Ideally located in the Copacabana district of Rio de Janeiro, Casa Saga - All Suites is set less than 1 km from Copacabana Beach, 2.2 km from Ipanema Beach and 2.3 km from Arpoador Beach. This guest house offers air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi. Sugarloaf Mountain is 7.4 km away and Tijuca Forest National Park is 10 km from the guest house.

I had an absolutely lovely stay here! The host (Sergio) is incredible, it’s in one of the best and safest neighbourhoods of Rio, and the atmosphere sort of feels like a hostel (which I mean in the best way possible) while still having a room with all the amenities to yourself

Offering inner courtyard views, Guest House Copacabana Hostel is an accommodation set in Rio de Janeiro, 2.3 km from Diabo Beach and 2.6 km from Ipanema Beach. It is located 500 metres from Copacabana Beach and offers a shared kitchen. The homestay also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service.

Very different type of hostel... It's just a dorm in someone's apartment. It was a great place to get a good night of sleep after too many Caparinhas. Highly recommend if you're looking for something chill with nice staff.

Suites W is a shared apartment that offers 2 room separated with private bathroom. Situated in Rio de Janeiro, only 2.1 km from Barra Olympic Park. Guests benefit from balcony and an outdoor pool. Free private parking is available on site.

I didn't like a shared apartment with two suites. I have rented the second suite due to safety issues. Also, I can't use the piscine because I don't have medical certification. and I didn't have time to visit a medic.

Located in a quiet, pacified favela near Leme beach, our hostel offers an authentic and welcoming experience. To reach us, you'll have to walk up a gentle slope and climb a few stairs, but the effort will be rewarded with a relaxing and unique atmosphere.

Everything! The place, the people, the food, the experience…

Our family had a great time at Villa Laurinda! The staff was kind, respectful, and always ready to give tips on local attractions and dining options. They arranged our New Year's Eve (driver, restaurant reservation), making our experience exceptional. The house is charming and well-decorated with an artistic touch. The rooms are good-sized with well-appointed bathrooms. Breakfast is a plus and Santa Teresa is a lovely neighborhood with lots to do.

    Great hostel in a a great spot, in Urca a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Andreas was a very welcoming and helpful host. The place itself has a pretty terrace and the breakfast was extraordinary, a vast choice of homemade products and individually prepared eggs. I would totally recommend it and I will come back when I am in Rio again.

    The flat is in a great location of trendy Leblon with spectacular views of Rio. The flat is quiet as it is quite high up on the 23rd floor of the building. Ideal for a couple or a single person. Hosts responded to our request.

    Great experience , wonderful host. It s like a mini self-contained appartment above the house. Practically next to the Metro but quiet. Very secure area. Rafael was very communicative and constantly kept in touch. I stayed at another place in Botafogu but this was much better, and cheaper!

    I only got to stay for one night, but this hostel would be even more perfect for people staying a little longer. It's in a great location: walking distance from stores, the metro and the nightlife of Lapa, but also in a quiet neighbourhood, where you can relax in a very nice environment and enjoy the panoramic view of the city from above. The house is just beautiful and the pool is the best hangout spot after a day of sightseeing.

    Centrally located near the nightlife of Lapa, but in a quiet part of the neighbourhood, the guesthouse offered an authentic Rio experience. The room was basic but cosy and comfortable, and the attentive and charming host, Alberto, enhanced the stay here with his friendliness..
