People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before travelling for more information. ### Property is also known as Selina Rio Hotel Rio de Janeiro Selina Rio Hotel Selina Rio Rio de Janeiro Selina Lapa Rio Janeiro Hotel Selina Lapa Rio Janeiro Selina Lapa Rio Janeiro Hotel Selina Lapa Rio Janeiro Hotel Selina Lapa Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro Selina Lapa Rio de Janeiro Hotel Hotel Selina Lapa Rio de Janeiro Selina Lapa Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro Selina Rio Selina Hotel Selina ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Socialtel Rio Lapa pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Socialtel Rio Lapa? ### What time is check-in at Socialtel Rio Lapa? ### What time is check-out at Socialtel Rio Lapa? ### Where is Socialtel Rio Lapa located? ### Can I cancel my reservation for free and receive a full refund? ## Have a question?

The breakfast was well prepared and healthy. The surroundings are quite noisy - we were unlucky to stay for the weekend, and had to listen to a night disco during the whole night. ##### Sofya Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Montez 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Enjoyed my stay. The staff is really helpful and makes you feel at home.

Right off the main road, minutes from the the popular Selaron steps & walking distance from the Metropolitan Cathedral and other great attractions. Staff: Helpful, fun and English-speaking. Room: just as pictured. Clean, working AC & clean air Vibe: Picturesque the roof top was a great night vibe - order a Caipirinha and just chill. Or have dinner before heading up to your room. ![Street vendors right outside the entrance](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f9bc8eb0-7a4e-46b3-ab6b-339d6b707ab7-1762518408853.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ronee Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dennis 2 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fun place to be with; the food being served is excellent. Staff are always friendly and accomodating ##### Dennis Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corinne 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities One of the best hostels! The dining options were great, the room clean, guard on duty (it's Brazil....). Pretty building. I was able to walk everywhere I needed to go. ##### Corinne Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melinda 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff are wonderfully helpful (and speak English!). They accommodated an early check in for us and allowed us to store our bags after check out due to a late departing flight. Definitely recommend! ##### Melinda Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Souleymane 18 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Really enjoyed my time at Selina hostel ! This is my second time to come back there as they are so friendly , clean , clients oriented and very welcoming team ! I highly recommend it ! And already coming back next Monday again . ##### Souleymane Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis E 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked that the staff was very accommodating and it was easy to find but I didn't like that YOU HAD TO LABEL FOOD OR DRINKS OR THEY GET THROWN OUT! ##### Dennis E Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service Window in our room wouldn't close, reception sent maintenance up promptly but it wasn't fixable. Also the tap in the shower had been spun out from the wall so wouldn't work, but we screwed back on ourselves once we figured it out. Mattress needed replacing or cleaning. Good location next to the selaron steps, markets and Lapa for food and bars. Breakfast had a nice selection. Rooftop bar was an added bonus. Quiet inside the hotel. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Holly 2 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location & nice staff The staff were super lovely and the property is in a good location. The rooms are nice but I think we were just a bit unfortunate to get one without a working extractor fan which made the room a bit damp and smelly... we did let them know but we were only there for a short time! Wifi was good Kitchen could do with a few more spoons! ##### Holly Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar 2 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s a awesome hotel they have a kitchen so you can cook and save money a library my room didn’t have hot water but maybe that’s normal in Brazil the area is kinda scary to walk around at night but in the day time is pretty safe ##### Oscar Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Leonard 10 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My wife and son enjoyed their stay even though their room did not have a tv. I cant remember if I saw that it would be so that is on me. All that matters is they enjoyed their stay. ##### Leonard Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mr peter 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Good location for Centro. Check-in stuff great. Rooms are fine. It’s really a young persons hotel. Very loud until 10pm, DJs etc. Breakfast chaotic and not great, which is an exceptional for Brazil. That said, good value for money. ##### Mr peter Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### STEPHEN 20 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is located in the tourist area of Lapa in a good way. Is best to get ESIMS before you get there so you can enjoy your touring with UBER because they are always around the hotel and saves you lots of of heartache due to language barrier. The Rooftop bar is also convienently on top of the hotel. I did not experience much noise either. ##### STEPHEN Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Akanke 13 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness I like the room. It was thoughtfully decorated and very clean. I didn’t find the staff very helpful or pleasant. It was like I was bothering them whenever I’d ask for information. It was the other guests who helped me when needed. The kitchen only had 2 spoons, no bowls, and 2 cups. I think it’s important to let people know that the Lapa area, at least near the hotel, has a lot of homelessness and people addicted to substances. I think having a Welcome Session to inform guests about the property, location, and public transportation options would be very helpful. ##### Akanke Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was an amazing stay, I enjoyed it very much! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### manuela 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved the bohemian look. Rooftop bar was a plus since I don’t know the area. Restaurant connected to hotel was a plus great food. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f2139769-fe52-4b91-aeed-2e7b2c85f340-1752786597394.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/afca0068-1d87-4b4f-a1f4-42edf9c0ec3f-1752786586701.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fea58abc-6f00-408b-b7e2-6452dffb280f-1752786597809.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/def25452-c1f5-4f7c-807a-fe97def0f325-1752786596780.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### manuela Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### José 30 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel fabuloso ##### José Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katarzyna 30 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location in the vibrant Lapa neighbourhood ##### Katarzyna Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### IKER ELI 6 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice and clean, convenient location near Lapa ##### IKER ELI ### 10/10 Excellent #### Urssulla 13 May 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Loved the stay and the party at the rooftop. ##### Urssulla Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### IKER ELI 6 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good, Selina have different options for your budget, you can find hostel shared rooms or individual rooms at a very affordable rate.
