Property Description

Built in the beginning of the last century by a Polish embassador, the house was uniquely constructed and still holds the special details and archietecture reminiscent of a European Castle.

We have mixed dorms that can hold 4, 6, 8 and 12 guests (bunk beds/coed) as well as a dorm room for girls (8 regular beds).
All Dorms have electronic lock on door and individual lockers.
Some of our Dorms have bathroom inside and air conditionining. They are our Best Dorms!
Private rooms are available for groups between 2 and 5 guests.
Our best room is our Family Private Room (Family 5 Bed Private) which can fit up to 5 guests.
The room has air-conditioning, fan, bathroom, small kitchen with microwave, Cable TV, and small fridge.

Our private chalets (Double Bed Privates) are a great option for 1, 2 or 3 guests. The room includes a queen-size bed (extra mattress for a 3rd person), balcony, bathroom and air-conditioning. Some also have SmarTV.

Pura Vida Hostel is situated within walking distance between two of the most famous beaches in the world. Less than a 1 minute walk lands you in front of Lifeguard Tower 5 (Posto 5) of Copacabana Beach and within 10 minutes, you will find yourself in Ipanema Beach with a fantastic view of the famous mountains of Dois Irmãos and Gávea!
To get to Pura Vida Hostel, there are 3 options: Bus, Taxi / Uber or Metro.
No matter how you come, the best way to reach our home is by Copacabana, through Rua Sá Ferreira.
The Hostel's address is Rua Saint Roman, number 20. Our house is the 2nd on the right, coming from Rua Sá Ferreira.

Hospedagem maravilhosa, muito bem organizada e limpa e com uma localização privilegiada, perto da praia de copacabana e de ipanema. Funcionários muito prestativos e atenciosos e o hostel possui várias programações e eventos. O local possui uma energia perfeita para socializar e conhecer pessoas de vários lugares. Se voltar ao Rio, com certeza ficarei no Pura Vida!

Overall, a good hostel in about as good a location as any with respect to proximity to Copacabana. My only complaint would be the lack of privacy in both the bedrooms and bathrooms as well as the cleanliness in general. It was also super hot without aircon but on the whole a hostel I would recommend.
