Studio Beach Hostel Reviews

You should install lockers for everyone.

Atmosphere was casual and relaxed, everybody can go in and out whenever, usually nobody checks the door. Be prepared not to get a personal locker, then you can give your things to reception. Location is perfect, a few steps from the sea and centre. I enjoyed my time, met great people at the hostel, but if you are lonely there then the hostel staff wouldn't help, they are not very social or talkative to visitors. But Vila do Abraao is such an easy place to meet new people anyway!

The hostel is ok but nothing special. For this money you can't complain, though. Breakfast was good but we didn't find the staff too friendly. The only locker is in the staff room. You can use it but you have to ask sb from the staff to open it. Not very comfortable. Avarage kitchen and you can't bring alcohol in. They could have cleaned the bathroom more often. No space outside or to dry your clothes. It's in the main area of tge town.

good breakfast

The hostel was perfect until we discovered bed bugs in the room... Hopefully they had other beds available and this one was ok. They cleaned everything properly after we told them. The staff is nice, particularly the argentinians. If this would have not happened, I could have recommend it. Location is perfect and the hostel is cozy...

Nice hostel, very close to the beach, all the restaurants and a supermarket. The breakfast is good but funny with a lot of sweets. Staff isn't always too nice, but ok.

Quite hard to find, the directions arent the best on here! however it was a nice hostel and the staff were very helpful! its got the craziest breakfast ever!!

Unclean, bad smell, not nice staff, kitchen dirty and uncomplete. Breakfeast really good, but we had to wait to long to get a table.

Good hostel it's value for your money only the breakfast was weird with all the candies haha! And I can imagine that's hard to keep the hostel that clean because there were no normal roads! Staff is friendly! Had a nice time!

This hostel is a very cute family hostel. with around 40 beds only, you kind of feel like at home, especially at breakfast time. The owner is such a kind man, the kitchen is decent, you've got what you need. internet is quite slow but i think its everywhere on the island, and the showers could be warmer, they also make dinners for r$13. We had a really good time there, we highly recommend it :)

A little bit out of the main hub but Rio is so big we didnt mind and we were on the right side for the airport. Fab facilities and common areas, good kitchen and eating area and a few computers which was good. Dorms a bit tight but toilet/shower facilities were great and the place was spotless. Would recommend if your happy to hop on buses/metro to explore :)

I stayed here with my boyfriend on a tight budget at the start of a 5 month trip and the kitchen facilities were sufficient, we had a double bed, the rooms were cleaned every day and breakfast is the best breakfast i have had in a hostel, lots of cake and fruit and bread, ham and cheese. The lady who runs the hostel isnt very nice and they are generally unorganised... but it meant we ended up in a better room paying for the cheaper one as a result! Would come back tothis hostel if here budget

Had a really nice stay here perfect location,just a short walk from the pier.The guy puts on a great breakfast,with everything you can think of.They also do a all you can eat meal some evenings for just £5 which is freshly prepared by one of the ladies and it's really delicious!The island has regular blackouts so then theres no Internet,maybe book your next accommodation before going to this island.We stayed here for 5 days and only manages it on the 4day because of this.Also no ATMmachines here

The dorms were ok, clean with an own bathroom. The staff (especially the woman) was the most unfriendly person i ´ve ever met. It seems to me that she doesn´t like women, cause some guys we talked to said she was nice to them. Well her character made the whole atmosphere kind of bad. The breakfast is really great. I missed a place to relax in this hostel. There is only the breakfast table which not really gives you the opportunity to relax. The dorms are never locked. So do not leave value there

Nice place to stay on the Island. Nice atmosphere and the breakfast is great, lots of fruit!

Nice and cheap and verry funny breakfast... Definitely recommended

I've had the best breackfast ever i have had... In this hostel i found everything that i needed ! The staff was ok, and the atmosphere friendly.

This was a really fun place to stay. It was clean, the staff was friendly and the breakfast was great.

awesome hostel, friendly staff, great breakfast and awesome location

Slightly manic hostel, grumpy staff but great location, friendly guests and very cheap
