Lapa Hostel Reviews

Pretty nice hostel. Well located, friendly staff and cheap prices.

This hostel has a good common room and is a good place to meet other travellers. Stayed in the 20 dorm which is really well laid out and spacious. It isnt close to the beaches but its easy to get a bus there. The staff are not that knowledgable about tours and transfers but aside from that, they are very friendly and helpful.

If you're in Rio to party in Lapa, this definitely is a good hostel to stay at. It's cheap, awesome location in Lapa, and the staff actually join the parties. There are some security risks when the door next to the entrance is left open, take care of this issue guys. The beaches are quite far away, this hostel is fine if you come to Rio to party (weekend for example)

I had a great time. Bedroom and bathroom were really clean. Even though I stayed in the 20 people room, it didn't feel crowded at all. Excelente location, one block away from all bars and clubs. Just 20 minutes by bus to the good beaches. Met a lot of nice people and staff was great!

Nice hostel, and close to Lapa, which is a big plus. Still have some glitches to fix, but has a lot of potential. Although it seems overpriced for what you get, its cost is quite fair in the context of Rio.

Fantastic! Best hostel I've ever stayed in Brazil. Great staff, location.. Amazing! I do recommend!

I really enjoyed my few time in Lapa Hostel!!! Thank's to everybody that was there! I hope I can go back more times!!

Well, the staff dont use any identification so you never know who runs the hostel and who are the guests. The building is really old and smells bad. Besides, Lapa is one of the worst neighborhoods in Rio. Crowded, dirty and noisy. I'll never go back again.

I had a fantastic time at Lapa hostel, it is very friendly, and you feel more like you're in a big house than in a hostel . It is quite new, so the mattresses are very new too, and the place is super clean. Plus, the staff are helpful and very friendly. I actually found it hard to leave! :-) Muito obrigada!

A few parting thoughts Stay in the 20 bed dorm. Location - Amazing location, tons of character in this neighborhood. Nightlife is famous, but great feel in the city as well. Staff - The group that works here is extremely friendly and if you ever have any questions/concerns/inquiries, they are extremely happy to help you out and navigate rio. Vibe - Very laid back and relaxed. Newness - Only several months old and continuously being approved/soliciting advice from guests. Will only get better

Not sure how this property got such a high rating...I was expecting a little more. The facilities were pretty disgusting...the 20 person dorm room insanely overpacked with no AC and no windows. Bathroom was very dirty. The kitchen is only big enough for 2 people max, and they are having issues with electricity at the moment. Very lacking in atmosphere/character. Can't tell who is staff at the property, they all have their shirts off and talk in the dorm rooms late at night too!

the hostel is not fancy, but it was amazing just because the atmosphere and the staff were amazing! we were in the 20 people dorm and it didnt feel like that at all. desent breakfast (but we woke up only twice to eat it, because the location is exellent just where everything happening so we went out every single night-for 2 weeks!) the staff is very friendly and helpfull, and it just feels like home. the air conditioning did not work yet-it should be fixed but there were many fans.

clean place. good people. good energy. If you want to stay in Lapa, look no further. its the cheapest place in the area and you will be looked after.

I had an amazing time staying in Rio at Lapa Hostel. The best nightlife is in Lapa, and its easy to access the subway to get to the beach. The staff was really helpful and friendly.

Great Staff * Great location for the great partying in Lapa on the weekends! Walking distance to the Metro station to get to Copacabana/ Ipanema/ Leblon etc. Supermarket & good cheap restaurant options on the next street! ** i stayed here on three seperate times i was in Rio, sleeping in the 20x bed dorm every time as its set out really well and is very spacious! the Owner/ Operators are absolute Legends! they will always Help, Assist & make suggestions & the place has the BEST VIBE!!!!

Seems like the goal was to put as many beds as possible into the building, without regard for space left to common area. Guess it's ok if you like sitting on the floor while at the hostel. Can't compare it to other hostels in Rio, but I'm supprised at it's high rating.

Hard to find better location to know Rio, and in my opinion, Lapa is the best to enjoy special nightlife, full of concerts, music and happiness! But more than that, to feel confortable in an hostal is not always easy, but the staff is so great, you're gonna feel at home relly fast, and it is an other reason why I really like it there!

Awesome ! Mainly because the location that is right in the center of the night life of Rio de Janeiro in Lapa neigborhood ! About five minutes walking into the famous places ! The friendly and proactive staff just can teach or lead you to the famous tourisct points in Rio like "Sugar Loaf Mountain" and "Christ Redeemer" ! It seems that the hostel are focused in the peaceful rest of their costumers once the fun are assured by the surroundings. It provides enough cleanliness. Worth the investment!

Good hostel, in a hot spot in Lapa. The 20 beds room is quite large and comfortable. I recommend it.

I'm really grateful for the kindness that all members of staff had. The activity organized by them, the hospitality, and the worming atmosphere made my experience in Lapa so GREAT. Definitely I will go there again if back in Rio De Janeiro! The location is fantastic, just minutes from the center of main activities, strongly Recommended!
