About
The Gateway to the Amazon
Founded in 2006, Hostel Manaus is the gateway to the Amazon Rainforest. As the first and most charming hostel in Manaus, we offer much more than accommodation—we provide an immersive experience in the heart of the Amazon.
From the moment guests arrive, they are welcomed by an impressive art gallery showcasing the rich wildlife and flora of the Amazon, creating the perfect atmosphere for a deeper connection with nature. We also work in partnership with one of the most highly recommended tour operators in Manaus, Amazon Antonio Jungle Tours, making it easy for guests to discover the true Amazon.
The Amazon Theme
In 2014, Antônio Gomes, a native of the Brazilian Amazon, became the owner of Hostel Manaus. Drawing on his extensive experience in the tourism industry, he introduced a unique Amazon-inspired concept throughout the property by decorating it with original artwork celebrating the rainforest.
This transformation gave the hostel a distinctive identity, creating a warm, authentic atmosphere that reflects the beauty and spirit of the Amazon.
Our Story
Since its opening, Hostel Manaus has been recommended by some of the world's most respected travel guidebooks and has consistently received excellent reviews across major online booking platforms.
Over the years, it has established itself as one of the region's most distinctive hostels. Although other hostels have attempted to imitate its concept—even using similar names—Hostel Manaus remains unique. One of its defining features is its extensive gallery of Amazon-themed artwork, celebrating the extraordinary diversity of the rainforest's wildlife and plant life.
Be Part of Our Amazon Story
Hostel Manaus is housed in one of the city's original historic residences, built during the Amazon Rubber Boom at the beginning of the 20th century.
