Fairly clean, 5/10 minutes walk to Copacobana beach, Really nice staff, Good common areas. Rooms a bit cramped (3 high bunk beds) & not many bathrooms. Ok breakfast, a bit stingy though. Would recommend & stay again. More

I stayed in Walk on The Beach in March and April. The location is good, 10 min walk from the Beach and 5 min from the main street in Copacabana. Hostel is really clean and almost every dorm has enough space. They offer trips everyday and entertainment in the evening, the bar is open till midnight. The staff is very... More

The staff are friendly.Thanks a lot for letting my friends sleep in the corner room in the morning before we check in, as they flew the red-eye flight. The tours organized every night and travel tips on the kitchen board are great. The breakfast included is simple and good. There is only one fan in the 3-person rooms downstairs, so... More

Stayed here for Carnaval and was really disappointed. For the price that was paid I didn't think a very good service was provided. The rooms are tiny with three tier bunk beds, some of the staff are really rude and unhelpful, the night watchman chases couples round the hostel at night telling them they're not allowed be together cause they're...

We loved our time here. What makes this hostel so special is the absolutely incredible staff- they really go out of their way to make sure that the guests are getting the experience they want out of Rio de Janeiro. We felt very well taken care of. We will be back! Walk On The Beach is a small hostel in... More

Only stayed here for one night before catching an early morning flight. From what I saw it was a very good hostel. Staff were helpful and the rooms were clean. The room was quite cramped with bunk beds three high. The room was well ventilated though. There was a nice kitchen, bar and common area. More

Stayed here for three nights. First we stayed in the downstairs 6-bed dorm - I would avoid this room as it is very cramped and no fresh air. The upstairs dorms are much better. The staff here all speak excellent english (as well as danish, german and portugese) and are friendly. They don't arrange for transport from the airport though... More

This hostel is located only a few minutes walking from the Copacabana beach and also a walking distance from Ipanema. It's a really safe neighborhood with friendly people. Especially the people in the hostel are great, also the crew. The owners are a girl from Rio and a guy from Denmark and they do everything to make your stay as... More
