Pura Vida Hostel Rio de Janeiro

Le personnel est désagréable et nonchalant. On a réservé une activité (city tour payant 80 euros par personne) sur tout Rio. Ils ont annulé l’activité le jour même quand on est arrivé. Pas un message, pas d’appel et quand on est arrivé on nous a dit que c’était pas remboursable et pas reportable. C’est une vraie arnaque et ils ne font rien pour s’excuser.

12 bed room was horrible and hot. Bathrooms and room were filthy. Closed off the kitchen for new years so couldn’t get water. Questioned if I was a guest there even though I had my wrist band. Only female in a 12 bed dorm room. Thought they might spread genders out

Reserve en el Hostel vía web donde aboné y luego se contactaron vía celular con links raros para que pague.. cuidado !!

they offer a transfer to isla grande and they charge you R$440 per person there and $440 to return back. Included is the transfer the van and the boat to Abraao beach. They use Easy Transfer Brasil. They told me they only charge R$190 per way so this hostel is taking huge advantage out of guests adding a 65-75% mark up for themselves. i understand 10 or 15% but this is digusting. Also the dorm beds are very u ncomfortable and the location is at the entrance to a favela and a girl get her phone s

We booked a 3 person room, but we got a room with a bed for 1,5 person and a matrass on the ground. The matress felt like plastic and were very thin. There was no more space to move around in the room, really small for 3 people. Als very noisy until late..

Terrible… we were 3 girls that was supposed to stay there. Saw the room and couldn’t get out fast enough. Was really uncomfortable and the room was not good. The area was also uncomfortable. If you are a girl don’t stay in mixed rooms definitely or just don’t stay there at al.

Vou falar do Réveillon 2025, não vão!! Ambiente totalmente cheio ( bem mais pessoas que o ambiente suporta), banheiro fedidos, comida horrível e pouca Muita gente frustrada!!! Péssima experiência

It's in a favela. Enjoy it! They don't allow you to cancel the reservation—why? Because it's a horrible place! There are lots of motorcycles rushing by, dirt everywhere... Inside, there are a lot of stairs to climb just to get in. The place smells like mold. And the breakfast? Old bread, cold coffee... You're even required to make your own bed and strip it when you check out. Really? Do they expect guests to clean the floors too? Avoid this place! And it's expensive on top of everything! There...

The hostel is past the entrance of a favela, so if you arrive late don’t expect your uber driver to take you up there. My driver made me get out and walk the last bit at 11:30 pm with all my stuff. Upon check-in the front desk worker “forgot about me,” and I stood around waiting for 10 minutes while they had a conversation with someone else. They also don’t tell you this anywhere high on their website but will expect a 10 Real deposit to get your key (and air con remote if you have a pri...

el hostel es muy hermoso y el staff siempre te recibe con mucha amabilidad, emilia es una recepcionista muy carismatica

Todo estuvo de diez. El lugar muy lindo, súper limpio y el ambiente es de lo mejor. Realmente se nota el cuidado en los detalles. ¡Súper recomendado!

Lorenza, Andrea, and Amelia were incredible!! Made me feel at home, the hostel with clean and the vibes were great!

É hostel dos mais bem procurados da região com uma estrutura e organização, muito completo. Fica em uma rua tranquila de Copacabana de fácil acesso. A limpeza, o atendimento e o ambiente seguro deixa o ambiente mais leve pra quem busca um ambiente acolhedor. Tem bar, jogos, áreas sociais e costuma organizar passeios e integração entre hóspedes todos os dias.

Adorei a estadia, fui muito bem recebida, as aulas de dança são muito divertidas. Emília, Paloma, Malena, Matt, Andrea e Fábio compõem os melhores staff e voluntários do hostel. são incríveis ❤️

Loved my stay at Pura Vida, it was the second time I returned. You make friends easily and they host activities every evening. Strongly recommend going to their dance classes! Staff is fantastic, Emilia especially at the reception was incredibly welcoming and willing to help with any question. Overall a great stay that is highly recommended!

Hostel is nice and located perfectly for anything happening on Copacablanca beach - really easy to walk back from shakira concert. Leticia was super helpful booking tours and transfer to Ilha grande for me and in general all the staff were really nice

la ubicación es buena cerca de la playa de Copacabana,hay mucho comercio lo malo es que al llegar al lugar el Uber no te deja en la puerta porque no pueden subir ya que está a una falavela pero no es mucho lo que te toca subir es una subida y el timbre para que te habrán la puerta deberían hacerlo más abajo porque como dos compañeras son bajitas y no alcanzan, las habitacion de las más es bueno pero es muy estrecho de una cama de la otra. el ambiente muy buena integración

The location is horrible the road is felt really uncomfortable passing through however the atmosphere is excellent I enjoyed meeting new people. The staff was rude in my experience. Overall I would recommend to check other hostels

Espectacular, la pasé genial, la gente y el Stak muy buenas personas, hay planes que hacer y muchos lugares cerca para visitar….. pienso volver ha Río de Janeiro y por supuesto pienso volver a hospedarme aquí.

Buen spot si viajas solo en Río. El staff es súper amable, sobretodo el excelente y cálido trato de Mateo, 10/10 estrellas para él. El ambiente es muy social, literal haces amigos fácil sin esfuerzo. Me hicieron upgrade de habitación y fue lo mejor que me pasó. Además, desayunar aquí es práctico y barato, lo cual suma bastante si quieres moverte sin complicarte. En general, buena vibra y fácil para conectar con gente. Volvería.

El hostal está en una de las mejores locaciones a solamente 2 cuadras de Copacabana, cuenta con todo lo necesario, es muy fácil convivir y conocer nueva gente por todas las actividades que se tienen todos los días, clases de baile, tours gratis o incluso workshops de caipirinhas, muy recomendado si quieren tener una experiencia real de Rio

we had a lot of fun. hostel was clean and there were lots of organized activities. walking distance to beach.

Had a great stay in Pura Vida. Very warm and welcoming staff with Leticia in particular. She was extremely friendly and helpful 🫶

O lugar é fantástico e super confortável! Adorei toda a equipe e atividades do hostel. O quarto era incrível, muito limpo e espaçoso. Um bom refúgio para descanso após aproveitar o Rio

La pase increíble, el lugar esta cerca de la playa y centro. El personal muy atentos en todo lo que necesitaba y para hacerme sentir como en casa. Habitaciones cómodas y limpias. Hay actividades por la noche para que los huéspedes se conozcan entre todos lo cual hace que sea mas fácil hacerse amigos en especial si viajas solo. Sin dudas volveria

Un buen personal sobre todo mi amiga Lari y Sofía , un buen personal y muy alegres y amigables

I loved my stay at Pura Vida!!!! Such a nice room, and amazing staff! Mariana from the reception did such a good job

Tuve una muuy linda experiencia en el hostal Pura Vida! El equipo es muy amable, cercano y siempre me hicieron sentir cómoda. Lamentablemente tuve que dejar mi voluntariado antes de tiempo por cambios en mis planes... pero me voy muy agradecida de todo el personal ✨ Es un lugar ideal para conocer gente y compartir en un ambiente agradable. Lo recomiendo 😁✨

Good atmosphere and facilities, plenty of great activities to join. Would reccomend
