I liked that the staff was very accommodating and it was easy to find but I didn't like that YOU HAD TO LABEL FOOD OR DRINKS OR THEY GET THROWN OUT!

One of the best hostels! The dining options were great, the room clean, guard on duty (it's Brazil....). Pretty building. I was able to walk everywhere I needed to go.

Standard Selina in not the best area. Nice rooftop bar, helpful staff. Small dorm for 8, no towel provided.

The staff are wonderfully helpful (and speak English!). They accommodated an early check in for us and allowed us to store our bags after check out due to a late departing flight. Definitely recommend!

Good location & nice staff
The staff were super lovely and the property is in a good location. The rooms are nice but I think we were just a bit unfortunate to get one without a working extractor fan which made the room a bit damp and smelly... we did let them know but we were only there for a short time! Wifi was good Kitchen could do with a few more spoons!

8/10 Very good

I like the room. It was thoughtfully decorated and very clean. I didn’t find the staff very helpful or pleasant. It was like I was bothering them whenever I’d ask for information. It was the other guests who helped me when needed. The kitchen only had 2 spoons, no bowls, and 2 cups. I think it’s important to let people know that the Lapa area, at least near the hotel, has a lot of homelessness and people addicted to substances. I think having a Welcome Session to inform guests about the property, location, and public transportation options would be very helpful.

2/10 Poor

This hostel is a disgrace! I chose it specifically for its coworking space, but my experience has been a nightmare. The first night, I couldn't sleep due to loud toilet pipes at 3 AM. The second night, a man repeatedly tried to enter my room from 9 PM to 3 AM, leaving me terrified. Despite the supposed 24/7 reception, they were unresponsive. Now, Selina is refusing to refund me for the remaining stay, despite Expedia advising me to leave early. Avoid Selina at all costs.

My wife and son enjoyed their stay even though their room did not have a tv. I cant remember if I saw that it would be so that is on me. All that matters is they enjoyed their stay.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is located in the tourist area of Lapa in a good way. Is best to get ESIMS before you get there so you can enjoy your touring with UBER because they are always around the hotel and saves you lots of of heartache due to language barrier. The Rooftop bar is also convienently on top of the hotel. I did not experience much noise either.

Good location for Centro. Check-in stuff great. Rooms are fine. It’s really a young persons hotel. Very loud until 10pm, DJs etc. Breakfast chaotic and not great, which is an exceptional for Brazil. That said, good value for money.
