Before coming to Rio, I was a bit worried about safety, but this hostel completely put my mind at ease. It has its own secure entrance, which made me feel very safe. The metro station is just a few minutes’ walk, making transportation super convenient. There are several supermarkets nearby, which is very handy, and the beach is only about a 20-minute walk away—perfect for a stroll or relaxing. I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely choose this hostel again next time I visit Rio!

I liked everything about this hostel. It was my first ever hostel experience and it was pure perfection. I was a bit skeptical at first but this place turned my opinion around 360! Staff was super helpful and friendly, gave so many good travelling tips. I met so many traveller's from around the world and the atmosphere was just so chill and nice. Breakfast was delicious.

A unique and beautiful boutique hotel in an area of Rio that felt cozy, alternative and safe(r). The room gave the impression of a noble, well-aged saloon that was taken care of with love. The other half of the building is a modernist art gallery (hence the name) with lots of interesting pieces; gallery and hotel share a colourful patio which saw people having a relaxed coffee. The team was super friendly, helpful, had a great personal vibe and made me feel at home. The rest of my group stayed at the Copacabana, but I enjoyed very much this little refuge on the hill, with some very good bars/coffees/restaurants just a few minutes away and the historic tramway passing in front of the window. Would definitely come back.

Such an incredible place to stay! The house itself was beautiful and very well kept. The private room that we booked was away from the main part of the house which was great for a couple like us that wanted our own space at the end of the day. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel really welcome. The included breakfast was very generous. Definitely recommend!

Everything was great!! I already stayed in Panorama Inn for the second time in Rio and I will always come back. The rooms are nicely equipped, clean, the included breakfast is nice and above all, I have never met a better and more friendly and caring host than Arthur and his wife. They let me put my luggage in storage as long as I needed before check-in and after check-out, offered me a shower despite me not living there anymore, helped me with questions, and many more. Furthermore, the view is amazing, right at Cristo!

Stuff are very kind and helpful, the place is very clean, the location is great depends on what you're looking for (obviously if you want to spend most of your time by the beach - it's not ideal). Only good words to say
