Carioca life 40 seconds from the beach.

You arrive alone. You leave with friends from all over the world.

Two ways to experience Rio. Pick yours.

At El Misti Ipanema you sleep surrounded by people from every corner of the world.

At Misti Suites you close the door and Rio is all yours.

Five minutes by metro between the two.

The classic. Social life, new people, real stories.

Private, quiet, right next to the most famous beach on the planet.

Take your first SOLO trip — and actually feel ready.

WOULD YOU DARE?

That trip you keep putting off?

This is what it’s for.

For when you’re tired of the same places, the same people, and you finally decide to put yourself first.

You don’t need to feel ready. You just need to go.

Tap the button below to see how to turn your first adventure into reality.

The Rio tourists never see. We'll take you there.

There’s a Rio on Google. Beaches, Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain. Beautiful — but any 4-star hotel can give you that.

There’s another Rio. Arpoador at sunset with people from 30 countries.

Samba that starts after midnight on a street with no name.

That Rio needs someone who actually lives in it to show you around.

That’s how it’s been with 100,000+ guests over more than 20 years.

And here we still are — 9 on Booking, 9.4 on Hostelworld, Top 1 at the HOSCARs 2026 (we’re the #1 hostel in Brazil).

Not because the bed is great, but because what happens after you drop your backpack is what makes all the difference.
