Vidigal Hostel

Uma das atmosferas mais legais que já experenciei em hostels. O staff é muito legal e, somado com a vista incrível do hostel, faz com que a vibe do lugar seja ótima. O acesso ao hostel é por mototaxi, achei super tranquilo, mesmo sendo minha primeira vez, e me senti super segura no vidigal. A estrutura do hostel é bacana, os quartos de baixo são super frescos e achei o banheiro bem bom e espaçoso. A varanda dispensa comentários, é perfeita. Vale ressaltar que, por estar em um morro, boa parte dos ambientes

The staff here were absolutely lovely and the hostel itself once within the walls felt ok in terms of safety. The views overlooking Rio are stunning. However, it should be clearer to travellers that it is located in a favela and taxis will not take you up the hill to the door of the hostel. You have to take a moto taxi the rest of the way which isn’t safe for solo female travellers. I changed hostels upon arrival purely because of this.

What is advertised about this hostel is not totally true, please pay attention to this. This is in a Favela and it is a pain to go up and down. The people working at this hostel when I stayed were ok and the property ran out of water, toilets were clogged. I had to leave mid stay and they never refunded me. Stay away from this place.
