Excellent breakfast, huge showers, cozy beds with lots of space. The social scene is mixed with mostly French guests who tend to stay amongst themselves. Overall the property itself is so comfortable and provides everything you could ask for both short and long term stays.

I really enjoyed my one-week stay at Aquarele do Leme. The staff is great: super helpful and friendly. Even the owner, Thibault, is very nice and accessible. The terrace is the best. I enjoyed my coffee up there every morning. The breakfast included eggs, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers and assorted fruits, plus all of the normal stuff. The coffee is excellent and was a pleasant surprise, given that this is a budget hotel in the middle of a favela. I never felt any danger whatsoever walking up and down the 5 minute hill to Leme and Copacabana. I really appreciated the scrupulous and diligent cleaners and I'd be happy to stay here again. Muito obrigada!

I really love the Aquarela do Leme hostel and plan to stay there again in the future; however, people should understand that it does get noisy in the neighborhood. On my final evening, the music from the neighborhood went - literally - all night long. Be sure to bring earplugs or headphones that will drown out the noise so that you can get quality sleep.

Great hostel with a wonderful staff. Views are great, activities are numerous, breakfast is tasty… I suppose my only complaint would be that the area can get noisy. There was music all night long … bring earplugs or headphones to drown out the noise.
