All the staff were incredibly lovely, helpful & professional. All facilities were modern & clean + aircon in the bedrooms. Common space by the pool was a perfect place to relax and meet people! The best experience & most comfortable stay I've ever had in a hostel. Couldn't be happier & more thankful!

The hostel is really dynamic, offers lots of activities for turists, such as a free sea turtle watch, free samba classes and there is a cool rooftop bar where you can try brazilian drinks (I highly recommend it!!). The breakfast is a tiny buffet: scrambled eggs, cereals, yoghurt, ham and cheese, fruits and vegetables, everything fresh and delicios! You don’t have to worry about your stuff, there is a locker for each person under the beds where you can store your luggage and close it safely for the entire duration of your stay. Every room has a nice hammock on the balcony, I really enjoyed chilling there. The AC is working all day long, the temperature is perfect inside the room even though we were 8 people in the mixed dorm. The bathroom is cleaned daily, you get a hair dryer, you can rent towels.

Highly recommended for solo travelers or couples. I initially booked for just one night but ended up staying three weeks in this charming castle. Located in the heart of the city, this historical gem is adorned with beautiful art, and you can enjoy a stunning view of Christ the Redeemer right from your room. The large garden and relaxing pool are perfect for unwinding, and the rooftop offers breathtaking sunsets. The rooms are impeccably clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Every Sunday, there's a free BBQ, and the breakfast is simply amazing, with a wide variety of delicious options. The warm, social atmosphere made me feel right at home. I can't wait to return to Castelo Dos Tucanos. Special thanks to Bea for her excellent guest relations and to Solenn for always being so responsive. Thank you all—see you next time!

I loved everything about my stay at the Rio World Connection hostel: The staff and especially the owner Marcos is super welcoming and makes sure you are having the best time while in Rio. He knows the city inside out and will give you tips on where to go and what to do - or even take you there personally. The hostel itself is just gorgeous (actually it's the most beautiful hostel I have ever stayed at). It is a beautiful old villa with a fantastic view of Rios bay and a refreshing pool. Trust me, there's nothing better than jumping into the pool after a hot day of sightseeing and to socialize with other backpackers. If you are looking for a beautiful, central place to stay where you can easily meet other backpackers and love a good pool party, this is definitely the best place to stay in Rio!

    Stuff are very kind and helpful, the place is very clean, the location is great depends on what you're looking for (obviously if you want to spend most of your time by the beach - it's not ideal). Only good words to say
