Aquarela do Leme
This was my first time staying at a hostel in Rio, and it’s been an absolutely fantastic experience so far. The place is spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with a warm, welcoming vibe from the moment I arrived. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful—always ready to offer tips on local attractions, transportation, or even just a chat. It’s perfectly located; I could walk to the nearest bus stop in just a few minutes, making getting around the city super easy. The rooftop lounge area is a real highlight—spacious, relaxed, and full of comfy spots to sit, work on my laptop, or just enjoy the views. Whether you’re traveling solo or looking to meet new people, this hostel strikes the perfect balance between comfort, convenience, and community. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rio!
Bamboo Rio Hostel
Staying at Bamboo Rio Hostel was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Rio de Janeiro. Located just a short walk from Copacabana Beach, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring the vibrant neighborhood. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—natural bamboo decor gives the place a peaceful, eco-friendly vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great local tips and even assisting with transportation arrangements. My room was compact but clean, well-maintained, and had excellent air conditioning. I slept like a baby every night. What really stood out was the value—affordable price, high comfort, and genuine hospitality. If you're looking for a cozy, authentic stay in Rio without breaking the bank, this hostel is an absolute must-visit. I’d definitely come back.
Gaia Hostel
We stayed here for seven nights and it was flawless from start to finish. We booked both a private room and a shared dorm, and every experience was excellent. The rooms and common areas were always spotlessly clean—really pleasant to be in. Hot water was available every single night, which is a big plus. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming with constant smiles. We absolutely loved spending our week here! The location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk to the metro station. Being right in the heart of the city makes getting around effortless, whether you're heading into the downtown area or the beaches (by car or bike). The photos on the website are completely accurate—no exaggeration at all. This place truly delivers on everything it promises. A top choice for travelers looking for comfort, cleanliness, and great value.
Tupiniquim Hostel Rio de Janeiro
The hostel is conveniently located near the metro, making it easy to get around Rio. However, the staff experience was extremely disappointing. We had to ask permission every time we wanted to store or retrieve items from the shared fridge—repeated requests made it incredibly inconvenient. In the morning, we needed our breakfast supplies right away, but were forced to wait two hours because the owner refused to let us access our things until the cleaner arrived, even though it was just one floor up. When I went to get my stuff, the owner became angry, yelled at me, and used a disrespectful term I won’t repeat. At that point, we left immediately. While the location is good and prices are reasonable, the lack of basic respect and poor communication completely ruined our stay. Not worth it.
Ipanema Beach House
Absolutely fantastic stay at Ipanema Beach House! The moment we arrived, Frank greeted us with such a warm vibe and exceptional hospitality. He went above and beyond by sharing personalized recommendations on local attractions and hidden gems around Rio. What stood out the most was being able to store our luggage before check-in—perfect for exploring the beachfront or grabbing a drink nearby without rushing. It made our arrival so much more relaxed and enjoyable. From start to finish, this was an outstanding experience. Highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Rio!
Casa Amarela Guest House - Zona Sul
Absolutely stunning location right by the sea—calm, safe, and incredibly welcoming. Staying with the lovely Lucia was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Rio. Her home is cozy, clean, and full of charm, and she greets you like family. She’s incredibly helpful, offering practical tips and local insights that made exploring the city so much easier. The breakfast is fantastic—fresh, generous, and delicious. Plus, it’s super easy to get around Rio from here: just a short walk or quick ride to beaches, attractions, and vibrant neighborhoods. And don’t miss hearing about Joanna—the turtle who lives nearby! It’s such a fun little story that adds character to the whole experience. If you’re looking for an authentic, warm, and memorable stay in Rio, this place is a must-book. Highly recommend!
Casa 48 Guesthouse
Our family stay at Casa 48 was absolutely unforgettable. The warm and welcoming hospitality from Valentin and Félix made us feel right at home. We even celebrated New Year’s Eve together with the hosts in a truly unique and cozy atmosphere—so much charm and genuine connection. The location is perfect for exploring Rio, especially starting from Santa Teresa. You can walk or hop on a quick metro ride to reach various neighborhoods. And the view? Absolutely breathtaking—Rio spreads out before you like a postcard. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s an experience. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for authenticity, comfort, and heartwarming moments.
Mambembe Hostel
The hostel has a spacious and welcoming vibe with plenty of room to relax and socialize. The double room was nicely decorated and made for a comfortable stay. However, I'm disappointed with the lack of communication and refund after canceling my booking—despite promises, I waited over three months with no response or resolution. It's also worth noting that safety concerns mean you’ll need to rely on Uber to get around at night, which adds extra cost and inconvenience. While the location and atmosphere are decent, poor customer service significantly impacts the overall experience.
Da Lapa Design Hotel - Hostel
This place is absolutely stunning! The Da Lapa Design Hotel - Hostel has a fresh, modern vibe with brand-new facilities throughout. My Junior Suite felt like a mini apartment—complete with a fridge, cooktop, and all the kitchen essentials. It’s perfect for travelers who want to prepare their own meals. The staff were incredibly friendly, especially Luciano at reception—he went above and beyond to help. I’d highly recommend this spot for solo female travelers; it feels safe with plenty of security cameras in common areas. Right on the street, you’ve got a grocery store, a bakery, and within just 80 meters, there’s a bar (Bar da Lapa), subway station, burger joint, and two restaurants—great for exploring without walking far. The only downside? It gets pretty lively and noisy starting Wednesday night due to the nearby bars. But overall, the location, comfort, and atmosphere make up for it. A top choice if you're looking for style, convenience, and a welcoming vibe in Rio.
Vila Carioca Hostel
Staying at Vila Carioca Hostel was a delightful experience. The place is simple yet charming, nestled on a quiet, closed street with minimal traffic and noise—perfect for a peaceful night's sleep. The staff were warm and welcoming, making the stay feel personal and comfortable. Breakfast was basic but satisfying, and the location is ideal for exploring Botafogo’s vibrant neighborhood. There are plenty of shops, cafes, and eateries within walking distance. Plus, bus access to major attractions is convenient and reliable. It’s a great base for travelers who want to enjoy Rio de Janeiro without the hassle. Highly recommend this cozy, well-located hostel.
Ibis Styles RJ Botafogo
The service, staff, rooms, and breakfast were all excellent! I highly recommend this hotel—100% satisfied. We stayed in a standard room (the most affordable option), and it was surprisingly comfortable and well-appointed. The location is fantastic—close to public transit, local restaurants, and attractions, plus the area feels safe and welcoming. The only small suggestion: adding a small rooftop terrace or swimming pool would be a nice touch to elevate the experience even further. But honestly, everything else is spot-on. This place truly delivers value and comfort—definitely a top pick for anyone visiting Rio.
Rio Spot Homes Vista Mar D027
Staying at Rio Spot Homes Vista Mar D027 was an absolute highlight of my trip to Rio de Janeiro. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach and close to public transit, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself is clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I especially loved the sea view from the balcony—it’s peaceful and calming, especially in the morning when the sun rises over the water. The neighborhood feels safe and vibrant, with small local shops and cafes right downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. It’s rare to find such a great mix of comfort, convenience, and value. I’d definitely book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.
