More Ipanema

Nicole was absolutely amazing. Her customer service truly made my stay warm, attentive, and always willing to help. I stayed in a private junior room, and I’ll be honest: it was the tiniest room I’ve ever seen. Definitely not enough space for two people, so if you want comfort or space, this isn’t the spot for that. Also, the elevator only goes up to the 4th floor, and my room was on the 6th thankfully Nicole helped me carry my bags upstairs, which I appreciated more than they know. What really stands out here are the activities. They were amazing super social, well organized, and they keep you engaged the whole time. You literally don’t get time to be bored. If you enjoy meeting people, this place is perfect. My breakfast was included, and it was okay nothing special but good enough to start the day. Despite the tiny room, the hostel vibe, the location, and especially the staff + activities made my stay great value for the price. You’re paying for the area and the experience, not a luxury room.

Great staff. Great manager! Camilla is 10 out of 10 and good at foot volleyball. A lot of experiences planned for guest from parties, sports, drinks and tattoos etc lol. Good spot

Room smelled like mildew and mold was growing on the curtains and bathroom. I had my sun glasses stolen from a private room and they conveniently waited until my last day to review security camera footage only to say the cameras were broken. The staff were really nice but management was awful and the condition of the rooms is absolutely NOT worth staying at. I have stayed at several hostels and this one has been the worst by far.

I didn't like was having to wait until to check in time & having to self check in & make the bed, which i don't mind doing but this is one of the more pricier hostels & i had gotten there at 7am, I thought, we'll at the very least they're cleaning the room/bathroom but they hadn't, it was kinda gross. Since they don't make the bed or were cleaning the room, you would think they would let me know as soon the bed was available or at the very least, check in time! but that wasn't the case. But besides that, it's a great social hostel with daily activities & great atmosphere.

Excellent location, very clean, very affordable, staff spoke good English, good breakfast and they offered good activities. I highly recommend to anyone.

Right near the beach , good social nights , modern facilities , Duda on the front desk was very nice

Not a 5 star fancy hotel but a simple hostel like facilities- nothing fancy but it does provide a basic roof over your head in a friendly safe environment Very friendly and helpful staff.

Very nice

Great Staff and Location

This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! There are free activities and drinks on everyday and it makes it very easy to make friends ❤️ it also feels very safe - this was important to me as a female solo traveller. The staff at the hotel were absolutely amazing!! Always happy to help and made sure that all the group outings were super fun. One staff in particular - Maya, she was so helpful and was so good at hosting the events, it was always a fun time! Would highly recommend to other solo travellers who are looking for a fun and friendly hostel. It’s also right near t ipanema beach. I will definitely come back here! 🩷

Great hostel with a lot of fun activities! Staff is very supportive, speaks English and helps you socialize with others. Special shoutout to Maya who always helped us so much!

hard to imagine a worse experience

Wonderful, Maria was really helpfull and friendly , close to ipanema beach.

Staff was great and a lot of fun

Para el precio, esperaba mucho mas.

The value for the money is not good. Photos make it look better than it is. Cleaning staff is very rude and bed space is small, if you are tall you will not feet.

Ok. It was a pretty loud hostel. Im glad i brought my white noise machine! Windows are open, so be prepared for LOTS of mosquitos.

Muy cerca de la playa, excelente servicio , el ambiente es muy bueno, ofrecen caipirinha gratis 30 minutos cada dia

Fun hostel to stay at while still being in a private room. Bed was extremely comfortable. Water in the shower was lukewarm at best most times. My only real complaint is that my room was on the 6th floor and the elevator only went up to floor 4 so I had to lug a 50lb bag up 2 flights of extremely narrow stairs with no assistance.

Let's start with the pros. The location of this property is great -- very close to the beach in a safe neighborhood surrounded by great bars and restaurants. The hostel was clean, with a great happy hour, and the breakfast was very good (though located down the street at their sister hostel). That being said, the photos of the rooms are misleading -- being a lot smaller than pictured. It should also be noted that the staff is not very experienced and didn't really know the area, having many recommendations for where to go, eat, etc. English is also not widely spoken amongst the staff which made it challenging to communicate at times. We encountered one very helpful staff member (thank you, Barbara!) but otherwise, we didn't find the staff very helpful. We even missed out on a tour we wanted to participate in because the staff took too long to provide our names to the operator and we lost our spot. There is also no good "hang out place" within the hostel and what is there, is not very warm and inviting. So, you'll be limited to hanging out inside your room or outside of the hostel for the most part. If you're simply looking for a bed to sleep in, in a good area of the city, it's a great option. If you're looking for a good standard hostel experience, I'd stay elsewhere.
