A fantastic hostel with lovely staff and a great vibe to the place. This was just the sort of place we were looking for in Rio, not a party hostel but friendly and sociable with a laid back feel to it. The rooms were pleasant enough, normal bunk beds instead of the triple deck bunks you get in other places in Rio. Breakfast was good and the staff were very helpful. Buses to everywhere left from just around the corner.

A nice little hostel where the manager and owner do a lot of the shifts. Most of the other staff are new. They have a few more rooms that arent on hostel world including a double that is 130 per night - email them to enquire! It feels quite safe as its down a gated side road, however lockers are small and there is no real luggage storage, you just leave it at reception. It has a nice family feel as its small, and they offer good tours and will help arrange transport. Sad to leave!

Staff were so lovely here and so helpful with finding our way around the city with some great advice that might not be on the tours. Very clean, lovely breakfast. Very chilled out place where everyone's getting on and a really good vibe. Don't have a bad word to say made our time in Rio unforgettable if it wasn't already. Thank you.

Brilliant hostel for a solo traveller - atmosphere is great, really easy to meet people. Staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful / can't recommend this place highly enough. Book early - it books up fast and several people wanted to extend their stay and couldn't as it was fully booked.

The staff in this hostel are very friendly and helpful, which made all the differences. The hostel, like all places in Rio, is not very spacious, but they kept the place clean. The only issue I had was that there was not hot water in the last day of my staying. Otherwise, a good place to stay with good breakfast.

We spent 3 nights hear just before Carneval, the hostel was in a great spot in the centre of Ipanema down a secure street around lots of other hostels. It was pretty small but had loads of character and nice communal spaces and a good breakfast. Chris who co-runs the hostel was fantastic he made us feel right at home, nothing was too much trouble and he helped people hire bikes/organise trips etc. We would definitely recommend Harmonia.

- Nice staff - Nice breakfast - Good location - Not enough bathroms. It's normal to wait some minutes to use the bathrom. And the bathrom is clean but not very private.
