Rio de Janeiro Hostellit

Plussat: Very good hostel! Clean. Big rooms and common spaces. Rich breakfast. Nice people. It has everything what you need.

Plussat: The best location to see the new year fireworks at rooftop. 5 -10 minutes walk to Leme beach, same line as Copacabana beach. A little bit far away from metro station, but for me no problem because I don't use much metro system. If you like beach, this is very economy place to stay.

Plussat: The breakfast was on point and plenty. Most of the staff were volunteers but they seem to know what they were doing and they were happy to help and gave you advices. You can cook in the kitchen and there was a nice bar on the rooftop. The bed was comfy and private with a curtain, two powet sockets and a small lamp. They also offer city and hiking tours. I didn't join them because of the price but people who did was happy with what they got. Everyone speaks English.

Plussat: It was a pretty good place! I loved how friendly its staff was. It’s a safe and pacified favela so you will feel safer here than in the city. Good breakfast. Good location easy to get anywhere even sometimes Uber drivers disagree about the ride from/to the hostel because of the location.

Plussat: Very social atmosphere! You feel like you are part of a big family. Everything was very modern, breakfast was great and the beach is in walking distance. They have a beautiful rooftop terrace and very comfortable beds. There is also a tour guide that offers daily activities. We did the two brothers hike which was just amazing and a lot of fun. Wonderful sunset + view over the city. I would always come back!

Plussat: They were like a family to me already!! I love the staff they’re all treat you like a family!

Plussat: Fantastic hostel all round, great breakfast, friendly staff, great facilities and great views. Be warned, it is in a favela like area, but that's part of the experience

Plussat: The view is the first thing you notice when you enter the hostel, a very open lobby with comfortable sofa, which has a full glass window towarda the city and ocean. I stayed in a 8 bed dorm, the matress is comfy and placed in a chamber which has a curtain gives you a great sense of privacy if you need it. It also has a locker to put away your stuff away, no need for a pad lock. The hostel has great hiking tours almost every day. Not a party hostel, but the vibe is really good. The Breakfast is also great, only thing I was missing is scrambled eggs

Plussat: Best hostel ive been in through my 5 months of travelling . Daiana makes the best breakfast ive ever had.

Plussat: Special thanks to the el misti crew, to each one. I felt very welcome. And special thanks to Victor! who organized/brang every night a group together for having fun party-nights.

Plussat: Breakfast by mama Daiana always amazing - made with love

Plussat: Diego the host was excellent and very professional

Plussat: Good location. It's very much a typical backpacker hostel if you like that sort of thing.

Plussat: The location is perfect, few minutes from the beach. The athmosphere of the hostel is super cool! The staff and the manager are all super friendly, making this hostel the perfect hostel and a great family! A big thank you to Luisa and Victor that have been super awesome in giving tips on where to go, what to visit, places to go out at nights with discount and always super helpful and súper buena onda :) I will definitely recommend the hostel and will stay here again!

Plussat: The location is great! It was also nice to be given fresh sheets. Staff were really friendly too!

Plussat: Everyone is so nice there, they make the atmosphere soooooo great! And the location is just right! Definitely recommend here!

Plussat: The atmosphere was amazing at the hostel, people from all over the world in the same vibe, being happy, nice and helpful to each other! Special thanks to Pedro and Andrey* (*best Russian caipirinhas in town)! As well as all the staff team was so cool!

Plussat: Good location, 10 min straight walk from Copacabana beach , shops , supermarket all at end of the road . Strong WiFi through both rooms I stayed in. Very helpful staff sat and helped me with research for my next destination. And booked transfers for me. Bathrooms big enough to shower and get changed in always had hot water . Big lockers.air con&fan. Felt safe as a female solo traveller

Plussat: The staff, especially Frederick were extremely helpful

Plussat: LOcation great for Night Life.

Plussat: - Great location in Lapa - Socket and lamp at each bed - Lockers in dorm for everyone

Plussat: The staff at Lapa Central were so helpful and friendly. Fred helped me out so much with translations from English to Portuguese when I had my phone stolen on the streets, he helped as much as he could. We had such a good stay in Lapa Central, everyone was so nice - the perfect place for a traveller solo or with friends. The hostel attracts many beautiful people from around the world.

Plussat: Nothing

Plussat: The location of the hostel and the super friendliness of the staff.

Plussat: Instantly loved the vibes once I stepped into the hostel. Rooms were spacious and lockers are huge that i can almost fit myself into it. Beds are comfortable with your own lights and power right by it. Not noist despite Super close to Lapa if you loves parties and super safer cos just opposite the police station. AC worked amazingly from 9pm-9am. A shame there isn't a kitchen but there's microwave and filtered water and a lovely bar. Fred was amazing hostel manager, made sure that I got whatever I need, and even helped me with my bags upon check out to get a uber. I will stayed here again for sure!

