Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can feel basic — A couple of reviewers note the rooms are simple and basic, so don't expect frills beyond the essentials.
- Mixed opinions on value — While some find the price fair, others feel the rates are on the higher side given the room quality.
- Hostel-style atmosphere — The property also operates as a hostel, which means shared dorms and a more social, less private vibe than a typical hotel.
- No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so if you're driving you'll need to find street parking or a nearby garage.

7.6Verified guest“The superior king studio has a very comfortable bed, a mini bar fridge, a microwave, air conditioning, and a clean private bathroom.”
7.6Verified guest“We were only here for 7 nights because we were in a hurry, but everything was very good. The location was central and close to the beach.”
7.6Verified guest“At Ace backpackers hostel the staff were really nice. The kitchen has a stove, microwave, fridge, washing machine and dryer – the first two are free to use, you just tidy up after yourself. Air conditioning in all rooms is quiet and modern. The place felt safe – no big sign outside, just a small sticker, and a second iron door controlled by cameras. Botafogo isn't dangerous, but it's reassuring. The location is great: a few metres from the beach, Botafogo shopping, the metro (two stops to Copacabana), restaurants, bars, a supermarket, and views of Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. Bus stops in all directions, including to the central bus terminal with direct airport connections, are nearby.”
7.6Verified guest“A great spot if you're planning to go to a game at the stadium or have drinks at nearby bars.”
7.6Verified guest“Beyond the location and clean rooms, the reason to return is the friendliness of the staff. Everyone, including the owner, goes out of their way to help, with lots of tips on places to go. After a year of travelling, this is one of the few places that felt like a second home and really added value to my time in Rio.”
7.6Verified guest“The rooms come with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a TV.”
