Villa 25

“I liked having a restaurant at my disposal. It's cute how the restaurant does not rely on hotel or hostel guests. The front desk people speak English, so that was very helpful. The girl receptionist, I'm sorry I forgot her name was my favorite. She made me feel very welcomed. She told me that one of her friends is visiting my state in the U.S. The pool was always open and looked nice. The food is very good. I upgraded to a single room with a balcony. I felt safe, and I enjoyed my stay.”

“Very clean everything, great breakfast and an absolute perfect location! Very helpful staff and food in the restaurant is also very good.”

“Beds are comfortable They have A/C Breakfast is very nice”

“This is an excellent option for those traveling on a budget to Rio. I booked a single room for a number of nights and was super surprised. It was my first stay in a hostel and Villa 25 surpassed my expectations. The staff all super polite and helpful, lots of tips and advice to give. The room itself very spacious and incredibly clean with a powerful show good proper bed. Didn’t need to use the air conditioning as it was relatively cool anyway. Location wise, the pousada is super near to the metro. There are loads of little bars and places to eat nearby, if you’re feeling lazy there’s the restaurant downstairs or uber eats. Having visited Rio loads I have to say this place is a great option for people on a budget.”

“Lovely place close to metro station Largo do Machado. The place is a mix of a hotel and a hostel. But they seem to have quite a lot of dorms. Everything looks new and in good shape. Hostel staff were very friendly. You get breakfast buffet kind of style, which was good. Especially nice were the fresh fruits. Beds were comfy and because of the curtain you have some privacy. Surroundings of the hostel are nice and also safe. There are quite a few supermarkets and also restaurants and bars in the area. Definitly recommended”
