Breakfast 🧡! It is a good place to socialize and meet other people to explore the city together. A lot of common spaces to chill, or work (including a designated co-working space with two small rooms for video calls). Rooftop with a nice view, and a small but really well equipped 'gym' corner. A common kitchen that can be used to prepare your own food. A lot of useful information about places to visit and things to do in Rio. The reception is really helpful and they even organise some trips and transfers for you! And the beds that provide a lot of privacy with the curtains!

It is a unique building, old, big and very artistic- how it looks is reason enough to stay here! Big kitchen with a lot of space to cook. The castle also has many spaces for relaxing or socializing, like the pool, the living room and the garden. There is something for everyone here, either if you like to socialize a lot, chill in your own private space or if you are there to work while you travel. Great staff and great volunteers who really makes you feel at home. For me, this is one of the most unique and special hostels you can visit, do not sleep on this one and book your stay❤️

One of the best hostel I’ve ever stayed! The place is incredible and clean, the staff is so kind and makes you feel like home, and even better than that. The swimming pool and the private mountain with the amazing view on Rio are the cherries on the top. I highly recommend it!

Villa 25 is a great hostel. The room I stayed in was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The location is excellent – Largo do Machado metro station is just about a 3-minute walk, which makes it very easy to get anywhere in Rio. Breakfast was also very good, with a nice variety. Overall, it felt safe, relaxed, and well organized throughout my stay.

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.
