Samba Villa Hostel

There is an Irish bar underneath the hostel. What much more do you want The owner, upon hearing there was an astonishingly great looking Irish man (moi of course) frequenting his establishment, insisted in sharing an irish whisey with me. Not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm, I agreed. He returned two mins later with what can only be described as two pints of Jameson! We are now happily married. nice views within the hostel over the streets, great party atmosphere. I somehow slept lie a baby within the dorms. However, I put this down to a combination of voluminous amounts of Jameson (see above) and my suspicions of a gas leak. which definitely aided my nights sleep.

Great hostel if you are easy going and looking for a fun time in Rio! This hostel is located in what at first seems to be a very sketchy area, but once you get used to Rio's atmosphere you feel right at home. Good hostel, nice staff, nice people, good price. If you are under 40 and dont mind a tiny bathroom then this hostel will be a fun place for you to stay.

Great location for the Lapa jump up. otherwise not much going on during the week. A nice chilled vibe.

Literally right in the heart of the Friday night action, which is very useful for toilet stops and replenishing cash reserves. Don't expect any sleep. The place is LOUD, especially if there are aussies there, which no doubt there always is. Just a room to crash in rather that get a taxi back to copacabana. Perfect for fridat, wouldn't stay any longer!
