Great social hostel with lots of activities. There is a group whatsapp which lets you know what is happening. They have workshops like caiprinha making and dancing (often the second follows after the first). Great staff also!

I love the location, just 5 min walk to Copacabana and about 15 min walk to Ipanema! The property has a lot of common areas for hanging out with other guests which is a perfect opportunity to get to know new people. Its much cleaner than most hostels, I saw staff cleaning several times a day! Private rooms are fresh and perfect size, well-functioning air conditioner :) staff are very friendly!!!

If you travel alone and like to meet people, it is the perfect place!

They sell a lot of tours like: Football match in Maracanã, Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. You can buy at reception or by whatsapp. The staff is always very helpful, they have a good breakfast, the room was clean and comfortable.

Very social hostel with other great travellers. They organize great excursions and are attentive to any questions you may have. I loved how there was someone on site to help you get a SIM card/data plan.

The hostel was close to the beach and was in a lively neighborhood. From the moment i arrived at the hostel I felt really at home with super friendly staff and special thank to Victor who made my holiday and helped me a lot to buy tickets so i could go to the sambodromo I will definitely visit again

I stayed at Pura Vida on two separate occasions during my time in Rio de Janeiro and both stays were brilliant! There is great vibe for both people who want to party in eve and explore the city during the day which are both created by the amazing staff who are arranging events every day for the guests to enjoy which was great for meeting other guests! The staff from start to finish were amazing! I stayed in a private room both times and each time I was very happy with my room. One further thing Pura Vida provides is the opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere and excursions even after you’ve left. Allowing you to book things even though you have finished staying there. When I return to Rio I would definitely stay at Pura Vida!
