Villa 25

Room was clean and comfy. I loved that they had the option of same gender rooms with curtains along each bed for privacy. I felt comfortable and safe with my roommates for the several nights I was there. The breakfast was nice and you could eat indoors or out. They had a big screen tv in the event that you wanted to watch a soccer game.It was the perfect location near a local beach which was less touristy than Copacabana.

Showers could have been a little cleaner. Drains needed better function to clear hair and sand from the beach.

I really enjoyed my stay here. I worked remotely for the two weeks that I stayed. The internet was strong throughout the property. It was generally quiet during the day, which made it easy to work. I loved that the bunks had the privacy curtains. The rooms were cleaned everyday as well as the restrooms and the hostel in general. staff were constantly polishing, sweeping and cleaning. The restroom was always clean. The breakfast was AMAZING! There was a variety of pastries, fruit, eggs, cereal, etc! I absolutely loved it! Great way to start your day. The hostel is also located about one block from the Largo do Machado metro. They have day trips available if you want to do some sightseeing. I did two of the trips and had a great experience. The restaurant on-site was amazing! The neighborhood felt very safe. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Rio!

Make sure to bring mosquito repellent if you’re working in the lobby during the day!

The breakfast was good however with no variation. The location of the hostel is perfect as it is very central and the nearest metro station is only 200m away.

The AC in the room worked pretty good but for me personally it was a little bit too cold. The door to my room squeaked really loudly every time someone entered the room, which was exhausting in the mornings/evenings. Regarding the bathrooms, some shower doors did not close very good.

Good breakfast. Buffet with scrambled eggs, sausages, two or three types of bread, coffee, milk, yogurt, several types of tea, fruits, corn flakes and chocolate balls. The room was quiet and dark at night. They also have curtains in each bed for privacy and sockets, so you can charge you phone while you sleep. Lockers inside the room and small shelf on the bed for personal belongings at night time. Clean restroom and friendly staff.

Bed was a little bit small in terms of width and the mattress wasn’t soft enough. If you're travalling and working they have tables for you but the chairs are not good, because your back gets tilted backwards.

I liked the building a lot. Its beautiful and the Peruvian restaurant next to it is nice. The neighbourhood has stores and everything close to it. The breakfast is amazing. A lot of things to choose from. The wifi also worked well downstairs as in my room. The bathrooms, showers and rooms got checked and cleaned every day. The employees were super sweet and helpful. They helped me with all my questions. For a hostel this is a nice option to choose from if you also want a quiet environment.

The door of the female toilet on the first floor (where I slept) was broken so you could not lock the door. The beds were quite hard.

Charming preserved old building with good location (close to a metro station) in a nice and traditional residential area of Rio de Janeiro. The hostel itself has bed boxes with curtains (which give us some privacy) and your own outlet for charging mobile and light switch, in addition to air-conditioning (essential for Rio's high temperatures) and lockers. Bathrooms are OK and separated by gender. Staff super polite and helpful and a nice swimming pool in the backyards. The hostel offers breakfast, but I can not give any opinion because I woke up too late. 🫣 Located between Largo do Machado, surrounded by nice and affordable restaurants and home of an open air craft market, and the the beautiful and not very explored Park Eduardo Guinle. The latter, a sample of Atlantic Forest, worth it a visit for a walk or even for doing some yoga, reading a book or simply relaxing with a picnic basket in its grass 🪴🚶🧘‍♂️

The bathroom could be more comfortable and clean

1) Nice reception team 2) Elegant and organized place with nice installations 3) Very well located (Metro) for people who goes turisting or work 4) Nice breakfast and Peru Restaurant option 5) Keycard, towel rent, lockers in the room 6) Swimming pool available (unfortunately it was cold) weather so...

1) The lonely bathroom dedicated to Ladies could be for both gender (same that works good in other hostels) 2) Male's bathroom could have support to put self soup / shampoo / etc. + hangers for towels / clothes

It's a new modern hostel. They have modern facilities, including a pool for swimming - this may be very nice in Summer. Good breakfast. Pod-like beds with light switches and charging plugs built-in to the pods. There is paid overnight parking available very close, if you are renting a car, like I was doing.

Good breakfast, but no kitchen during the day and night. 3 beds on top of one-another. Thus, it could get congested during high season. Luckily when I was there, there were only 2 people in the room, so it wasn't a problem at all.

clean, comfortable, great restaurant in the hotel with Peruvian food. rooms are cleaned daily. the hotel/ hostel is right next to a metro station ans lots of shops ans cafes. staff at desk is very helpful

nothing really! just that if you are traveling solo then there’s no culture at this hostel/ hotel for common interactions with others. everyone just minds their own business here.

everything was quite nice, friendly staff, nice breakfast. downstairs there is a nice Peruvian restaurant. the hotel is close to the very nice parque guinle. the metro is close by as well as nice bars and restaurants

I stayed in the main house, which is an older building. most times you could hear other guests walking in their rooms, plugging their devices into the wall, etc. the walls aren’t as soundproof as they should be.
