The 10 best Hostels hotel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

May 12, 2023 Sachiko Swiger

Commonly called “blessed by God” by locals, Rio de Janeiro is nestled between world famous beaches and beautiful mountains, and presided over by the statue of Christ the Redeemer. Its nickname of “Marvellous City” is easy to understand after seeing all this buzzing city has to offer. There are attractions that cater to any style - everything from visiting historical landmarks and important cultural centres to relaxing on the beach to enjoying the great nightlife scene. Neighbourhoods like Ipanema, Urca, Botafogo, Santa Teresa and Rio’s downtown will always have a way to surprise you. As a special treat, go to Arpoador to watch the sun set and take part in the local custom applauding the sun, thanking it for another stunning day in Rio de Janeiro.

El Misti Ipanema

Excellent staff, great vibes and nice people

Reviewed By Chappie1998

The vibe of the hostel is very good, from the service to the interaction with other guests, everyone is willing to make friends, help, give tips on tours, etc.. The structure of the place is great, everything is very clean, on the first floor there is a small bar and tables to work (I have nothing to complain about the wifi) and on the roof there is the kitchen and a very nice area where the parties that the hostel organizes are held. I stayed in a private room, where everything was in order, comfortable bed, air conditioning, safe, cable TV, clean bathroom, shower working perfectly. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that the hostel was not following the precautions regarding the prevention of COVID-19, many people circulated without masks, kept close contact with other people, the hostel itself was promoting events inside and there was no alcohol gel in several dispensers spread around the hostel, factors that end up putting everyone's health at risk. Despite all this, I will stay more often (when the pandemic situation improves)! :)

As first time in Che lagarto copacabana hostel and as first experience there .. I would like to say that I’ve enjoyed my stay there .. good vibes and wonderful atmosphere and you can have tons of friends as you are a solo traveler .. for me I haven’t had any problem at all during my stay in that hostel as I stayed for 10 days which is enough to see any problems.. hostel is close to copacabana beach about 3 blocks .. value for money as I see the hostel place to sleep only not to spend your life inside your room while you are in vacation

Excellent staff, excellent location

Reviewed By TeippingPrincessLala

The staff is really and helpful, the location is awesome (I have been to Rio many times, this part of Ipanema is not just close to beach, shops and cafes, but probably the safest place also). I loved room 201, if you're a couple book it! Super big, and the best pillows, like the kind you get in a 5 star hotel). The guy with the dreadlocks on reception is super kind. Buy him a coffee if you stay! He likes a mocha :)

Pretty much of a dump

Reviewed By Q4811YMbens

We were looking for a place one night when we arrived late on New Years Eve before moving to another hotel. This was a good price for that night (though outrageously expensive because of the night), and there was not much available. The staff was really friendly but our room was A TOTAL DUMP. Honestly i am not picky and don’t expect much, but the sheet didn’t even fit the mattress. It was pretty depressing and gross. Given the outrageous amount they charged for that night hey could buy a dozen new sets of sheets that actually fit the bed. Honestly i would have given this place a significantly better rating if not for this fact.
