I had a great stay at El Misti Hostel Ipanema. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the beach, with plenty of places nearby to rent chairs, grab food, have drinks, or shop. The hostel itself has security at all times, which made me feel safe during my stay. It also has a very social atmosphere, so it’s super easy to meet new people. One thing that really stood out was how clean everything was. The cleaners come in twice a day to tidy the rooms and bathrooms, so the space is always fresh and well maintained. The reception staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it can get quite loud late at night since the street outside stays busy, and the windows are a bit thin—so definitely bring earplugs. It’s also a bit more expensive than some other hostels, but honestly, the comfort, cleanliness, and convenience make it worth the price. Overall, highly recommended!

We had a great stay at El Misti. Our room was small but very nice, clean, comfortable with bathroom ensuite. The hostel is centrally located with lots of dining, shopping options all around and 1 block from the beach. Perfect location ! The bar had vegetarian options that were delicious. It's a party Hostel. Very fun and stimulating. Not a zen one if you're searching for calm relax stay.

My stay at El Misti was superb!! I stayed in a private room during 7-13 November. It was my first time in Rio, and this was the perfect place to meet people!! They organise lots of events, and having easy access to the beach with a ticket for a free chair is an addes bonus! I can definitely recommend El Misti to others, and will likely stay here (or at least visit the amazing bar during happy hour!!) when I return, muito obrigado El Misti!! Tom

Pros: Amazing staff at this property! Very friendly and always up for some fun! Also they all speak some level of English which was nice. It’s more of a party hostel than a chill and work hostel. Also they have a bar and restaurant attached to the property which is convenient. The area is awesome. Ipanema seems to attract young and friendly folks from all over. Cons: the shower had zero water pressure, the restaurant isn’t always open and some of the other guests don’t respect specific quiet time which they have posted outside the rooms. All in all I would DEFINITELY come back for a party or two.

Good location, clean with reasonable price.

Overall, stay was good. The hostel is easy to find, a few minutes away from Ipanema beach. It is near to a lot of shops, restaurants and a market. There were cleaning ladies almost everyday yo clean the room. I liked the big drawers under the bed that can actually fit a check-in size luggage of 23kg, and you can lock it. The only downside is that the all-female room is next to the street so expect noise from vehicles and people who party all night. Also, there is no switch for the AC and you have to call reception to turn it on which is annoying because it gets really hot and humid in the middle of the night.

not what we understood when we booked

This listing is misleading because it said private bathroom. There was nothing about the listing that said it was one set of bunk beds in a room of lots of bunk beds. Please know that you may book thinking you have your own private room and bathroom, even though it says "private bathroom," but really it is private for 12 people/12 bunk beds. We needed a quick shower post-beach and before our flight, and there was a dude in the bathroom. Also, there are no towels. And you have to keep pushing the water on and there is only one temperature...it times out. Good for the environment for sure. Staff was pretty snarky and unhelpful. Make sure you have a lot of time on your hands. The lady at the counter said someone would show us our room after she helped a bunch of people...we didn't have this kind of time to wait around...especially since we would shortly discover there was someone in our "private" bathroom already using the shower.