Plussat: The staff was amazing, we really enjoyed their service and provided excellent tips for traveling. Location is in the center of Lapa and all the bars, so if you come for the nightlife you are in for a treat.

Plussat: Location is great - if you're going to Rio, you definitely want to spend a few nights in Lapa to enjoy the live music and big clubs, as well as the historic attractions in close proximity. Staff was friendly. Wifi throughout the whole building (very rare in Rio, even in expensive accommodations).

Plussat: Location and staff

Plussat: A very nice hostel in a great location. A few minutes walk from the beach and also the subway station. The staff are helpful and know a lot about Rio. The Pool is really fresh and perfect for a hot day. The breakfast is soooo good. You get a lot and it's super tasty. The showers are very big and easily changeable hot water.

Plussat: The location is great! The staff were helpful and it was reasonably priced.

Plussat: Pool, room, terrace, location, bar

Plussat: Good party Hostel, with a nice pool, near to the beach. Good breakfast. Bar with caipis and Currasco.

Plussat: Staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are not huge but have everything needed and comfortable beds. Breakfast is simple but good and abundant. Location is great too with the subway just half a block away. Shower worked great too.

Plussat: The members of the staff did an excellent job and were very helpful in every way, especially Luis Gustavo Beira. The breakfast was fantastic! The location is perfect which is near public transportation, all kind of stores and businesses, and Botafogo beach. In addition, the cleanliness is perfect and the facility offers everything necessary.

Plussat: Excellent located – I could take a good walk from there to Sugarloaf and Copacabana in almost 30 or 40 min. And there’re subway and bus very, very close to the Hostel. Basically you can go to wherever you want. The breakfast is delicious and the staff are very helpful. Oh, and there’s hot water! A good combination of facilities if you don’t want spend a bunch of money in a well located place.

Plussat: Staff was friendly and it was in a great location.

Plussat: Cheap hotel in a good location.

Plussat: breakfast was a nice incentive and easy access to subway station

Plussat: Location is great. There is a good exhange point with a decent rate on the next street (Rua Voluntarios da Patria) and a good supermarket (but in the supermarket, they don't accept foreign-issued credit cards, so that's where the nearby "cambio" really helps you out ;) Relatively good wi-fi. Fridge and air conditioner in the room.

Plussat: Location & staff :)

Plussat: Everything was ok. I felt very confortable even though I stayed in an 8 people dorm. It had a private bathroom, which was very handy. The room was kept tidy at all times by the cleaning ladies. I felt very secure, the neighborhood is very peaceful yet close to all the major touristic attractions. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Plussat: It's cheap, it has room only for women with bathroom inside, the location is excellent, secure, the bedsheet are clean, the view is amazing, the beds are good and comfy.

Plussat: I really liked the way they make other guests talk to each other, interact with each other. They organize free tours, like hikes or local bars, and some of the staff go along. The happy hour is really cool as well: tons of beers and caipirinhas. Good TV room also. Wifi is way better than what you typically get in Brazil.

Plussat: Locked gate into hostel and rooms all locked, given one key for both and huge individual lockers under bunks Beds in dorm comfortable Locked storage we could use for free before check in Breakfast very basic but is free and enough to get you going in the morning Good Caprihnas at the bar View of christ the redeemer from the terrace Easy place to meet other travellers What's app group for the hostel is good for picking up tips and asking questions, other travellers put in when they are going places Private what's app for asking individual questions to hostel also Email with useful info when receive booking

Plussat: Good vibes Great caipis at the bar

Plussat: Clean place. Good breakfast. Good location.

Plussat: Great location. Near facilities, restaurant. Rooms are OK.

Plussat: So I booked the hostel for 4 days and it was literally the worst hostels I have ever been in my life. The staff is just sooo rude and disrespectful, they have no desire in attending to the client. The room is dirty, the bathroom and the rest of the hostel is just ridiculously disgusting, my mom and friend even saw a rate during the day wondering around after that they have asked about it to the staff and they told them it was something normal and constant in the hostel. The kitchen is just dirty and the fridge Jesus Christ, there’s a paper stuck in the fridge saying they will close the kitchen after 7:30 so that a cleaner could clean the place, however in the following day the kitchen is even dirtier than before. The AC apparently as a rule it will be turned on during the night from 8pm until 8am, however it’s needed more 5 requests to the staff/reception, so that could be turned on. When it’s 8:00 am not even 1 minute later the air is off already. Which clearly shows that the only interest in that hostel is the money. The staff is the thing that most impressed me, they are just so rude, I don’t even know if that’s legal as they have no idea about customer service, which makes me worried In how someone could hire people to work for their company without any idea whatsoever. I’m more than sure I’m not satisfied at all with the service I received from this hostel, and also even more sure that I will not be spending or staying with that hostel anymore! I’m actually regretting paying money for this industry.

Plussat: Had a nice little court yard to hangout in, 10mins from Copacabana beach. Shops , supermarkets everything at end of road . Staff are helpful with any questions you have
