Mambembe Hostel

Welcoming and meeting of new people from different countries. Nothing

The breakfast was delicious, It was really enjoyable to stay at the hostel Nothing

The common areas are well-arranged for both socializing and relaxing. The atmosphere is friendly but not overly crowded or uncontrolled; a balanced social environment is created with travelers from different countries. This makes it possible to meet new people and relax at the same time. I would also like to especially thank Ahmed and Andreas. Their helpfulness, friendliness, and suggestions about the city made my stay even more meaningful. They supported me in every way I needed and I truly felt welcome. It's a place I would wholeheartedly choose again if I return to Rio.

love the place. good vibes

Pleasant

I stayed in a private room at Mambembe for two nights. Unfortunately for the price, I can’t recommend it. The hostel has a good vibe, but it is in need of a lot of improvement. For example, my bed sheets had holes in them, and the windows in the air conditioned room are just wooden slats, so the mosquitos get in easily, and the air conditioning goes straight outside. The hostel is surrounded by homes with multiple dogs that bark all through the day and night.

it’s a beautiful building in a fantastic location and retains a type of calm that’s very difficult to find in Rio. This place felt like a second home to me for a few weeks, I will definitely be coming back. A special shout out to Andres who made me feel so welcome and who’s amazing energy is infectious!

The hostel is on a bit of a hill but was not too bad. Also, it is good to inform guests when booking that the different bunk levels have different rates.. It is not just first come, first serve. The bottom level has a higher cost and middle level medium rate, and top level 3rd bunk is the cheapest. Upon arrival, i was told that my booking was for the 3rd level. So I paid a little extra (5 Reals extra per night) for the middle bunk.

Amazing people, for amazing hostel. The best in Rio, thank you

Exceptional

Beautiful setting, lots of little balconies with hammocks to chill. English level of staff could be better and more soap in the bathrooms, but both not big issues

A lot of common areas to hangout with other travelers The mattress was covered with impermeable material so that it was uncomfortable to sleep on it

Highly recommended! The best hostel I've been so far! The position is really good, only 5min away to the famous Escadaria Selaròn and really close to the Lapa neighborhood. The hostel itself is very clean. The kitchen and bathrooms get cleaned everyday and the sheets provided are immaculate and smell really good. The best thing is the garden and generally speaking the common areas. Everyone here is really friendly and the staff courtesy is yet to be found in other places. They will do anything to make you comfortable and accomodate your needs. Special thanks go to Andres, thank you for having made me feel like at home❤️ The only downside, if we can define it like that, is the limited choice for breakfast. It gets kind of repetitive after a few days, but the kitchen is well equipped and there are two big fridges and a shelf where you can store your groceries, so if you get tired of the breakfast offered you can always make something on your own.

Superb

Very good

Very friendly staff, clean facilities, dormitory beds have curtains and own light and plug, lockers for everyone in the rooms, plus air conditioning. Breakfast is included and for sure a big plus for this hostel: they serve tea, coffee, juice, bread, ham, cheese, jam, margarine, dulce de leche, granola and fruits.

Nice hostel in a good location. They offer a pretty good breakfast, and it is complimentary. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you very much for the hospitality.
