I stayed in Aquarela do Leme Hostel for about 9 days with my mom. At first we were relieved to see a colourful hostel with friendly staff, but later on we were disappointed. Hostel is not that clean. The worst thing is that you have to wash your own dishes after you eat breakfast that you paid for. There's no dishwasher and there was dried up leftovers on forks, some plates etc. The tables where you eat aren't cleaned either. And the breakfast was the ongoing disappointment. At the start of our stay we had cheese, tomato and cucumber, eggs, oatmeal and bread. After 4 days of stay, they stopped serving cheese, tomato and cucumbers, all we had were runny eggs. The bigger disappointment was that the staff said they didn't have mango, cheese, tomato and cucumber because they haven't gone to the market (which is like, maybe 10 meters away). The reason they don't serve mango is because there's too much work at cutting them up. And we had no cheese, but the staff had it on their plates, leaving you with the option of disgusting runny eggs, bread or oatmeal. Forget the pretty photoshoped pictures you see. The cushions on the common areas haven't been cleaned, I think NEVER. The whole place looks like a hippie's crib, not a profesional hostel. And the staff is ful of volunteers that aren't paid, but get a place to stay if they cook and do other work. For a 9 day stay we only got our towels cleaned once. It wasn't all bad. The view from the rooftop terrace is outstanding, the staff is truly nice and friendly. But it bothers me when it gets rated wonderfully just for friendly staff. The hostel isn't as clean as it could be, it should be renovated as well, they need a dishwasher and a bigger breakfast buffet. Another note from my mom - she as a botanical enthusiast was furious that the plants weren't watered, so she watered them herself.

This hostel is really amazing. Its location is near Leme beach and inside a pacified Favela Vibe so its cool to exprience in Rio de Janeiro. Felt completely safe area there. The best breakfast to start the day. The bed is comfortable with a Pod Style bed (with your own curtain for privacy, light, personal shelves and charging plugs). The hospitality of the owner and the team are amazing. They can always recommend trips, events and hikes. It has a good communal area where you can easily meet people from all over the world. It also has a co working space where when you need to focus with your work, you can easily do it. My favourite space will be to rooftop bar where you can chill, meet people or even work and drink an in-house caipirinha. Highly recommended for a great stay in Rio de Janeiro...

This is the BEST hostel I stayed in !!! Very safe, clean, good vibes, family atmosphere… the owners are amazing, as well as the volunteer team. Major bonus : the gym spot in the rooftop ! Breakfast is fresh and delicious every morning, beautiful coworking place, the area is very safe as well. You will make tons of friends and memories! The only danger in aquarela is to stay more than expected 🙃

O Aquarela do Leme é um daqueles lugares que você reserva somente por 1 noite e vai extendendo a sua estádia até o dia que precisa voltar para casa. E se não precisasse voltar ficaria por lá para sempre. A princípio a localização pode assustar por estar em lugar alto e ser necessário subir uma ladeira para chegar ao hostel, mas isso é superado pela incrível vista que se tem das áreas externas de lá, sem falar que a vizinhança é a mais segura, a qualquer hora do dia e na noite eu circulei pelo bairro e absolutamente nada aconteceu e tão pouco me senti insegura. A praia do Leme é de longe a minha preferida em todo o Rio de Janeiro. Também adorei o bar no rooftop onde todos se reúnem a noite para fazer aquele esquenta antes de ir para a balada. Outro detalhe que eu amei no Aquarela foi os passeios que eles oferecem e os ingressos para os jogos de futebol no Maracanã, tudo pode ser reservado no próprio hostel. Agora, a cereja do bolo é o café da manhã. Simplesmente incrível! Recomendo que você venha se hospedar aqui, tenho certeza que não vai se arrepender.

El Hostel es super bonito, colorido, con un ambiente tranquilo dentro, respetuoso, y gente amable y con alegria dispuesta a compartir un día en la playa, una caminata, unos tragos en el bar de la terraza ( con vista al mar dicho sea de paso 😍). Esta muy bien ubicado, a minutos de la playa y de muchas atracciones alrededor. Solo puedo recomendarlo!!

This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at! It’s clean, it has everything you need, and it’s very social! The owners and the staff are super friendly and helpful! The rooms have ac (some rooms even a little fan by the bed as well) and every bed has curtains for privacy, shelves so you can pack up your things, lamp, electrical outlet, locker for your bag under your bed and hooks with your bed number on so you can hang your clothes. Some rooms has bathroom in the room but my room had a shared bathroom with a lot of toilets and showers, so you could shower at any time without disturbing anyone! You got to know lot of friends while brushing your teeth in the bathroom as well!;) The kitchen is well organized and always clean! And they have free breakfast that is more like a hotel breakfast - a really nice surprise! The breakfast also makes everyone get together and talk! They also have a working space with AC, a nice rooftop with a beautiful view and an outside gym! Another comfortable thing is that you can put everything on your tab, like drinks in the bar, sim-card, laundry and towel rental. I was here during carnival so it was a lot of party and you really felt the party vibe in the hostel but it was no parties in the hostel, everyone just had pre-drinks and then left to town, so it was no problem sleeping, it was quiet! The only negative thing is that it’s on a hill so you have to walk and sometimes it takes a while to get an Uber, otherwise I have NOTHING to complain about! I had a great time and it was because of this hostel I found an amazing group to celebrate carnival with! I really recommend you to stay here! Thank you Aquarela! I’ll be back for sure!!
