The staff was friendly and helpful, all the common areas were super clean, organized and comfy. Bathroom had 3 showers and 3 toilet, they were clean and they were never too busy. The neighbourhood is really good, had a couple of options for eating, Botafogo beach which has a nice view or Vermelha beach if you want to go for a dip in the water; all walkable distances.

Honestly one of the nicest hostels I have ever been definitely recommend! Its would be even better if they organised some free events at the hostel not just tours. But definitely stay at this hostel for some nights in Rio, maybe not super long, the walk up and down to the hostel gets a bit tiring.

One of the best hostel I’ve ever stayed! The place is incredible and clean, the staff is so kind and makes you feel like home, and even better than that. The swimming pool and the private mountain with the amazing view on Rio are the cherries on the top. I highly recommend it!

A unique concept, a yoga hostel in the centre of one of the biggest and busiest metropolitan cities in the world, Rio de Janeiro... A true oasis! As a backpacker I found my inner peace at this hostel, having breakfast every morning while being greeted by a hummingbird. Then using the yoga and meditation rooms, which allowed to start my day zen.

All hostels in Niterói

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.
