I enjoyed my stay here very much. All the staff are very helpful and great at their job. There are so many activities planned by the hostel and if you wish not to do any, staff are more than willing to provide suggestions. The WhatsApp group was super helpful to keep up with activities. The room had everything I needed and it was so close to so many shops and the beach. I would recommend staying at El Misti especially if you’re a solo travel.

We had a great stay at El Misti. Our room was small but very nice, clean, comfortable with bathroom ensuite. The hostel is centrally located with lots of dining, shopping options all around and 1 block from the beach. Perfect location ! The bar had vegetarian options that were delicious. It's a party Hostel. Very fun and stimulating. Not a zen one if you're searching for calm relax stay.

My stay at El Misti was superb!! I stayed in a private room during 7-13 November. It was my first time in Rio, and this was the perfect place to meet people!! They organise lots of events, and having easy access to the beach with a ticket for a free chair is an addes bonus! I can definitely recommend El Misti to others, and will likely stay here (or at least visit the amazing bar during happy hour!!) when I return, muito obrigado El Misti!! Tom

The property is in a great location. One block away from the beach. It was really safe. I was a solo traveller and walked around comfortably. The rooms were super clean and well taken care of. There are a lot restaurants, shops, and places for nightlife around the area. It was so easy to meet new people and the hostel has so many activities and also tours that you can book directly from them. The check-in process was super easy and there is a WhatsApp group to keep up to date with activities or get into contact with other travellers staying there. The real MVP here are the staff and volunteers that work very hard, are super outgoing and friendly, and that make sure you’re well taken care of. I found my home away from home. Shout out to Marcela, Rodrigo, Eduardo, Cristal, Eric, Juanjo, Cristal, Jordana, Tiago, Gabriel, Maude, Laura, Youss, and everyone else on the team. You guys have an amazing team. I hope that when I visit again, you’re all still there. I will always welcome seeing your friendly faces.

My wife stayed here for her stay in Rio de Janeiro. She liked the place, but she thought it wasn’t her style. It seemed like a bunch of young people trying to hook up. The staff was trying to charge my wife extra money being that she’s Brazilian and I’m American. I had paid with my card with US dollars, they were saying that she owed the place 65 reals when I had already paid everything in full. I’m not sure if they try to do this with all foreigners, but that’s what happened. The positives are that it’s very close to the beach and you get a free caipirinha for checking in. Another cool thing is that if you don’t have plans for the day they put you into a group that’s constantly putting out events that you can sign up for. But beware my friends they will charge extra because you’re a foreigner and take you to places that are more expensive. All in all she liked it, but it wasn’t her style.

I had a great stay at El Misti Hostel Ipanema. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the beach, with plenty of places nearby to rent chairs, grab food, have drinks, or shop. The hostel itself has security at all times, which made me feel safe during my stay. It also has a very social atmosphere, so it’s super easy to meet new people. One thing that really stood out was how clean everything was. The cleaners come in twice a day to tidy the rooms and bathrooms, so the space is always fresh and well maintained. The reception staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it can get quite loud late at night since the street outside stays busy, and the windows are a bit thin—so definitely bring earplugs. It’s also a bit more expensive than some other hostels, but honestly, the comfort, cleanliness, and convenience make it worth the price. Overall, highly recommended!

Pros: Amazing staff at this property! Very friendly and always up for some fun! Also they all speak some level of English which was nice. It’s more of a party hostel than a chill and work hostel. Also they have a bar and restaurant attached to the property which is convenient. The area is awesome. Ipanema seems to attract young and friendly folks from all over. Cons: the shower had zero water pressure, the restaurant isn’t always open and some of the other guests don’t respect specific quiet time which they have posted outside the rooms. All in all I would DEFINITELY come back for a party or two.
