Overall Ratings & Reviews More Ipanema

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.

There is no real management behind this place. Their pictures are renderings. Once you arrive you will find a construction site. They will walk in your room as many times as needed without your knowledge, if they perform construction work they will leave the dirt behind and that's how you will realize. They sap my entire bed on me. AC units are off early in the morning until late at night regardless of what price or room you paid for. Front desk staff is really friendly but they are as lost as you as far as finding missing keys, AC, water heater, etc. Location is not as great either.It is very noisy and there is no insulation between walls so you will hear everything inside and outside 24/7. Some of my stuff went missing, there was no room service ever even though they did not stop doing construction inside my room. You could pay me to stay there again and I will kindly reject it. Just get another place where there is a system of check and balances. This property is a free for all. The Argentinian lady managing this is a liar and a scammer.

The hostel appear on the website as new. It is not. They had renovation works going on at the peak of time (carnival), all day long. I paid for breakfast and was told it was not included, that I had to pay 20 Reais to then be told a few days later that breakfast was free during carnival (scam! I paid for it and was not reimbursed). The rooms are not comfortable. The doors are all wanky. If you want a towel or a blanket or a lock you have to pay. You have to make your bed at the start and remove your bedsheets at the end. I paid 100+ dollars per night for a bed in a 6-bed dorm and this level of service… shocking.

Incrível, o melhor hostel que já me hospedei. Tem um bar incrível, alto astral, muito bom mesmo! Atendimento impecável, umas fofas! Com certeza voltarei.

Melhor local que ja me hospedei na vida! Victoria e Duda da recepção são perfeitas, o Yuri maravilhoso. Todoa muito receptivos. Melhor experiência da minha vida. Voltarei com toda certeza!

Localização é incrível, próximo a estação de metrô é da praia, além de ser muito bom pra quem quer conhecer pessoas e estar viajando sozinho ou com amigos

Muito bom, agitado e com boa localização pra quem quer curtir praia e os passeios do rj

Experiência incrível, nunca antes havia ficado em um hostel, minha primeira experiência, porém, foi surreal a experiência no hostel. Atendimento excelente, sempre dispostos a auxiliar em qualquer necessidade e atividades diárias incríveis para serem realizadas em grupo e conhecer tudo o que a cidade tem para oferecer.

O more é maravilhosos, um verdadeiro intercâmbio! Voltarei sempre.
