Best Hostel in Rio!

I stayed at Ipanema Beach Hostel at first 6 days and it was the best place I’ve stayed so far!! I decided to come back earlier at the end of my trip because it was a nice place to meet people and do party! The staff is friendly and always present to help in case of any concerns. It’s a great location in Rio and it’s really easy to meet others solo travelers. There is also a lot of activities organized by the hotel.

Four Nights Ipanema

I stayed there for four nights. The social atmosphere is excellent, but for one that actually wants to sleep at night it's not the best option. Party noises continue probably until 3am, even with earplugs I still couldn't sleep. Also the rooms are so cramped. If it weren't for the friendly staff and free drinks from 8-9pm I would not have been happy at all with any aspect of my stay.

Nice location, staff and reasonable price :)

I liked the location and the hostel! Sadly the bathroom had an issue.. and when I was charged extra cause my sis joined me in the private room that I wasnt really informed about and was told upon check out but i didnt really care much as I was rushing to head out and catch a flight. Later on I realized that was another R$80++ more and I didnt get an extra mattress for it or a bigger room. But anyway, the staff in total are nice. Food breakfast was alright for us, simple but really good enough to get going and I liked it personally. :) you get to toast your bread, have a cup of hot chocolate, cereals, yummy fruits, etc. i loved the location it's very close to the beach. Safe! Walk around for shopping. We had to take our stuff 3 large suitcases up but we survived. Theyre working on the elevator.. it's clean nice and new. They need to have the bathroom/toilet fixed. I was gonna stay for a night and extended for another night and had to endure the smell and flush problems the entire stay.. i informed them though. I wasnt around the whole stay so it was alright for me. I dont mind staying again I just hope I was properly informed prior about the addtl charges I only realized when I was on the flight out. Balcony is good too for the private room! :)

O quarto estava bem sujo quando eu cheguei, só tinha mais uma hóspede além de mim no quarto. O banheiro ser separado da parte do box acho que foi a pior parte, nunca vi isso em nenhum outro lugar que me hospedei, a cama era confortável e tinha cortina e iluminação o que é um ponto positivo, mas o hostel não oferece coberta grátis, somente um lençol. O lugar em si parece que está em reforma pois tem muitas coisas fora do lugar na recepção, e o locker é dentro do sofá na recepção onde todos tem acesso, o que não achei muito seguro. Em relação as atividades que o hostel disponibiliza, não achei que gere grande interação entre os hóspedes, e os vídeos que eles colocam nas redes sociais não é do dia, o que passa uma impressão errada sobre a socialização que eles vendem no Instagram.

Hostel incrivelmente pequeno e apertado, quartos apertados, vaso sanitário e chuveiro separados, limpeza simples, pouca possibilidade de interação... Quem vai querer ficar num lugar apertado?! Bom quem vai em grupo, pois quem vai sozinho não indico. Café da manhã por 30 reais... Não quis pagar... Achei simples, mas por aquela região ser Leblon / Ipanema pode acabar compensando por ter frutas. Muito bom o negócio de caipirinha gratis. No geral, jamais voltaria.

Staff and service were very good and helpful! Free Caipi is available from 20.00-20.30, either in the Ipanema Beach Hostel or in the partner hotel directly opposite. Room condition and cleanliness in the rooms was ok but could be improved, but this certainly depends on the number of people in the 8-bed room. The shower/toilet situation is a pity as it is located directly in the room and is very small. The toilet in the lobby is also very small and mostly dirty. The beach location is amazing. With the Uber you are in 5-10 minutes at the bars / restaurant and on foot you are in 5 minutes at the supermarket.
