Castelo dos Tucanos Host features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Rio de Janeiro. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can make use of a bar.

Guests at the hostel can enjoy a buffet breakfast. We stayed at Castelo dos Tucanos for 24 nights, and it was absolutely incredible. The location in Santa Teresa is just spectacular – peaceful, charming, and full of character, yet still close enough to explore everything Rio has to offer. The included breakfast was delicious every single morning, with fresh and tasty options that made it a perfect start to the day. The atmosphere at the hostel is warm and welcoming, and you can really feel the love and care the hosts put into the place. Staying here felt more like being at a friend’s beautiful home than at a regular hostel. The views, the surroundings, and the overall vibe made our time here unforgettable. We would come back in a heartbeat!
