Rio Forest Hostel

Had the private room. Very small room and barhroom - you need some Tetris skills. The bar was closed and its a bit worn out. Nice staff

Not a good hostel to stay in if you are looking for a nice rest, but might be fun if you like a party. The rooms are generally unclean. I saw cockroaches in the bedrooms, the toilet did not work and the showers on the ground floor only had cold water. The mattresses were of very poor quality, smelly and made an awful noise every time you move in the night. On the plus side, the staff were nice and the rooftop bar is fun and the location is pretty central.

We had a wonderful stay here for 5 days! Amazing people and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Very sad to leave

Very nice staff. Great parties. Awesome view of Rio de Janeiro.

The location of Rio Forest Hostel is really great - up on top of Santa Teresa, you have a beautiful view over the northern part of Rio: Lapa, Centro and Flamengo beach are really close! That means you have to walk up a bit, but it is worth it :) The rooms were clean, even though it was Carnaval and I imagine it's not easy to clean after so many people in so many rooms. But the team always gave their everything, also with helping you out and providing very good recommendations. The crew was suuuper cool, after a couple of days you feel really at home with all the people - awesome and welcoming atmosphere! No wonder, that every evening there were people over who already checked out days ago (me, after checking out, included)... :) If I come back to Rio, I will surely come back to you guys, thank you very much for the great time!!
