“This house is not regular hotel like you suppose to expected. Basic facilities, but anyway you feel like it’s very local experience. Owner of the hotel doesn’t speak English, but anyway we understand each other without words. I was presentes by many things for free, he even didn’t charge me for laundry and got my cloth where I was on the way to some place where I suppose to pay for this service 😊”

“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..”

“The host is very kind and friendly. It is close enough to walk up the Selaron Stairs from the accommodation.”

“Alberto is the nicest man in Rio! Did everything we could possibly ask for (and more) to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Perfect for an authentic rio experience in lapa. Good and cheap nearby restaurants and party atmosphere on the weekends. Doesn't speak English (we dont speak portuguese) but more than makes up for it with enthusiasm and Google translate.”

“Very good location in Lapa. Near to the bars and the whole nightscene but still in a quiet area to get a good sleep. Rooms and common area like in the pictures. It was clean and provided with what you need for a stay. Alberto was very attentive to whatever you could need. Thank you!! 😃”

“In some sense this apartment exceeded my expectations, because I expected just a standard hotel with a standard attitude. You feel more like in a Brazilian home there, you have very good location with supermarkets and cool things nearby. Wifi works great inside the apartment(good for videocalls) and much worse outside(but good for surfing in the web). I enjoyed my stay, for this price this is amazing.”

“Very friendly host, was very eager to help. IMPORTANT: The entrance of the house is difficult to find, when you are at the street in front of R. André Cavalcanti, 123 then you have to go through the first (unlocked) gate, pass by casa 2 and then go through the second (locked) gate to get to casa 3. Coordinate with the host so he can open the second gate for you!”

“Roberto Botelho is a great person who always care about what you need! As he said “mi casa tu casa” You will be really welcome in this typical Brazilian house ! Full immersion in local people life, in a nice district of Lapa, thanks Roberto :-)”

“O Hostel é uma ótima opção de hospedagem na Lapa, com, inclusive, quartos individuais. Tem cozinha, lavanderia e área externa, com rede e mesa. O atendimento do anfitrião é excelente e ele se preocupa com o seu bem-estar durante toda a estadia.”“0”

“O Beto é excepcional. Muito atencioso e antecipou as minhas necessudades. Viajei sozinha e ele separou um quarto melhor e mais privado pra mim para que eu estivesse mais confortável.”“0”
