Nice place, amazing staff
Nice atmosphere, mostly because of the host Julio. Besides that he was always helpfull and gave us perfect directions where to start in Santa Theresa for example.
The beds are quite hard. But thats personal

Nice hostel
Julio is great. We enjoyed the time there. The bed was cheap and everything was cleaned. The rooms have aircondition.
The common areas could be better.

My stay at Opa Hostel truly felt like home!!
From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed with real care and warmth. Julio, the manager, is absolutely excellent — attentive, present, and genuinely invested in making sure every guest feels comfortable and looked after. Pedro at the front desk and guest relations is equally wonderful: incredibly kind, social, and always ready to help with a smile. What really makes this place special is the people. Every member of the team does their absolute best to host guests with love, attention, and care, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a family than a hostel. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Rio and would 100% stay here again!!

Overall it’s better than it could be. Hopefully the travelers just more considerate and clean!
The location is great, many restaurants and supermarkets around. The bus stops and the metro right next corner. The hostel is big and spacious, the room with 8 beds had enough of light, space and I am happy that the toilets and showers are separate from the room. Very close though so quite comfy. The toilet and the shower cabins were clean, the 2 sinks separated as well which makes it comfortable to use, like in the public toilets you know. The kitchen is a plus and having an access to filtered water too.
1. The staff was nice but during my check in the guy took forever to receive a basic payment and he tried to charge me for anything. Asked whether I need a blanket, I was like well if you have one yes, so he wanted to charge me 20 reales more, I was like okay no thanks (they provide a basic thing sheet otherwise), then while trying to pay I saw that the price was more again, so I was like whats this time?! He said for the towel! I never asked one even! After 30 min of checking me in he finally took me to the room. No help with my bag at all. Not even a simple question do you need a help?! Other stuff seem more engaging and able to speak English or Spanish the next day though. 2. The kitchen was quite dirty at the evenings, mornings the stuff clean it though. Would be good if they do it more often, considering how much you pay for the hostel. 3. The lockers under the beds are metal ones so they are super loud and not convenient at all! 4. The beds are hard, the pillows are okay though.

Love the vibes. I stayed there for a month or so.
The spaces are always clean which is amazing. The kitchen had a good stock of good pans and dishes. Needs a wine opener tho lol. Also they have a nice guest policy. It feels like it makes it more social and open. I loved all the volunteers half of the reason I stayed so long.
Mosquitos and no curtains on the bed. Also the bedroom AC smells like mold. How the price always changes on line. It gives me anxiety. But the price always drops the same day of booking to its normal price. But still I stayed there a long time and was having to show the staff almost every extension that the price dropped and not to overcharge me.

Great place to spend a couple of nights in Botafogo. I'll be back!
Great location in lively neighbourhood. Staff was friendly and helpful. New hostel with good beds and showers. Good layout.
