Casa da Gente

Breakfast was amazing. There was even fresh fruit salad, smoothies and even some guacamole for breakfast. And you can have breakfast in the little garden overlooking parts of rio. The host was super friendly. She gave us great tips on what to do and even told us how to get up sugar loaf mountain for cheaper. It's almost right next to the top of the famous stairs and not far away from the metro (also when you come back it's a steep walk uphill or many stairs). The rooms are simple, but clean.

A great lovely hostel in the Santa Teresa neighbourhood. Super friendly people and an exceptional breakfast. Simply amazing!

The atmosphere, the place, everything. Barbara gave me advices and directions that made my only free day in rio perfect, I found what I was looking for (music, Samba and more) thanks to her.

Everything! Casa da Gente is a real hidden gem in Rio! The location is close to Lapa and Santa Theresa so plenty of options for bars/restaurants. The hostess Barbara is a really lovely person and was always friendly and helpful throughout our stay - giving tips and advice and even invited us along to a Samba night she was performing at which turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit! The facilities at Casa da Gente are great with an awesome garden roof terrace and great kitchen/dining/lounge areas. The breakfast served each day was really good with fruit, granola, yoghurt, toast, eggs, pastries and fresh juice & good coffee served. We'd go back again and would thoroughly recommend to others looking for a homely, relaxed stay in Rio!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa da Gente and wouldn't change anything about it! Our room got very hot at times (due to the hot Rio sun!) but fans were provided in the room which helped.
