Rio de Janeiro Hostellit

Plussat: Very charming and comfortable in an interesting location just a 10 minute walk down to the beach

Plussat: I stayed in this hostel a few days and I really liked it. It is pretty close to the centre, the rooms are clean and the breakfast is nice. Yet, the best is the atmoshpere of this pleace and the people who work/stay there. They were all very helpful and sociable. Greetings from Poland guys! Thank you for everything :)

Plussat: Amazing place to stay. The location offers the perfect combination of a pacified favela feel and Leme and Copacabana beach at your fingertips. The hostel organises day tours and evening go-out opportunities every day.

Plussat: The Staff is AWESOME! They do their very best to make you feel comfortable and welcome. If you are traveling alone is a great opportunity to meet new people.

Miinukset: It could be a bit cleaner.

Plussat: Fantastic

Miinukset: Friendly staff, very clean

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff! Good breakfast and very clean hostel

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

Miinukset: Make sure you get an uber or taxi straight to the hostel as the area can feel unsafe. Once inside it is very safe

Plussat: The location is perfect - minutes from the beautiful Ipanema beach (at which the hostel has an association with a nearby barraca), and minutes from the metro stop, making it easy to access the rest of Rio. There are plenty of options for trips and excursions, and for nightlife too. The staff at the hostel are truly amazing - friendly, helpful, fun, informative and knowledgeable - they really made my stay special and Rio wouldn't have been the same without them. And the caipirinhas... I can't wait to go back.

Miinukset: It's a hostel, so don't expect 5 star hotel luxury - it's minimally furnished. But the rooms were more than enough for what I wanted - clean, good a/c, a place to sleep and shower. There's a TV too if you want to use it, but there's too much to do for that!

Plussat: The location is perfect.

Miinukset: It's quite noisy and no lift.

Plussat: Great location and bathroom in the room

Miinukset: Not many events to help solo travellers meet other people compared to other hostels I have stayed in. The atmosphere was more if you wanted a quiten hostel. Blankets would also have been nice because I was cold in the morning.

Plussat: Lovely and friendly place, best hostel I’ve ever stayed

Plussat: Good service and location. Nice parties!

Plussat: Compared to the Misti in Copacabana, this is a palace. It is newer. The room was for 8 people and had private bathroom. It was clean. The air conditioner is turned on during the night only, so during the day the room is really hot. There is no fan to turn on and the windows do not open widely. The staff was ok. Not as friendly and lively as in the other Misti. The hostels have the same nightly activities. The tours are more expensive in this Misti. The location is fantastic, only one block away from the beach and another block away from a metro station. The only thing is that there are no supermarkets close by, so you have to buy expensive water bottles (4 reales compared to 1.69 in the supermarket). I would stay again in this one.

Plussat: Great location, good fascilities, really friendly staff - though professionalism needs to improve.

Miinukset: Priority during our check in was given to bar customers cutting the queue. After a 14hr trip and heavy luggage, that was rather unprofessional. Linings were pretty stained and wasted.

Plussat: The location is very nice and near to restaurants, supermarkets and copacabana beach.

Miinukset: The room we got, was very small. It was very difficult to move around the room as there was hardly any space.

Plussat: Stuff were friendly The price is good

Miinukset: The walls were full with dead bugs The toilets were pretty small The shower has only warm but not hot water

Plussat: -

Miinukset: The staff working at reception was really rude. This completely destroyed the experience.

Plussat: Couple of issues the first night with the lights not working. They managed to sort it out the second day. The keycard system to rooms was also not working. Overall property and staff were decent. I would stay here again.

Miinukset: No swimming pool.

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Location is pretty good.

Miinukset: The value for money part could be improved, and breakfast was just OK.

Plussat: The staff here were lovely. Particularly Gabriela and Bernard, who were always so kind and helpful! The room was great, and I was excited for the breakfast every morning! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Plussat: The hotel is centrally located (i.e. it is near a subway station - Siqueira Campos - and it is a short walk from the beach) and is on a quiet street, which is unusual in busy Copacabana. The decoration is funky, especially the door signs. I loved the orange soap given as part of the toiletries!

Miinukset: I strongly disliked the bed. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable for me: it was too soft, and it wouldn't offer enough support. I also disliked the fact that someone knocked on my door before the official check-out time, but this could have been a mistake on the part of housekeepers.

Plussat: convenient location and price

Miinukset: rooms are tiny and could be a lot cleaner. Also when I left my room at 9am the breakfast buffet was left open and getting stale with lots of flies around. I actually threw up after I ate it.

Plussat: Friendly staff, easy to find, Secure, English language possibilities.. If u are up to rio for 2 or 3 night that is the right choice.

Miinukset: Not enough computers.

Plussat: Close to the train station, bathroom in the bedroom.

Plussat: Staff were friendly, rooms comfortable, good size lockers & en-suite but there’s extra toilets/showers around the hostel. Can book tours & they have a smal bar in the evening. Great location!! Would stay again.

Miinukset: The breakfast staff are really loud early in the morning, come with earplugs.

Plussat: Staff were lovely and they have a charity box for clothes for Venezuela.

