Everything about this place is amazing. The rooms, the people, the workers, the atmosphere. Everyone is super friendly. I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Brazil. The breakfast was healthy and they offer treats and coffee 24 hours a day. Free wifi

By far, the best hostel I have stayed in Rio and definitely one the best I have ever stayed at! Very clean, organized, and peaceful - nice patio upstairs and lots of trees and birds. Also great service, everyone who worked there was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and bed linen way above the average for hostels. The only problem... More

A quiet, clean, lovely space is created by the delightful staff at the Bossa. We stayed in 3 different rooms that were all lovely, but I must say the supreme suite was very welcoming. The view sings and the beds promote dreams. We actually had some bad news while staying at the Bossa but the staff and the atmosphere softened... More

The hostel is located up the hill leading away from Lapa; Rio's prime nightlife area. There are loads of restaurants, bars and clubs that run all the way along the main road in Lapa. Once you ascend the many steps up to the hostel's front door, you are afforded a great view of Rio which is also enjoyed by many... More
