the less attractive locale. Although some reviews hint at a need for further maintenance and modernization, overall, guests find the hotel correct and in line with what one would expect from a three-star establishment.