Miinukset: Bathroom wasn’t clean and smelled of Mould badly. Greedy owners increasing prices by x3 due to a local event - all the accommodation in Rio did this however it’s taking advantage of travelers when their own overheads do not increase.

Plussat: It was the comfiest bunk bed I ever slept on for a good night sleep sinking into a nice soft mattress. They got a really good tour you can quickly and easily book at the reception. There is a good atmosphere in the evening and it creates a good environment for socializing.

Miinukset: Having to leave

Plussat: Ihana aamiainen, hyvä sijainti, siisti hostelli.

Miinukset: Henkilökunta oli aika ynseä. Nukkuminen oli vaikeaa metelin takia.

Plussat: Location ,Good WiFi , cheap drinks

Miinukset: really “ poor people persons / friendly “ vibe from the team members. Legit they were so not ready to be happy , it’s a hostel working with travelers mostly from overseas or first timers waiting for a little nice welcome feeling ... but yeah just keep waiting guys ( I wasn’t expecting much according to previous comments tbh) ... being nice and friendly is free isn’t ? . Guys u are working with travelers , let them have what they want ! Being rude , unfriendly , useless it’s so not 2019 ... Also there was no hot water in my room , phoned the night shift receptionist and he said “ MEH” and good bye phone conversation .... for real . Asked for some solution during the next morning and there it was , a girl said “ just wait 2-3 minutes and u would have hot water “ waited for a week time . I reckon even at the Antartica they have way more hot water. Pathetic. Plus they have a nearly dead / dating cat all over the place ... so if u are not a cat person , be aware of this , he’s hideous.

Plussat: Excellent location to the Lapa area and within walking distance of downtown central Rio. Reception staff were helpful. Good breakfast. Plenty hot water for showers all day and night.

Miinukset: We opted for the cheapest room, which apparently all sit facing the main road. It is VERY noisey day and night, expect to be woken from 4 am. Better to pay a bit more and be situated elsewhere.

Plussat: Good value hotel

Miinukset: You get what you pay for, dont expect a four star hotel. Location is not bad but not optimal.

Plussat: Personal were very helpful and kind and the breakfast was good.

Miinukset: Our room was to the very frequently street. Big noice during the night ...

Plussat: the first time i stayed here i was given a room in the main hotel, which was acceptable.

Miinukset: This time i was given a room out towards the street, which was not good, and did not even have a bathroom ensuite, although it stated that when i booked it. Unacceptable.

Plussat: Daniel, the receptionist guy from Argentina, was very kind by helping us to order an Uber to Airport with his own account. He save us the hustle to find out another transportation on a very early Sunday morning. Thanks! I would like to thanks also the Brazilian receptionist guy, the one with long braids and glasses (I don’t know his name), who was very helpful and kind at every moment. These 2 persons were the highlights of our stay.

Plussat: Breakfast is good but aways same. Horrible sausages w tomato sauce

Miinukset: Noisy room

Miinukset: Dirty walls, bugs and roaches in room, old, broken furniture, old blankets and pillows, barely functioning fan, WiFi works less than 20% of the time. Hotel needs lots of care to be a basic hostel/hotel: currently more of a last resource with a high price (even during Canraval).

Plussat: Breakfast good but always same. Sausages w tomato sauce horrible. Good shower hot.

Miinukset: The room i was given was very noisy from the street early morning cannot sleep. Also stinks from old . Anyway for the price is ok if you stay short.

Plussat: Breakfast is perfect

Plussat: Delicious breakfast

Miinukset: The bed is not comfortable

Plussat: Free breakfast was decent, set me up for the day

Miinukset: Unfriendly staff were very suspicious about my friend helping me carry my stuff to my room. No social facilities = not a hostel really. Also truly terrifying area, police would pull up to advise me not to be there. Room extremely basic, aircon didn't work but there was at least a fridge and Wifi

Miinukset: Staff did not speak English

Plussat: Breakfast, big bathroom and early checkin

Miinukset: It was noisy in, orridors by night and early in the morning

Plussat: Breakfast was good, the shared bathrooms were relatively clean, close to the bus station - good value for money.

Miinukset: A bit noisy and the room smelled like cigarette smoke

Plussat: Very good place for non-beach visits. Easy to find after corner of park, some buses are just near, pedestrian walk in few minutes to metro, tram and buses at Central station, 15 minutes to Sambadrome, 20 minutes to center. Fantastically great hearty breakfast with two kinds of meat, omelette, fruites, bakery and so on! And extra convenient start time of breakfast at 6am that allows then full day walking around city (center by walking, Christo by bus 7 from Central bus station, Sugar Loaf, beaches, botanic garden, Tijuca forest by metro) and trips to neighbourhood (like Niteroi, Paqueta from pier, Petropolis, Teresopolis from Novo Rio bus terminal - both reaching by 15 minutes on tram). Fridge in room!

Plussat: Rally good for the price. The room and the bathroom were very clean. Great and big breakfast! I really appreciated the water fountains in the hostel with drinkable water. Good location, close to many buses.

Miinukset: The only thing is that our room had two single bed put together, i would have prefer a double bed.

Plussat: Bedroom size, Clean, Simple

Miinukset: No kitchen. No space other than bedroom
