Before coming to Rio, I was a bit worried about safety, but this hostel completely put my mind at ease. It has its own secure entrance, which made me feel very safe. The metro station is just a few minutes’ walk, making transportation super convenient. There are several supermarkets nearby, which is very handy, and the beach is only about a 20-minute walk away—perfect for a stroll or relaxing. I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely choose this hostel again next time I visit Rio!

Great hostel, with cool tours to join. We did the hike to Dois Irmaos. We rode a moto through a favela and at the top went for a quite moderate difficulty of a hike. Take plenty of water as the views at the top are worth it! Matheus was great 👍🏽 make sure to get breakfast as well at the hostel, it was very tasty! We could leave the luggage after check-out and take a shower before our flight which was great. Highly recommend the hostel!

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.
