More Ipanema Hostel

The location is GREAT, the staff was very kind and helpful. Not clean to our standards unfortunately:(

Nicole was absolutely amazing. Her customer service truly made my stay warm, attentive, and always willing to help. I stayed in a private junior room, and I’ll be honest: it was the tiniest room I’ve ever seen. Definitely not enough space for two people, so if you want comfort or space, this isn’t the spot for that. Also, the elevator only goes up to the 4th floor, and my room was on the 6th thankfully Nicole helped me carry my bags upstairs, which I appreciated more than they know. What really stands out here are the activities. They were amazing super social, well organized, and they keep you engaged the whole time. You literally don’t get time to be bored. If you enjoy meeting people, this place is perfect. My breakfast was included, and it was okay nothing special but good enough to start the day. Despite the tiny room, the hostel vibe, the location, and especially the staff + activities made my stay great value for the price. You’re paying for the area and the experience, not a luxury room.

Great staff. Great manager! Camilla is 10 out of 10 and good at foot volleyball. A lot of experiences planned for guest from parties, sports, drinks and tattoos etc lol. Good spot

Room smelled like mildew and mold was growing on the curtains and bathroom. I had my sun glasses stolen from a private room and they conveniently waited until my last day to review security camera footage only to say the cameras were broken. The staff were really nice but management was awful and the condition of the rooms is absolutely NOT worth staying at. I have stayed at several hostels and this one has been the worst by far.

I didn't like was having to wait until to check in time & having to self check in & make the bed, which i don't mind doing but this is one of the more pricier hostels & i had gotten there at 7am, I thought, we'll at the very least they're cleaning the room/bathroom but they hadn't, it was kinda gross. Since they don't make the bed or were cleaning the room, you would think they would let me know as soon the bed was available or at the very least, check in time! but that wasn't the case. But besides that, it's a great social hostel with daily activities & great atmosphere.
