I'll preface this review with my only complaint--I stayed in an 8-bed dorm and didn't have a comforter on my bed for the first few days. Also, towards the end of my stay, my stuff was mysteriously moved without my permission to another bed while I was out. I don't know if it was the staff's fault or just a... more

I am much more suited to a nice hotel than to a hostel, but this one warranted a good review. The rooms were basic, but clean and ours had a shower, although some larger rooms may not have as there was a seperate shower block. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the shared parts of the hostel were... more

Rio Hostel is a real gem. It is a friendly, welcoming place situated away from the tourist meccas of Ipanema and Copacabana - and all the better for it. Located just up the hill from Lapa - home to the best nightlife in Rio - the hostel is run by a group of friendly people and is constantly changing day... more

My boyfriend and I stayed for 10 days in this hostel and loved every bit of it. We were picked up from the airport by a taxi arranged by the hostel...great after a long flight. We stayed in the spacious double suite and had our own bathroom which had HOT water- a luxury in Brazilian hostels! It was clean and... more

I liked the accommodations okay, the staff and Sta. Theresa quite a bit. During our 1 week stay, various people, staying in different rooms (Orange, Blue, and the one off the sitting area), kept complaining about getting bitten. We stayed in the "Cave" or "Green Room" and our last night we woke up with bites. During the 24 hours we... more

I and my wife were looking for some where to stay in rio near the Lapa region and found what we thought was a reasonably nice looking hostel in the Lapa / Santa Teresa area of rio. It was advertised as being a great place to hang out with pool parties and a bar, great I thought. We called and... more

I bookended my last trip to Brazil with two weeks in Rio. The first half, I stayed on the beach in Ipanema, in typically dumpy and overcrowded hostels there. The second half, I spend in Santa Teresa at Rio Hostel, and wished I'd never bothered with the beach places. Awesome view over downtown, great proximity to Lapa nightlife, and really... more
