The property is around less than 1 km from Botafogo Beach, 3.6 km from Rodrigo de Freitas Lake and 4.2 km from Sugarloaf Mountain. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Extremely warm and friendly atmosphere even for a non-Portuguese speaker like myself.

Castelo dos Tucanos Host features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Rio de Janeiro. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can make use of a bar.

Guests at the hostel can enjoy a buffet breakfast. It is a unique building, old, big and very artistic- how it looks is reason enough to stay here! Big kitchen with a lot of space to cook. The castle also has many spaces for relaxing or socializing, like the pool, the living room and the garden. There is something for everyone here, either if you like to socialize a lot, chill in your own private space or if you are there to work while you travel. Great staff and great volunteers who really makes you feel at home. For me, this is one of the most unique and special hostels you can visit, do not sleep on this one and book your stay❤️

Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can make use of a bar. I had a wonderful time in the RWC Hostel. The host and the volunteers really care about your experience and can give you personal advice on where to go and what to watch out for. I felt safe, cared for and most important: I had a lot of fun! It is the kind of hostel where you can follow the vibe. Whether you want to party, or have a chill night. The building (with amazing architecture and loads of flowers and paintings) accommodates for every need. Thanks for the amazing time, will definitely come back 🙏✨
