Hostels in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Daisy is the best! She should get a raise for her hospitality and service. I felt safe as a solo female traveler, the location is also near the beach, safe and worry free. Room is spacious and clean! 10/10

One of the best hostels in Rio, great central area Flamengo, close to the ocean, beach, lots of shops! Incredibly beautiful villa in Portuguese style, great breakfast! After this area moved to Copacabana area to another hostel and really regretted it!

The hostel is right by the sea, but the beach isn't really suitable for swimming due to the cleanliness of the water. To the historical city center it is under half an hour by foot. Here also the boat tours to better beaches depart. A small supermarket for the necessary conveniences is nearby. The pool of the hostel is well maintained and a nice cool off for hot days. The rooms have a good size and are at a good price. The only thing that confused us was that we did not get new soap after 5 days we got by on very small soap bars.

A lovely enclave in a quieter part of town, about 3.5km from the city center though walking distance to the beach and a few nice spots for a drink or meal. The hosts are delightful, friendly, and helpful, they will go out of their way to help you and to make the most of your visit. The garden is beautiful and the breakfast is fresh and filling. The accommodations are nice, not luxurious though clean and comfortable. I would happily stay again if I returned to Paraty.

A very charming bed and breakfast. From th outside it doesnt look like much, but inside is a small peaceful oasis. One block from the beach and a 10 minute walk to the historical center. The rooms were well taken care of and extremely clean. The breakfast was a perfect mix of everything. The staff was super friendly and always ready to help or give suggestions about the city, restaurants, and excursions. You´ll be glad you stayed.

We were very well served at the reception, the location of the hostel is excellent, well at the bridge exit that goes pro Centro Historico. The room has a good size, however, I found the very small bathroom ....o that is a little uncomfortable .... Breakfast was good, with the basic, but everything very tasty and very well presented .....Overall was a good stay.

The El Misti staff were incredibly fun, welcoming, spoke great English and provided lots of activities, free and paid. If you have no itinerary, know no-one and are unsure about coming here, please forget your troubles. You can eat, sleep well and do Rio on autopilot in a safe, walkable neighborhood accompanied by a pretty smile.

What a little gem! The location was excellent and I even had the girls dorm to myself for 2 days!! No kichen facilities, but a fridge and a kettle are available. Such friendly staff! Construction going on at present but they are very considerate. The pictures are the view from the balcony of the ladies dorm.
