Gaia Hostel in Rio de Janeiro provides adults-only accommodation with a shared lounge, a bar and barbecue facilities. The property is around less than 1 km from Botafogo Beach, 3.6 km from Rodrigo de Freitas Lake and 4.2 km from Sugarloaf Mountain. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Before coming to Rio, I was a bit worried about safety, but this hostel completely put my mind at ease. It has its own secure entrance, which made me feel very safe. The metro station is just a few minutes’ walk, making transportation super convenient. There are several supermarkets nearby, which is very handy, and the beach is only about a 20-minute walk away—perfect for a stroll or relaxing. I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely choose this hostel again next time I visit Rio!

Attractively situated in the Buzios City Centre district, this hostel is set in Stones Road. The property is a 4-minute walk from Gran Cine Bardot and a 6-minute walk from Bus Central Station. Outstanding hostel in every way. Knowledgeable, accommodating, super-friendly, and upbeat staff. Oceanfront location. Comfortable, airy rooms with lights and plugs at each bed, and an individual locker assigned for each bed. Huge windows that slide open to sea breezes and the sound of the ocean. Street side entrance is on the main walking street filled with restaurants and ambience. Nice continental buffet, included in the price, in an airy room facing the ocean. I've been here before, and it has all the qualities that you would want in a perfect hostel.

Aquarela do Leme has a fitness centre, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Rio de Janeiro. The property is situated 800 metres from Leme Beach, 5.1 km from Sugarloaf Mountain and 5.8 km from Rodrigo de Freitas Lake. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

Rooms include air conditioning, and some rooms at the hostel have a balcony. Honestly one of the nicest hostels I have ever been definitely recommend! Its would be even better if they organised some free events at the hostel not just tours. But definitely stay at this hostel for some nights in Rio, maybe not super long, the walk up and down to the hostel gets a bit tiring.

This lively hostel in Rio de Janeiro has a great location 300 metres from famous Copacabana Beach. It offers fun in its bamboo spa, pool bar and outdoor mountain lounge.

Guests at Bamboo Rio Hostel can take a dip or enjoy a beer by the outdoor pool. They can also relax in the outdoor lounge and observe the monkeys in the nearby trees. Bike rental is available. The location was a 5-10 minute walk to Cocacabana Beach, whilst it is on a side street it’s 20metres from a main road, so I felt it was always a safe location. It is also 5 minute walk to the nearest metro which I used a few times. I stayed in my own room, it was clean and nice to come back to after a long day exploring the city. The staff were always really helpful, polite, and welcoming. Specific mentions to Pedro and David, who always answered my questions, and always assisted me. I would recommend Bamboo Rio Hostel.
