About

Injoy Lofts & Studios Ipanema

Injoy Lofts & Studios Ipanema is a small aparthotel on Rua Joana Angelica, just a short walk from Ipanema Beach and the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. The property offers 13 self-catering studios and lofts, each with a kitchenette, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Guests consistently highlight the practical rooms and the friendly, efficient staff.

The location is the standout feature: a peaceful neighbourhood with supermarkets, bakeries, bars and restaurants within easy reach, and both the beach and the lagoon walkable in minutes. The property operates with a self check-in system communicated via WhatsApp, which works well even for late arrivals.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Location between beach and lagoon — Guests consistently mention the proximity to Ipanema Beach and the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, both within an easy walk, along with a peaceful, safe neighbourhood full of shops, bakeries, bars and restaurants.
  • Well-equipped kitchens in every unit — Each loft and studio comes with a kitchenette including a microwave, fridge, electric kettle and cookware, which guests found handy for self-catering.
  • Friendly, flexible staff — Reviewers repeatedly highlight the helpful and efficient team, from smooth self check-in via WhatsApp to luggage storage after checkout.
  • Great value for money — Guests feel the fully equipped apartments, central location and included amenities justify the price, especially for groups or longer stays.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No reception on site — The property operates with a self check-in process communicated via WhatsApp rather than a traditional front desk, which may feel unusual if you prefer in-person service.
  • Small number of units — With only 13 rooms, availability may be limited and the property might lack the facilities of a larger hotel, such as an on-site restaurant or gym.
  • Rooms facing interior may lack views — The Standard Studio is listed as 'without view', so some units look onto an internal area rather than the street or lagoon.

“A family-friendly hotel in a wonderful location, close to everything. The staff were flexible and the family atmosphere was a pleasant surprise. The family studio had air conditioning, a safe, and a flat-screen TV. Facilities were really good, and being right by the airport made it easy to get a cab. Lots of good restaurants nearby – Bar da Esquina was a great spot to relax.”
