Castelo dos Tucanos Host features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Rio de Janeiro. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can make use of a bar.

Guests at the hostel can enjoy a buffet breakfast. Breakfast is great. Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful. There's a lot of common areas so it's easy to socialize or chill. There's a coworking space and gym weights which is helpful. It's my favorite hostel in Rio (and I've been to over 5). Location is very safe during the day, but you need to take an Uber to go to the beach, which was fine by me but not might be for others.

Hostel Sunrise has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Rio de Janeiro. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can make use of a bar. I had a wonderful time in the RWC Hostel. The host and the volunteers really care about your experience and can give you personal advice on where to go and what to watch out for. I felt safe, cared for and most important: I had a lot of fun! It is the kind of hostel where you can follow the vibe. Whether you want to party, or have a chill night. The building (with amazing architecture and loads of flowers and paintings) accommodates for every need. Thanks for the amazing time, will definitely come back 🙏✨
