Hotel Bintang 2 di Rio de Janeiro (negara bagian), Brasil

Located close to a shopping mall and Botafogo beach. Hotel is clean and service is excellent. Only negative was a puddle of water on the floor leaking from the toilet.

It’s my first experience staying at the hostel in Rio, and it’s been great so far. Very nice and clean place, friendly and helpful staff. Good location, easy to walk to the closest bus stop. Has a great rooftop lounge area and lots of places to sit down and work with your laptop.

Very fun place, not too ”modern” in the sense that it wasn't a soulless expat place for people who don't care about actually learning about more local experiences. Perfectly situated two blocks away from Copacabana. Staff were very friendly.
