Selina Lapa Rio de Janeiro

Majestic ecletic building, Selina Lapa is a result of a gorgeous refurbishment devolving all dignity to this amazing 19 century building deserves, turming it into a trendy elegant hotel, hostel, working area, meeting point at Lapa. Appealing to a mix clientele, ageless lovers of old and new things. Offers collective kitchen, library, terrace and wifi. Of course exquisite views of the archs of Lapa not mentioning the internal views of the building. A must stay or at least a visit.

The location is good. Just the homeless could scare some. But it's not dangerous. Rooftop has nothing special. Party not my taste. Kitchen is bad! Many things are missing and very dirty! Rooms are fine. Staff friendly! A bit of a hotel style with bar and restaurant.

The hostel is amazing and it strikes as soon as you interact with the front desk staff. The staffs are super friendly and groomed well in handling guests and their request. second is the room, aptly spaced and full privacy in the bed. The bed privacy isn't generally present in most of the hostel, but this is super important i look for, so met my expectation. The bed was comfortable and the towel provided for a small fee is worth it. The location is amazing aswell, lively and right in front we have bike rental rio bike spot, super useful. overall excellent stay and absolute value for money.

Best hotel / hostel we stayed at in Brazil! Well located in central Rio / lap right beside the famous staircase. We didn’t have breakfast included but it was tasty...at the weekends though the cafe need extra staff on as it igets incredibly busy in the morning time. After 45 mins waiting to just order breakfast we had to leave one morning!

Great location but impossible to contact and bad service. I was looking for a coworking space, tried contacting them about hours through their website, by calling, and by email. No responses. When I showed up, the entire coworking space ended up being rented out to a company and unavailable, while it's still available on the website. Also, no coffee this morning and spotty wifi. This seems to be an ongoing issue with Selina hostels, as I've had issues with a Selina in Panamá as well. I'll be looking for other coworking hostels in the future.
