Opa! Hostel

Cute familiar hostel. Pictures are well describing this place. Best volunteers ❤️

Everything was really nice. Special thanks for the staff and volunteers. They make a difference

this hostel is great! the staff is very helpful, special mention to Alex and David, who let me check in early after my long overnight flight. There is a whatsapp group where the staff posts activities organised by the hostel or activities happening in Rio. The ambiance is very fun!

Rio is a magical place and this hostel is the best option to get everywhere as it is very well connected and in one of the best neighborhoods. However, the best of the hostel is its staff. They were always very helpful and friendly, letting us check in earlier, leaving our baggage’s… Especially the manager Alexandre was always there if we needed something. From recommending us places to go, to helping us book for local events. He’s always available and happy to help with all types of quest...

Stayed here a few times, it’s social, but manager(Alex)was disappointing.He ignored me when I saw him at an event after my stays,even when I called his name which felt rude & unprofessional.I forgot an item that was brought to reception by a volunteer so I could pick it up later but he couldn’t locate it or help which shows a lack of organisation & care.There was no TV at first but one had been installed by my last stay:an odd upgrade given the lack of basic features like curtains.Dont recom...

Great stay at Opa! Staff were incredibly friendly, with a great social atmosphere and daily suggestions for activities/events given by the manager Alex and the staff/volunteers. Botafogo is a brilliant place to stay in Rio for a mix of local/tourism/party/culture. Huge thanks to the Opa team for making our stay so great - highly recommend!

Very sociable hostel, very easy to meet people as a solo traveler, one of the best I've ever stayed at! The staff were super helpful and friendly!!! There was always something going on that you could join in. The facilities were great with loads of outdoor areas. The location was perfect, Botafogo is the best neighborhood and it was very close to the metro!!! Alex was the bestt, thank you for everything!!! I'll be back for sure!

O melhor hostel de Botafogo! Ambiente super acolhedor, amigável, respeitoso e tudo sempre limpinho. A equipe é extremamente atenciosa e prestativa, faz a gente se sentir em casa de verdade. Ao mesmo tempo, é um lugar perfeito pra conhecer e curtir o Rio, com vários rolês organizados por essa equipe maravilhosa. Voltarei com certeza, e recomendo muito o Opa Hostel!

Booked 4 nights here, made the mistake of trying another hostel, but quickly came back to stay another 10 days. Perfect for solo travelers: weekly activities & common areas indoors and outdoors make it easy to meet people or enjoy quiet time. Working remotely, the WiFi was excellent. But came back for the vibes and the people; staff (Ale, Sam, Pam), volunteers (Queen Mimi deserves her crown) and other guests quickly became friends. You’ll find everything you need here except for curtains!

if you wanna stay in a safe and not so hectic neighbourhood, this hostel is a good choice. rooms are clean and the staff is welcoming. there's also opportunities for some fun activities during day and nighttime.

Absolutely loved Opa, came back three times! The staff were so fun, friendly, and helpful (epically Alex!), showers were amazing, and the bar had super cheap caiprinhas and was always really good vibes. Rooms big, clean and comfy and being so close to so many amazing bars in botofogo was also really handy and definitely worth staying to experience botafogo. 10/10 :))
