Samba Palace Reviews

It was a great stay a Rio, the hostel is in a great location, really near the christ redeemer, and on the South Zone of the city, where the best touristic atractions are. You can easily arrive at Copacabana Beach, Sugar Loaf or the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas from there. The Staff is incredibly polite, and most atencious, i will definatelly come back when i'm in Rio again.

it is a nice hostel, with good location in a tranquil neighborhood, between the center and the beaches neighborhoods. friendly and helpful staff and really good prices :)

Great hostel in an excellent location for Christ the Redeemer! Breakfast was brilliant and beds were very comfy! Also was excellent value for money! Only negative thing to say was that check in wasnt untill 2pm, not anytime like it says on here! Though staff were very accomodating and managed to get us into our room a bit early!

Great spot, cool staff!!

One of the best hostels ive been to! the location is really good, its right in the middle of all the tourist sites! and easy to get a bus or the metro anywhere! there is a really good atmosphere, and the staff are amazing! rafa, andrea and acasia always offering you loads of things to do, especially some stuff thats not that touristy!! and eddy the barman makes the best caipirihna in brazil! the staff are the best! Awesome hostel

Have been there for a week and could have stayed even longer! Staff is very supporting and friendly! I think the location is also pretty good, since it is in the middle of the south and the Centro/Lappa. So, you are pretty fast in both directions.

Amazing hostel. Best breakfast I've had and the best shower I've had whilst travelling through South America. The hostel is an amazing set up everything is so new. Its not that social which sucks but I think its only cause its a new hostel. Its so easy to get to all the attractions! The only annoying thing is wi-fi is only in one part of the hostel & at 6pm they start blasting the music so so loud it makes it hard if your on skype or just trying to do stuff on internet

First off Samba palace is in a great location - walking distance to Christ the redeamer and in a great neighbourhood where you feel safe. There is tons of grocery stores and restaurants nearby as well as the metro being within walking distance. The staff is phenominal - Bianca and Rafael are tons of fun to chat with and make sure everything is in order for you and Eddy makes the best Caipirinha in Brazil - no joke, I tried ALOT and I mean ALOT, and always with a smile on his face. The breakfast

Nice staff, very helpfull. The location is good and there is music and abar at night, that is great. Just dont use the laundry service.

Weird price plolicy... very intransparent. At least zou should offer the hostelworld prices to those who prolong thier stay at the desk instead.

Breakfast is good and delicious!! There is a kitchen and refrigerator , so we can cook. On the other hand, there is a dry croth space but I was stolen my towel.

It was Carnaval time so obviously the place was crazier than normal but the staff handled it like pros. They were very patient with all of us drunks and seemed to enjoy the madness of it all. The breakfast could have been a bit better but once again, it was Carnaval and we were all starving after a night of partying. Loved the layout of the hostel as it was very open and bright. Also appreciated air condition in the room + the showers were nice+ big with space to move about and HOT water! :)

Hi Team, So please i chose Samba Palace. Being the first time in Rio the staff made me welcome, and the people staying were also very good. Getting passed the language differences isn´t such a problem when you have people around as accepting as those staying and managing Samba Palace. Great to get to know Acacia and her team. Have already recommended Samba Palace to others..

The hostel is very nice, very clean, very close to every important sightseeing in Rio. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help and recommend places to visit and to indocate the way around the city. I strongly recommend this hostel and will definitly stay there next time I travel to Rio.

I were just one night there and the place is fantastic, the only thing not so good about it was that the metro station was a bit far, but anyway is nice walking in Sao Paulo

This is a new hostel and really didnt have it together at all! Seems like they didnt really think about design at all as hardly much living space at all, the breakfast was non exisitent and the staff member who checked us in didnt have a clue what was going on.Would not stay there again.

The breakfast was very nice and the bed was comfortable too.

This is a very nice place that's located in an easy-to-get-to and beautiful area of the city. The photos placed on Hostel World are exactly what you have in front of you when you arrive. This along with the very attentive staff make for a wonderful atmosphere. They really do want that your stay in Rio be an unforgettable one.

a very good place to stay at! the staff is the best and the rooms are big and clean.
