A good hostel, well-located a short 5 minute walk from Plaza de Armas. Helpful, friendly, respectful staff. Very clean. They offer the choice of breakfast or dinner (both if you have a private room which are good value) although the dinner can be hit and miss Not a noisy party place, but a good place to meet other travellers. Recommended.

Mambembe Hostel, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilien
10.0
9 maj 2017

Not a place for the youthful party crowd (you won't hear any ubiquitous pop music here; more likely to get Edith Piaf) Mambembe just might be the coolest, best hostel you'll come across. Away from the beach scene, Santa Teresa is a laid-back neighbourhood with atmosphere, close to downtown Rio, and Mambembe is perfectly located within it. An artistic touch, a fantastic, airy house with great light, good facilities and mature, knowledgeable and helpful staff; hostelling doesn't get much better.

Over-rated by Lonely Planet, this hostel is average at best. It's at the swanky hotel end of Copacabana, so the street atmosphere is lacking. Floors weren't clean. Staff aren't knowledgeable enough about public transport (important in Rio) or even where a post office is, WiFi only works in common areas, which are dull. There's a sensible night noise policy which isn't enforced (loud people at 3am both nights), and breakfast is not included (extra 15R).

The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was good. However, travellers should note that if you book the private accommodation with ensuite (the apartment) you'll be three blocks away from the hostel itself, in a bland serviced block with no travel atmosphere at all. It's basically a cheap hotel room without holiday atmosphere. You get a TV, a bathroom to yourself and soap and towels. But, you're on your own. Nice if you're looking for a break from the hostel scene, I suppose.

This is a small, intimate hostel with a real home-away-from-home feel. It is owner-operated and the few staff members are exceptionally friendly and helpful and care about the place and the quality of the guests' experience. I stayed in a private room for three nights which was simple and comfortable; I can't comment on the dorms. It's in a quiet part of town but within an easy walk of food and night-life. Breakfast is ok but limited. Definitely a place worth staying at.

Good hostel in a great, central location. Friendly, helpful staff. Good wi fi. Bathrooms aren't great, but rest is good. I had a private room which was good value. Dorms looked good.

This is a very, very good hostel. Beautifully kept, professional cleaning staff (who make your bed daily), wonderful staff and facilities and in a great location. Its one flaw is the noise from reception and the social area carries all the way through the hostel, and some staff just must play music too loud coming onto midnight, with no guests around and no need, really. Otherwise, a great hostel that will enhance your enjoyment of a great city.

Thank you very much for all those great comments! We will keep in mind your music advice, we normally try to keep it lively during weekends but we always turn it off by midnight

Staff were friendly. They had little English, so it helps to have some Spanish here. Good lockers, fair bathrooms, clean enough. Wi-fi was hopeless and I had to go to an outside cafe to get online to book my next travels. Location is right in the most central part of town; great for access, not so great for noise.

Staff were excellent; helpful, informed, pleasant. This is a good hostel, and not a party place. I had a private room which was secure and roomy, but smelled of dampness. Good wi-fi. Major downside is location; it's 20 mins walk from anything a tourist wants to do. But, metro is close-ish and it is great to use in Santiago; efficient, goes everywhere and, best of all, you can get a single trip ticket very cheaply.

Very good hostel. Excellent, helpful, knowledgeable, respectful staff there for the guests and not themselves. I had a private room which was safe and roomy but musty. Not a polished place but clean enough. Good, genuine traveller's vibe, not a party joint. One downside is location; 20 minutes walk from most tourist action.

A quiet place with helpful, friendly owners. It's very small; I was the only guest and it might only have two rooms. Might be a tad over-priced, but it was safe and very comfortable.

This place is LOUD! It's right in the middle of a nightclub area, so you get doof-doof all night long, very clear into the hostel (along with the raucous laughter and shouting of revellers). The hostel itself has a bar and it also had loud electronic music pumping Into the night. All this was on a mid-week Wednesday,Definitely the place for those who have what it takes to party until dawn. Those looking for a traveller's sanctuary should look elsewhere.

Very helpful and friendly staff in this ideally located, neat backpackers. Plenty of interesting people and fellow travellers, but not a silly party spot. I stayed in a twin room, which was tidy and central to all facilities, but small.

Excellent room size and clean. Bed was average at best. Breakfast were excellent, dinners not bad. Staff polite without being friendly, and not keen to be helpful (e.g. I needed to use the internet urgently to print a flight booking, but they wouldn't help and instead sent me out to look for a library.) Staff don't operate like its a tourist place, so not informative about the area or helpful in that way.
