Beautiful building and location. Friendly stuff and lots of people. Good place to Relax away from Rio chaos for a few days, but a long way to the beach. Pool and the yard is beautiful as well

Best hostel in Rio!! It feels like being in the middle of the jungle. The staff is very attentive, the vibe is super friendly with lots of events and an active WhatsApp group, and there are tons of common areas to chill in. Amazing view over the Christ. The breakfast is especially generous, and it’s so nice to eat outside with the monkeys and birds!! I can only recommend this hostel — I could have stayed for two weeks!!

Good location, great to meet new people, amazing staff and nice view.
Bunk beds not good if you have mobility issues. Wish the bathrooms were attached to rooms. And wish they had personalized cupboard space for each person in the room.

This is the best hostel I've been in. The vibe is amazing, they really care for the guests, and plan activities so everyone shares time together. The breakfast is amazing. The location is very good, in the heart of Santa Teresa with restaurants and many things to to around, but also easily reaching the center, beaches and other parts of the city with Uber. The rooms are ok, and I saw cleaning staff every day. If I come back to Rio, I will definitely stay here again (and I have already recommended it to my friends and family)
Nothing! I would suggest sharing the link of the WhatsApp group as soon as people book through booking, as it's where the opportunities are shared (e.g. I would have loved to go to the match Flamingo vs Palmeiras, but when I joined it, it was too late!)

The property was in a good location with all the facilities great and clean. The area around the hostel is the best we have stayed at giving a very authentic Brazilian experience unlike Ipanema and Copacabana. The staff were friendly and very welcoming to everyone with them helping whenever possible if any problem arose. We thank Castelo for the great hospitality and experience with making our Rio trip 10/10.
Nothing bad to say about the place best hostel I have stayed at.

The property is amazing, first it seems like a maze but after the first day you’re used to it. Enough space for drinks at night or a relaxed stay at the pool during the day.

I received a warm welcome and was impressed by the castle's beauty! Every room is very clean, and my bed has curtains, a fan, and a nice lamp. There are plenty of leisure options, including a large pool, an incredible breakfast, and a barbecue on Sundays. I highly recommend this stay, as it's very close to downtown and offers easy access to Rio de Janeiro's beautiful beaches
everything was incredible, I thank everyone who welcomed me and the good friendships there.

The staff always very helpful, whenever I had issues or questions on things to do in Rio or how the breakfast works etc always at my disposal. Also the facilities lots of rooms to relax as well as very nice outdoor area where you can chill on the benches and chairs around the pool or table.
Nothing major to declare.

The best hostel experience ever! Nice and clean house, friendly staff, good breakfast and excellent location with the view. The hostel provides a place to work as well. Highly recommended, especially if you are in Rio for the first time. You will definitely enjoy the area where the house is situated.

I loved staying here - it is unreal how beautiful it is and i literally can't wait for the day i'll stay at this beautiful place again! Everyone is so friendly and the building is like from a movie! It was nice and quiet and everyone there was so lovely. Nothing can really sum up how amazing it was staying there after a lot of other places in rio! This place is a safe haven and i would, will and am recommending it to everyone i'm meeting here in Rio! Thank you to Saul and the amazing team. I'll see you very soon!

My first time in Rio could not have been any better, thanks to this amazing hotel. As someone seeking both adventure and tranquility, I found the perfect balance here. Nestled in nature, the hotel offered a serene escape from the bustling city, allowing me to discover Rio in the calmest and most peaceful way possible. The staff treated me like family, always welcoming and ready to assist with anything I needed. The grand pool was just the cherry on top of this delightful experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Rio in a secure and serene environment.

Coup de cœur pour cet hostel !! Le lieu est incroyable, et la piscine fait la différence au vue du quartier (20 min des plages). On y rencontre facilement du monde pour découvrir Rio. Et merci aux équipes, malgré le turn over incessant, les volontaires se montrent impliqués et bienveillant. Merci Lennon pour ta disponibilité et tes conseils 🇧🇷🫶🏼

Café da manhã excelente. Lennon nos recebeu com muita cordialidade, mostrou-nos todas as instalações e estava sempre disponível para recomendar restaurantes, festas, etc. Ele preparou um churrasco delicioso para nós no domingo! Muito obrigada, Lennon!!
A limpeza deixou a desejar, embora devamos admitir que a opção de solicitar que viessem limpar para nós estava disponível (para uma estadia superior a dois dias) e não a utilizamos.

O que mais gostei foi a área da piscina que é lindíssima. O castelo também é super organizado e limpo. A cama que fiquei (beliche de baixo) tinha um espelho maravilhoso e uma luminária perfeita pra se maquiar sem precisar sair da cama 😍
Pagamento somente via pix ou em espécie. Cheguei as 17 hs e minha cama não estava pronta, sendo que o horário de check-in informado no booking é 14 hs. Aos domingos sempre oferecem churrasco para os hóspedes e na minha estadia não teve. Falaram que era por causa do.clima chuvoso, mas nem choveu nem teve churrasco.

Posto sudicio. Siamo arrivati alle 15:30 e, sebbene il check in fosse alle 14, nella stanza c'era ancora l'ospite precedente. La stanza è stata consegnata alle 16:15 ma nonostante ci avessero detto che erano state fatte le pulizie, abbiamo trovato le lenzuola sporche di macchie che sembravano fluidi seminali, peli e altri tessuti. Anche le pareti erano sporche di macchie gialle. Siamo andati via alla ricerca di un altro alloggio perdendo tempo prezioso per la nostra ultima notte a Rio. Terribile.
