Отель El Misti Hostel Ipanema, Рио де Уна, Бразилия

Although everyone says Rio isn’t safe, we felt totally comfortable here! Great location! The place is super cute, has a fun community vibe, and still manages to stay chill at night. We had some issues with our booking and the staff really went above and beyond to help — I can’t thank them enough!Luggage storage was easy and super helpful too. Would 100% stay again.

Great overall! Great staff, great activities, great location!! Amazing restaurants nearby. Close to a great area on the beach.

I stayed here for about a week and a half and had a fantastic experience. The location is perfect, everything in the rooms were functional, clean, and well maintained, and the common areas were cool little relaxing spots where they served good food and drinks. The staff was helpful, friendly, and super organized, all the marks of a 10/10 hostel. But what really set El Misti apart was how they supported me when I got sick during my stay, a traveler’s worst nightmare. They helped me find local medical care, helped move all my things to a private room that I changed my booking during that time, made sure I had what I needed, like food, water, and regularly checked in on me to see how I was doing. Cristal, in particular, was incredibly kind, but the entire team really went above and beyond. I’m truly grateful and appreciative. This hostel isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a place that takes care of YOU. That’s a quality that really elevates them among others. 12/10 would recommend!

The location is unbeatable only one street away from the beach. There are also many good restaurants around, the area felt safe, and it’s very centrally located. The communal spaces are great, with the bar on the ground level and the rooftop space. It’s a very social hostel so it’s easy to make friends. There are events most nights in the bar area and tons of activities they can help you schedule which is especially great if you’re a solo traveler. The staff is one of the best parts. They are all extremely kind and helpful. Cristal and Jordana in particular answered every question I threw at them and helped me find some of my favorite activities to maximize my time in Rio. The beds have privacy curtains, outlets, a light, and plenty of locker space. The rooms are also cleaned daily.

i had an amazing stay at El Misti! The highlight of my stay was the staff. everyone was super friendly and welcome from the moment i stepped in. I loved the events that are organized at the hostel to facilite interactions between the guest. Especial thanks to Juan Pablo who took me to Dois Irmaos. i would recomend this hostel to everyone who is traveling solo and wants to meet people. ill be back
