What guests think

At El Misti Hostel Ipanema, reviewers consistently praise the beachside location and lively, social atmosphere, noting easy access to Ipanema’s hotspots and organized activities that make meeting people effortless for solo and group travelers alike.

Staff are widely described as friendly and helpful, and several guests highlight frequent cleaning that keeps rooms and bathrooms in good condition. Common drawbacks include small rooms with limited ventilation, low bunk clearance, and noise from the street or onsite bar, which can make restful sleep difficult. There are also occasional complaints about thin mattresses or pillows, weak shower water pressure, and value compared with cheaper hostels. Best suited to travelers seeking a fun, social base near the beach.

I had a great stay at El Misti Hostel Ipanema. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the beach, with plenty of places nearby to rent chairs, grab food, have drinks, or shop. The hostel itself has security at all times, which made me feel safe during my stay. It also has a very social atmosphere, so it’s super easy to meet new people. One thing that really stood out was how clean everything was. The cleaners come in twice a day to tidy the rooms and bathrooms, so the space is always fresh and well maintained. The reception staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it can get quite loud late at night since the street outside stays busy, and the windows are a bit thin—so definitely bring earplugs. It’s also a bit more expensive than some other hostels, but honestly, the comfort, cleanliness, and convenience make it worth the price. Overall, highly recommended!

We had a great stay at El Misti. Our room was small but very nice, clean, comfortable with bathroom ensuite. The hostel is centrally located with lots of dining, shopping options all around and 1 block from the beach. Perfect location ! The bar had vegetarian options that were delicious. It's a party Hostel. Very fun and stimulating. Not a zen one if you're searching for calm relax stay.

Pros: Amazing staff at this property! Very friendly and always up for some fun! Also they all speak some level of English which was nice. It’s more of a party hostel than a chill and work hostel. Also they have a bar and restaurant attached to the property which is convenient. The area is awesome. Ipanema seems to attract young and friendly folks from all over. Cons: the shower had zero water pressure, the restaurant isn’t always open and some of the other guests don’t respect specific quiet time which they have posted outside the rooms. All in all I would DEFINITELY come back for a party or two.

My stay at El Misti was superb!! I stayed in a private room during 7-13 November. It was my first time in Rio, and this was the perfect place to meet people!! They organise lots of events, and having easy access to the beach with a ticket for a free chair is an addes bonus! I can definitely recommend El Misti to others, and will likely stay here (or at least visit the amazing bar during happy hour!!) when I return, muito obrigado El Misti!! Tom

Ambiente jovial, alto astral e muito agitado. Quem gosta de fazer amizades, esse é o lugar. Fiquei no quarto misto e apesar de ter 9 pessoas que nunca se viram na vida, todos foram respeitosos e interagiam muito bem. Muitos gringos de todos os lugares do mundo. Limpeza impecável. Localização excelente à uma quadra da praia. Um ponto a melhorar seria beliches mais altos, tenho 1,55 de altura e não conseguia sentar na cama sem bater a cabeça na cama de cima.

Todo muy bien para ser un hostal, cambiaría el tema de la ducha por tiempo y el hecho de que las camas puedan ser un poco mejores, ya que son algo delgadas y descansar se vuelve todo un reto. Si tu objetivo es conocer gente y estar en una buena zona, es la opción indicada, si es descansar y pasar un rato tranquilo, no lo es.

Ficar aqui foi como encontrar um respiro no meio do mundo. O hostel tem uma energia leve, dessas que abraçam a gente sem esforço. A equipe é atenciosa, sempre pronta pra ajudar, e os espaços comuns parecem feitos pra juntar histórias de todos os cantos. Me senti acolhido, confortável e livre pra ser eu mesmo. Um lugar simples, sincero e cheio de boas vibrações. Voltaria fácil, de coração aberto.

I had a great stay at El Misti Hostel Ipanema. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the beach, with plenty of places nearby to rent chairs, grab food, have drinks, or shop. The hostel itself has security at all times, which made me feel safe during my stay. It also has a very social atmosphere, so it’s super easy to meet new people. One thing that really stood out was how clean everything was. The cleaners come in twice a day to tidy the rooms and bathrooms, so the space is always fresh and well maintained. The reception staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it can get quite loud late at night since the street outside stays busy, and the windows are a bit thin—so definitely bring earplugs. It’s also a bit more expensive than some other hostels, but honestly, the comfort, cleanliness, and convenience make it worth the price. Overall, highly recommended!

Ambiente jovial, alto astral e muito agitado. Quem gosta de fazer amizades, esse é o lugar. Fiquei no quarto misto e apesar de ter 9 pessoas que nunca se viram na vida, todos foram respeitosos e interagiam muito bem. Muitos gringos de todos os lugares do mundo. Limpeza impecável. Localização excelente à uma quadra da praia. Um ponto a melhorar seria beliches mais altos, tenho 1,55 de altura e não conseguia sentar na cama sem bater a cabeça na cama de cima.

We had a great stay at El Misti. Our room was small but very nice, clean, comfortable with bathroom ensuite. The hostel is centrally located with lots of dining, shopping options all around and 1 block from the beach. Perfect location ! The bar had vegetarian options that were delicious. It's a party Hostel. Very fun and stimulating. Not a zen one if you're searching for calm relax stay.

Pros: Amazing staff at this property! Very friendly and always up for some fun! Also they all speak some level of English which was nice. It’s more of a party hostel than a chill and work hostel. Also they have a bar and restaurant attached to the property which is convenient. The area is awesome. Ipanema seems to attract young and friendly folks from all over. Cons: the shower had zero water pressure, the restaurant isn’t always open and some of the other guests don’t respect specific quiet time which they have posted outside the rooms. All in all I would DEFINITELY come back for a party or two.

Todo muy bien para ser un hostal, cambiaría el tema de la ducha por tiempo y el hecho de que las camas puedan ser un poco mejores, ya que son algo delgadas y descansar se vuelve todo un reto. Si tu objetivo es conocer gente y estar en una buena zona, es la opción indicada, si es descansar y pasar un rato tranquilo, no lo es.

My stay at El Misti was superb!! I stayed in a private room during 7-13 November. It was my first time in Rio, and this was the perfect place to meet people!! They organise lots of events, and having easy access to the beach with a ticket for a free chair is an addes bonus! I can definitely recommend El Misti to others, and will likely stay here (or at least visit the amazing bar during happy hour!!) when I return, muito obrigado El Misti!! Tom

The property is in a great location. One block away from the beach. It was really safe. I was a solo traveller and walked around comfortably. The rooms were super clean and well taken care of. There are a lot restaurants, shops, and places for nightlife around the area. It was so easy to meet new people and the hostel has so many activities and also tours that you can book directly from them. The check-in process was super easy and there is a WhatsApp group to keep up to date with activities or get into contact with other travellers staying there. The real MVP here are the staff and volunteers that work very hard, are super outgoing and friendly, and that make sure you’re well taken care of. I found my home away from home. Shout out to Marcela, Rodrigo, Eduardo, Cristal, Eric, Juanjo, Cristal, Jordana, Tiago, Gabriel, Maude, Laura, Youss, and everyone else on the team. You guys have an amazing team. I hope that when I visit again, you’re all still there. I will always welcome seeing your friendly faces.
