We’re a hostel with marble floors in Rio de Janeiro! No other place is like ours! Check it out!

Carnival package (minimum of 7 nights) = February 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22. Only booking on these dates will be accepted (they will otherwise be cancelled).
New Year’s Eve (minimum of 4 nights) = Dec 29, 30, 31 and Jan 1st.

All dorms have between 10 and 14 beds. They are either mixed or female with their own private bathroom (with shower area separate from the sink area), air conditioning and mini bar at no extra cost. As a brand new hostel we are the 1st and only to have received licensing and certification according to the strict new quality control laws. These stringent rules include new mattresses equipped with proper bed covers to avoid bedbugs, hot showers and a fully equipped kitchen.

This is one of the best hostels in Rio when it comes to price, comfort and hospitality! It is a brand new hostel (not renovated), all the way from its marble flooring to cathedral hardwood ceiling. Its certified wood of course, which brings us to the most important point: our name - ECO. Our hostel is totally committed to socio-environmental responsibility and has a strategic partnership with Jungle Beach, an award winning nature preserve that features one of Brazil’s most beautiful waterfalls. A stay at our hostel allows you a free night at this Jungle Lodge that’s only a 2 hour bus drive from Rio. A truly unforgettable experience.

Location Information

Perfect location! We are located in a fantastic area.
- First, we are in Botafogo which means easy access to Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon and São Conrado beach and very easy to reach the city centre.
- Second, the metro station is less than 10 steps from the hostel!
- Third, Buses to everywhere in Rio de Janeiro, with a stop in front of the hostel.
- Fourth, all you need is nearby like Shopping malls, banks, embassies and consulates, bakery, supermarket, post office, restaurants.
In fact, Botafogo is very cultural with many bars, museums, classy cinemas & theatres, cultural centres and lots to do for upscale backpackers will be find here!
- And fifth but not the last...for you maybe the best...the prices are for locals, not for tourists.

Have you heard about Botafogo before? It is the best point to see the Christ, the Sugar Loaf and the nicest and coolest area in Rio called Urca where you can see many locals drinking beer at local bars and fishing at the sea! An experience you will never forget!
