Che Lagarto Hostel Ipanema

In Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro — a short, 3‑minute walk from Ipanema Beach and steps from Leblon, Rio Design Leblon and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. This small hostel puts beaches, bars and shopping within easy reach for beach‑first travelers and family‑friendly stays.

A quiet, compact hostel with just 9 air‑conditioned guestrooms. Rooms have showers, blackout curtains and daily housekeeping. The vibe is casual and social — a low‑key base where you can wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and hit the sand fast.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, a bar/lounge for evening hangs, a kids' playroom and a tour/ticket desk to book local excursions. Reception is open around the clock and staff can arrange transfers and city tips.

24‑hour front desk with multilingual staff (English and Spanish), safe‑deposit box and luggage storage. High‑speed wired internet is available (surcharge) and airport shuttle/transfer services can be arranged.

Bar/lounge on site for drinks and relaxed evenings. Buffet breakfast is served daily from 8–10 AM for a fee, and a shared/communal kitchen is available for guests who prefer to cook.
