All the hostels on the backyard of Rua Barão da Torre 175 are great! They are your best option, especially if this is your first time in Rio. It's relatively safe and you'll absolutely meet other happy travelers.

I had an amazing time at Harmonia. The rooms are small and cramped - but you don't go to Rio to sleep. The owner is layed back and he has created a friendly, warm, fun atmosphere and the Scandinavian staff (Miya I love you) are incredible.

I had a great time in Rio and this hostel was a good time. It was small enough to avoid the usual hostel BS and the staff were friendly, laid back and cool. It's in an excellent location and is a good place to stay in Rio if you are on a budget.

The rooms were small, cramped, and bedbug infested. You feel like you're in a sardine can. It's overrun by Scandinavians and one of the owners was more interested in getting into my pants. When he couldn't succeed he told me, in the middle of the day, that they were all booked and I had to leave. The only advantage of staying here is the location, which is prime! Rio has several good youth hostels; stay in one of those instead and enjoy this great city!

We spent arond 2 weeks in Harmonia, and the atmosphere is excellent. We got to know a lot of people, the staff were friendly and informative, and the location is just EXCELLENT... walk down to the beach in 2 minutes. Recommended by me, a Norwegian backpacker.

We had a great time in Rio, fun and nice people but the hostel is very tiny, small rooms for 6 people and just a small social area.
