Home Sweet Home Hostel

In Rio de Janeiro’s bohemian Santa Teresa, about 3 km from the city center and minutes from Arcos da Lapa, Selarón Steps and the Catedral. The hostel sits a roughly 15-minute drive from Copacabana and keeps downtown attractions within easy reach.

Small, warmly decorated hostel with just two air-conditioned guestrooms — simple comforts like showers with bidets, ceiling fans, turndown service and daily housekeeping. Common spaces include a terrace with views, a TV area and barbecue grills, plus concierge and multilingual staff to help plan your stay.

Complimentary wireless internet, a laid-back bar/lounge and a terrace ideal for evening barbecues. Tour desk and area shuttle (surcharge) make getting around easy, and roundtrip airport and cruise-terminal shuttles are available for a fee.

Express check-in and check-out and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep things quick and connected; staff can arrange transfers and tour bookings.

Buffet breakfasts are served daily for a fee, and the on-site bar pours drinks to unwind with after exploring the city. The barbecue area is perfect for casual group meals on the terrace.
