Before coming to Rio, I was a bit worried about safety, but this hostel completely put my mind at ease. It has its own secure entrance, which made me feel very safe. The metro station is just a few minutes’ walk, making transportation super convenient. There are several supermarkets nearby, which is very handy, and the beach is only about a 20-minute walk away—perfect for a stroll or relaxing. I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely choose this hostel again next time I visit Rio!

This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in! It has great vibes, it is modern and clean. And the location is just perfect, it felt very safe even at night. It is kind of hostel where you can easily make connections with people but it still remains calm and you can sleep well at any time.

This is the best hostel I've been in. The vibe is amazing, they really care for the guests, and plan activities so everyone shares time together. The breakfast is amazing. The location is very good, in the heart of Santa Teresa with restaurants and many things to to around, but also easily reaching the center, beaches and other parts of the city with Uber. The rooms are ok, and I saw cleaning staff every day. If I come back to Rio, I will definitely stay here again (and I have already recommended it to my friends and family)

It’s private, and though there is noise around the area, not a single peep came into the room. There was a leak in our room and they immediately swapped us out with ease honestly I haven’t stayed in a nice accommodation and I have stayed in some pretty fancy places for work.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
