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!

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.
