We were meant to stay in this hostel for 4 nights and ended up staying for 12!! This should say everything about this hostel. The staff at this hostel and the people it attracts are so welcoming its like being at home but with the delights of Rio on your door step. Compared to the other hostels in Rio its... More

My husband and I stayed here for the last 4 days of our 4 month trip around South America and our stay at Lagoa Guest house was a superb ending to our trip. Of all the places we have stayed I have never been able to say that one place has ever ticked all the boxes... But seriously I have... More

We stayed here for 6 days and found the hostal and staff to be really nice. Lagoa has a good vibe and all the staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about Rio and transport on from there. The hostal does a BBQ night which is very sociable but don't expect too much food, it's more about drinking. There is... More

My room was very small but it was fine for just me, I had aircon and I was close to the bathrooms. My room was clean but unfortunately the bathroom weren't quite as clean :-( the staff at this guest house were the most helpful I have probably ever encountered, Fabio is lovely and really went out of his way...

We´ve been travelling for 3 months so far around South America and Lagoa Guest House is by far the best experience we have had. We stayed for 5 nights starting 2 days before carnival and then for the first half of carnival. Right from the friendly greeting from Paul as we entered until we left we had a ball. It´s... More

Stayed here for three nights in August in a double, private room (pink flip flop room) with a shared bathroom. Not overcrowded, we were worried about using the bathroom with it being shared but had absolutely no problems and there was always one free. The bathrooms were cleaned daily when we were there. Standard Brazilian breakfast of bread, cheese, ham,... More

I stayed in their "individual" room (with WC and douche), for 180R$/night (it seems that their "normal" rate is even higher). The room was not really clean, and there were a lot of mosquitoes. Also, the place is quite noisy: it's just next to the common room, with a big TV on the thin wall separating them, so that you... More

Really friendly staff and atmopshere, as well as a good breakfast and nice communal areas made this hostel the best out of 3 I stayed in during my time in Rio. Don't miss Roses' saturday night lapa tours.
