In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Genuinely welcoming staff — Reviewers repeatedly highlight the warmth and helpfulness of the team, who organise tours, hikes and events and go out of their way to make guests feel at home.
- Unbeatable Ipanema location — Set one block from the beach, with Arpoador a 7-minute walk away. Guests mention close metro stations, parks, restaurants and shops – ideal for exploring on foot.
- Social atmosphere with organised events — From bar crawls to BBQs during carnival, the hostel makes it easy to meet other travellers. The garden, hammocks and TV lounge provide relaxed spaces to gather.
- Great value for the price — With rates from £17, guests feel they get solid bang for their buck – clean rooms, good WiFi and a breakfast that surprises for a hostel.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic rooms can be snug — Several reviewers note that dorm and quadruple rooms are small – comfortable for a short stay, but not spacious for those planning to spend a lot of time indoors.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 21:00, which may be tight for late arrivals. The hostel does offer a paid airport shuttle to help smooth the journey.
- No on-site parking or pets — There's no parking listed, and pets aren't allowed – travellers driving or bringing a furry companion will need to make other arrangements.
