Best Hostel in Rio!
I stayed at Ipanema Beach Hostel at first 6 days and it was the best place I’ve stayed so far!! I decided to come back earlier at the end of my trip because it was a nice place to meet people and do party! The staff is friendly and always present to help in case of any concerns. It’s a great location in Rio and it’s really easy to meet others solo travelers. There is also a lot of activities organized by the hotel.

Four Nights Ipanema
I stayed there for four nights. The social atmosphere is excellent, but for one that actually wants to sleep at night it's not the best option. Party noises continue probably until 3am, even with earplugs I still couldn't sleep. Also the rooms are so cramped. If it weren't for the friendly staff and free drinks from 8-9pm I would not have been happy at all with any aspect of my stay.

Nice location, staff and reasonable price :)
I liked the location and the hostel! Sadly the bathroom had an issue.. and when I was charged extra cause my sis joined me in the private room that I wasnt really informed about and was told upon check out but i didnt really care much as I was rushing to head out and catch a flight. Later on I realized that was another R$80++ more and I didnt get an extra mattress for it or a bigger room. But anyway, the staff in total are nice. Food breakfast was alright for us, simple but really good enough to get going and I liked it personally. :) you get to toast your bread, have a cup of hot chocolate, cereals, yummy fruits, etc. i loved the location it's very close to the beach. Safe! Walk around for shopping. We had to take our stuff 3 large suitcases up but we survived. Theyre working on the elevator.. it's clean nice and new. They need to have the bathroom/toilet fixed. I was gonna stay for a night and extended for another night and had to endure the smell and flush problems the entire stay.. i informed them though. I wasnt around the whole stay so it was alright for me. I dont mind staying again I just hope I was properly informed prior about the addtl charges I only realized when I was on the flight out. Balcony is good too for the private room! :)

Staff and service were very good and helpful! Free Caipi is available from 20.00-20.30, either in the Ipanema Beach Hostel or in the partner hotel directly opposite. Room condition and cleanliness in the rooms was ok but could be improved, but this certainly depends on the number of people in the 8-bed room. The shower/toilet situation is a pity as it is located directly in the room and is very small. The toilet in the lobby is also very small and mostly dirty. The beach location is amazing. With the Uber you are in 5-10 minutes at the bars / restaurant and on foot you are in 5 minutes at the supermarket.

Pior Hostel que já fiquei
Sem dúvida, o pior Hostel que já fiquei e com preço altíssimo. Não me deram roupa de banho, banheiro sujo e sem manutenção. Rola uma balada com gente que não cabe e os quartos nao tem isolamento ao barulho. Não pretendo ficar de novo, péssima experiência.

Uma lugar incrível, onde fazem várias atividades com os hóspedes, como trilhas, idas a praias para jogar e também dão opções para quem quer curtir a noite carioca. Muito bem localizado, atendentes super simpáticos. Recomendo a todos que venham.

Minha estadia foi ótima! O hostel é extremamente perto de tudo e faz um trabalho belo de integração entre os hóspedes. A equipe deles é ótima, virando amigos! Destaco muito a Anna, que foi uma simpatia todas as vezes! Voltarei com certeza!! E o hambúrguer deles é a melhor pedida para o jantar!!

Ficar em Hostel é uma experiencia unica!
A Experiencia de hostel pra mim em geral é incrivel, ainda mais do ponto de vista de interação. Com relação a manutenção da estrutura fisica do local, ela certamente deve ser melhorada, tamanho de banheiro, mofos em alguns ambientes de uso compartilhado e limoeza em geral deve ficar a altura dos seus concorrentes e local onde esta instalado o hostel. Com relação a pessoas que compõem a equipe do Ipanema Beach Hostel, sao todos incriveis. Em especial o Sr. Israel Albuquerque, sempre muito, disponível, prestativo, simpatico dentre varias outras enumeras qualidades. O ótimo tratamento que recebi ofuscou os detalhes que citei acima, tive uma excelente estadia nesse final de semana que lá estive.
