Excepcional

Espaço do quarto e café da manhã.

Janelas não serem com proteção para não sermos vistos pelos outros quartos, sem estar com o blackout fechado.

Indico para passeios de negócio ou para eventos sem crianças!

Fui coma família que gostou da pegada moderna, achei vaga por perto para estacionar o carro! Check in rápido, movimentado e muito turístico, eventos no rooftop com DJ anima o passeio!

Não tinha frigobar no quarto que fiquei e nem de o café da manhã ser a parte!

Retorno a um lugar que se tornou especial

O clima dos hospedes As festas do hostel Os funcionários sempre atenciosos, amigos e prestativos

Reformas e algumas coisas que não estavam funcionando Limpeza no quarto deixou um pouco a desejar. Os armários estavam com muita poeira assim como em alguns cantos e debaixo das beliches.

No aspecto geral, gostei bastante.

No aspecto geral, gostei de tudo, a hospedagem sensacional, a localização perfeita, o hotel tem um visual interessante, o terraço é sensacional com uma vista linda dos Arcos da Lapa, show! 👏

Do café da manhã, achei que deixou a desejar, bem básico pelo valor que é, e também a limpeza do banheiro, ( nada tão absurdo) mas precisa dar uma caprichada nos azulejos!

Incrível

Adorei o espaço, super bem decorado, parece casa de família,

Infelizmente a única coisa que não gostei foi a localização, consegui ir ao selina lapa porque foi o único que estava com quarto vazio quando me hospedei, mas tirando esse fato, selina lapa está de parabéns.

Perfeito.

De tudo. Desde os colaboradores até o espaço todo do hostel. Muito aconchego, segurança e boas energias. Pessoas extremamente educadas e atenciosas. Tudo muito limpo e organizado.

Não tem nada que eu não tenha gostado.

Good for one Night!

Location is nice. Right next to Arcos da Lapa and 3min walking to Escadaria Selarón. Also several bars and restaurants close by. Even at night time you can walk outside to/from the bar area. The rooftop bar is quite fun and frequently visited by outside customers. So you can get a glimpse of Rio's nightlife even without leaving the hotel.

Big issues with cleanliness. It was simply dirty at all common areas. Rooms are better in terms of cleanliness and bathrooms are quite new/clean, too. Still the dirt in the other areas doesn't make you feel relax and comfortable. Stuff is quite useless. Friendly on the first sight, but if you need something, you are on your own.

Good

Close to downtown, easy access to the main areas

When I got there I found out that booking.com put me in a shared room (up to 8 people). However, nothing was mentioned on my reservation. I had to pay extra money to change the type of room I'd be in.

It’s fine for younger crowd or a night to sleep. The room itself is good, the facilities and breakfast are bad.

The location is convenient to visit downtown Rio or US embassy. The room is fine with nice shower. we found a few hairs in the bed sheets, but it’s to be expected for this price.

kitchen is filthy with dishes piling up for two days, dirty microwave, greasy tables. The breakfast took 1.5 hours to be served and was completely cold - probably two day old omelette and some fruits. We decided not to risk another food poisoning in Brazil and did not eat it.

It was fabulous and I am hoping I’ll finally get to try the welcome drink next time haha

Loved Debora at the front desk, not only is she friendly, she’s also attentive even during people checking in and out en masse all day every day. All the other staff are great too, most understood basic English but would definitely help if you speak Spanish or Portuguese

At times the food could be a little on the pricer side in Rio even though the dishes are usually flavourful, the team are amazing with food and service, but occasionally the service staff are serving a lot of people so there is usually a semi long wait for food and service.

Great location, great ambience

The hostel had a great ambience, in a lovely old building. The room was good. Location was perfect, just round the corner from the Seralon steps and close to the tram stop to Santa Teresa. We found a good vegan restaurant just nearby. This is definitely a party area, with lots of people enjoying the music and partying.

We used the kitchen, but the facilities were not very good. There was only one or two knives, forks, not many plates and a few saucepans. Also, it was not very clean. Most people seemed to have breakfast in the on-site cafe though.

Not bad

The building is very beautiful, new and well decorated. The rooms are very comfortable. Be able to party on the roof top with DJ's and the ideal location compared to the surrounding bars👌

A receptionist was not friendly or very competent, the kitchen equipment was disappointing because no cup or good kitchen knives, the card system has bugged several times.

Passable

The people are just awesome! The service was 10/10. The lobby is great, bar is good, rooftop is nice, all shared areas are pretty good. All good but the rooms

The room, and specially bathroom, were a mess. Everything is thin, beds, floor, walls.. so you hear noises and and the light comes through everywhere. The bathroom didn't have hot water, was not cleaned daily and the soap and shampoo were not refilled. Also no tawells etc. I not it's a hostel, but they gotta do better

Passable

I liked the facilities and the atmosphere in the common areas, plus the nights with DJs on the rooftop. Breakfast was good.

I did not like the rooms. I tried two of those shared rooms and they smell like mold, even the bed curtains were visibly full of mold in room 101. The air is dense, and the AC is not enough to refrigerate the entire room (room 108). They also only give you a sad sheet, there is no comforter. Plus the bathroom was very dirty. It’s a very expensive and we’ll known hotel, they should work on improving their rooms instead of just focusing on external appearances. It was very disappointing in that sense, and I will never come back do Selina Lapa.

Good value for money

the Style and accommodations are pretty nice

you will not be able to go to bed before 11pm as the Rooftop has activities up until that time and it’s pretty loud. but you can go to the rooftop and enjoy too!

Grat Place and location, rooms are nice and spacious and the bathrooms are really nice

The first time we came at the beginning of February the staff was exceptional, friendly, welcoming and helpful with wonderful recommendations

The second stay was at the end of February and the staff seemed tired and the recommended restaurants were awful, such a difference! Maybe the carnival exhausted everyone. Also the room was prepared a little carelessly with the offered bottles of soap and shampoo being empty, pieces of the floor were broken off and overall the room felt a little run down. Also we paid 20€ more for the night and this time breakfast was not included where as in our first booking it was, so our second stay was disappointing compared with our first. Overall it’s a great place to stay, it’s good to get a good booking deal which includes breakfast

Very good

we were checking in quite late but it was not a problem as reception was open; we were offered a welcome drink next day; room was spacious and clean, but designed more like a shared room than for a couple; we ordered lunch on our last day and the food was really nice.

depending on the time of arrival at the restaurant - one time we were waiting for 45 minutes and got a soggy and not very nice toast and they forgot about our coffees and juices, the other time it was nice and tasty; on the last day after checking out we spent the time before our flight (10pm) sightseeing and we really wanted to take a shower before the journey, so we asked if we could pay extra to use a bathroom with a shower, but were refused.

Great option for those looking to stay in Lapa

Big place with lots of different common areas, friendly staff and cool vibe. Also I loved the free caipirinha! Also the bathrooms were pretty ample and beds were comfy too! Also, this is well-located *within Lapa*. Keep in mind that Lapa can be a rough area within Rio, but it's definitely worth exploring, so just be a bit more cautious here than you might be in other neighborhoods and you'll be fine.

I felt like my shared room could've used a tiny bit more space just so the backpacks and luggage weren't so in the way, but it worked fine either way.
