I stayed at Bamboo Rio back in June and had a great experience. If you're looking for a private room in either Copacabana or Ipanema, this had the best rate we could find! The location is great, close to the metro and bus stops, and a nice walk to either beach... but warning: most cab drivers don't know the street... More

This hostel was recommended by a friend and indeed the atmosphere was nice and friendly. The staff was helpful with tips about the city etc. There was also a free welcome caipirinha! The location was good - very close to Copacabana beach. In the first room in which i stayed, i could not sleep because the fan was right above... More

This place is a short walk to the beach and had easy access to all forms of transport. Was not far to the main attractions and the staff were more than happy to help in anyway possible. This was the best Hostel I stayed in in Brazil. More

A nice overall place but not for everyone. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't want to party or hate noise. We had fun, but the guests tended to be quite young (average age was 19-23 I'd say) and there were people staying up drinking well past midnight and talking loud everynight. But if that's your thing, you should have... More

There's a bar, and a small swimming pool and it's next Copacabana's beach. Quiet street. The bathrooms are clean. Internet for free, wireless or not. :) There are rooms just for girls and mixed rooms. Also, double rooms. Very nice staff, they are all my friends now. Everytime I go to Rio I stay at this hostel.

Bus stops are near the property and the underground is close as well. We booked a private room and it was clean, new, with tv and air conditioned. The second time we went there... More
