Very different type of hostel... It's just a dorm in someone's apartment. It was a great place to get a good night of sleep after too many Caparinhas. Highly recommend if you're looking for something chill with nice staff.

Cristina & Walter helped us organise our activities in Rio and around. We felt safe in the neighbourhood and had no trouble moving around the city with Uber from & to the villa.

Boasting an outdoor pool, free breakfast and free WiFi, Casa Geranio is a charming B&B located in a unique area of Rio, just 500 metres from Lapa's Arches and 1 km from Cinelandia metro station. It features gardens with fruit trees and birds, as well as exquisite views of the city.

We had a fantastic time at Casa Geranio. Claudio and Gabriel were extremely kind and welcoming and their house is splendidly decorated, from the choice of furniture, the plethora of beautiful plants and the breathtaking view. It is ideally located in the heights of Santa Teresa which are definitely worth the walk, while it's very easy to get to the main attractions in the center of Rio. The breakfast and the views from the pool are definitely something not to miss, and that we are already missing.

    This place is a true gem. The house is amazing and inspiring filled with beautiful art. The room is like a hidden space that you enter through a tiny staircase. Very romantic with spectacular views of Rio. Carmen and Fernando were the most lovely hosts. We felt at home and they even took us to a samba party during the carnaval. The area is very charming with beautiful old mansions and hip places

    I only got to stay for one night, but this hostel would be even more perfect for people staying a little longer. It's in a great location: walking distance from stores, the metro and the nightlife of Lapa, but also in a quiet neighbourhood, where you can relax in a very nice environment and enjoy the panoramic view of the city from above. The house is just beautiful and the pool is the best hangout spot after a day of sightseeing.

    The hostel is in a great location - less than a five minute walk from ipanema beach and close to loads of shops. The area around the hostel also felt super safe. The showers were hot and the food at the bar was decent. There is also an area on the rooftop for people to chill and there’s also a kitchen up there.
