Castelo dos Tucanos Host features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Rio de Janeiro. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can make use of a bar.

Guests at the hostel can enjoy a buffet breakfast. This is the best hostel I've been in. The vibe is amazing, they really care for the guests, and plan activities so everyone shares time together. The breakfast is amazing. The location is very good, in the heart of Santa Teresa with restaurants and many things to to around, but also easily reaching the center, beaches and other parts of the city with Uber. The rooms are ok, and I saw cleaning staff every day. If I come back to Rio, I will definitely stay here again (and I have already recommended it to my friends and family)

The property is around 2.3 km from Escadaria Selarón, 4 km from Municipal Theatre of Rio de Janeiro and 4.8 km from Modern Art Museum. The hostel provides both free WiFi and free private parking. Very beautiful architecture, clean rooms and facilities, uncomplicated booking process with no prepayment (not typical for Brazil), beautiful views , facilities to have healthy home cooked food for a good price (not just burgers and pizzas), safety and security, and the most important the wonderful and welcoming staff. If you come here expecting a big party hostel with a lot of alcohol and testosterone fueled action , you will be disappointed. If you come here for a peaceful place to relax and get some quiet time away from the crowds you will be very happy.
