Hostelzinho Vidigal

Rio de Janeiro

An excellent place to stay, minutes from the beach. A very cozy place, located in the Vidigal favela. Very good attention from its owners, and events almost every week, including music, beer, some churrasco and always the good vibe of the cariocas.

A trip to Rio

There is something rather special about this place...it feels like home, there is nothing too small the owners will help with. Amazing views over the very safe favela. 7min walk to the beach, an Açai shop just up the road and at the bottom of one of the sight seeing mountains. Ao much to do- my favourtie place to stay in this part of Rio and will definitrely be staying again when I'm next there!
Cleanliness is superb and cosy beds even for my fussy self too!! #winning

I stayed in the hostel for three weeks and the hostel is really nice. I was working while staying there and it was perfect because it was easy to relax since the hostel is quite small and quiet. If you're looking for a calm and peaceful place, it's perfect, but if you're looking for a very social spot with parties every other night, this might not be the perfect place for you but it all depends on who's there at the same time, I guess.
Whether you like the location or not, depends on what you're looking for, I think. I liked that Vidigal gives you a more "authentic" experience and a feeling of being in a less touristic area and it doesn't take long to go to the beaches and the center. That being said, It is a bit outside the touristic attractions and center of the city and buses/taxis are necessary - and it is a slum even though probably a peaceful one. 
The facilities in the rooms are some of the best I've ever had. Beds are big and comfortable, there are big drawers with locks for all your stuff, the bathrooms and showers are very clean and the hostel is super safe. 
On top of that, Mathias is an excellent host who makes a huge effort to make all his guests feel at home. He is so friendly and really helpful no matter what you ask or need help for.

Excellent stay

A place located in a peculiar favela close to the Rio Beach area was nice and affordable to me, I recommend it for backpackers or people looking for alternative accommodations.

Travel to Rio

Very clean and nice rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You get a great value for your money. When you stay here, make sure you go to the top of the favela and the mountain peak! It takes a while bit the view is amazing!
