Lock in a great price for Rio Forest Hostel – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

You can see all city by balcony . Really it's fantastic

Mounir10, Morocco

Firstly the stairs are horrendous! Especially with luggage. Otherwise a fantastic hostel, lovely staff, great breakfast (with monkeys joining in sometimes), 10 Min walk to the famous steps. A little further to the Metro, 20mins maybe. Close to nightlife.

Jo, United Kingdom

Breakfast was delicious but small, nice view of Lapa from the balcony, air condition was excellent and beds were comfortable

Amanda, Australia

The travellers we met were the best, a nice hostel to party at

Hollie, United Kingdom

The air-conditioning was great, and the view from the hostel is really nice!

Jsw18, Australia

The location in the green with a pool and a great view of the city are fantastic. The atmosphere was great and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Thanks for a amazing time. Great hostel and highly recommended.

Luisa, Germany

The room was small but I thought that it was a good idea that each room has one theme of the touristic place of Rio de Janeiro. What I liked the most of the hostel was the terrace which has a pool.

桃子, Japan

We took a private room, which looked realy good in this old building. The whole house and the hall are beautiful and placed in a stunning location with some of the best views of lapa. The common area and the bar are great locations to hang out!

Jwhaveman, Netherlands

Wonderfull view, nice garden, beautiful area next To Lapa and street art.

Esther, France

The staff is really nice. Wifi works and the breakfast is ok. View from the balcony is very good

눉The kitchen for the guests is extremely small and dirty. There aren’t enough showers for all the guests and more than once the toilets were clogged all day. The rooms were not big enough for all the beds placed inside so walking around was absolutely impossible.
눇It’s located 5 minutes away from the Santa Theresa step in a great part of town.
