"Nicole was absolutely amazing. Her customer service truly made my stay warm, attentive, and always willing to help. I stayed in a private junior room, and I’ll be honest: it was the tiniest room I’ve ever seen. Definitely not enough space for two people, so if you want comfort or space, this isn’t the spot for that. Also, the elevator only goes up to the 4th floor, and my room was on the 6th thankfully Nicole helped me carry my bags upstairs, which I appreciated more than they know. What really stands out here are the activities. They were amazing super social, well organized, and they keep you engaged the whole time. You literally don’t get time to be bored. If you enjoy meeting people, this place is perfect. My breakfast was included, and it was okay nothing special but good enough to start the day. Despite the tiny room, the hostel vibe, the location, and especially the staff + activities made my stay great value for the price. You’re paying for the area and the experience, not a luxury room."

"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!"
