Hostels in Rio de Janeiro - Prices and Reviews

Day 99 Friday 10th April - Rio de Janeiro Woke up and had breakfast on the outside terrace. The was a cereal and cake and a selection of ham and cheese that you could stuff into a piece of French stick. As well as tea and coffee or juice. I just had some bread ham and cheese to put something solid into my stomach for the morning. Soon after I ha...

haha but not really went out last night to a famous part for clubs and **** and basically the street is filled with thousands of people and you dont have to go to and clubs. its just an amazing place, you buy drinks off street vendors and its awesome. so i went to get my drink, the guy poured it and i put my change in my wallet. gripping my wall...

Sunday afternoon, the road by the beach is close for the beach patrons, no motorized vehicles are allowed to ply along the avenue. While walking along the Ipanema Beach, we spotted a street dancing. The brown sugary beach sand is covered by people and umbrellas and beach blankets.

We left the hotel after one night and a great breakfast full of fruit and fresh juice (something we will get used to eating a lot of in Brazil). It was my birthday today, my 30th, and so for my birthday I decided I didn´t want to move around for a few days. The day before we saw some people hawking apts for rent,so we decided to see if it was a ...

Had brekky this morning and there were two cops with flak jackets and big guns on them. Apparently they are extremely well paid and are on constant partol on our street so they occasionally come to the Hostel for breakfast. Sounds like a good deal to me!! A few of us went to the Christ the Redeemer statue this morning. It was pretty awesome and ...

Well, nearly one month after landing in Rio for the first time I'm back again! Arrived Wednesday morning from Salvador and spend a relaxing day at the beach. Yesterday I took part in one of those Favela tours that the hostel organizes. At first I did not think it was appropriate to go as a wealthy european tourist and take pictures of the poor b...

Alex: We landed in Rio at about 12 midnight and the whole city seemed to be against us. The only bank that would accept Visa wasn´t working so we couldn´t get any local currency (luckily we keep a few US dollars for these situations), we then lost more time than we thought (2 hours not 1) so the last bus to Ipanema was long gone, our taxi driver...

Our 36 hour bus journey to Rio from Montevideo was nothing short of hellish. For a start we were on the last 2 seats which of course were next to the toilets and the coffee machine. It is funny, you think you know all the ways that you can get annoyed but we were constantly being surprised when this journey dreamt up things we had never even con...

Ran 4.57 miles in the morning. Joe Godfrey got into town and we met him at the Leblon Sheraton where he was staying. It is very loosely considered Leblon as it right next to a large favela. Joe was with Jess, one of his friends from Harvard Business School. Mariana's mom invited them to have lunch at her house even though she would not be there....
