About

Copa Hostel - Rio de Janeiro

Copa Hostel is a no-nonsense, 2-star hostel in the Copacabana district of Rio de Janeiro. It’s a practical choice for travellers who want to be close to the action without paying for extras they won’t use. The hostel is a short walk from the beach and a short drive from Cantagalo metro station, making it easy to explore the city.

A paid breakfast is available, and the front desk offers services like luggage storage, laundry, and tour assistance.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable location near Copacabana Beach — Guests repeatedly mention being just a few minutes’ walk from the sand – one says it’s a 3-minute walk, another says it’s 3 blocks away. You can realistically roll out of bed and be on the beach before you’ve fully woken up.
  • Air conditioning in most rooms — Despite the budget price, most rooms – including dorms – come with air conditioning, a crucial plus in Rio’s heat. Not all private rooms list it, so check when booking.
  • Free Wi-Fi and social spaces — Free Wi-Fi in public areas, plus a terrace, garden, bar, games room, and library give you places to unwind and meet other travellers without spending extra.
  • Practical services for travellers — The hostel offers luggage storage, laundry, dry cleaning, and tour/ticket assistance, which makes it easy to plan your days or store bags after checkout.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Low overall guest rating — With a rating of 6.5 out of 10 from 103 reviews, expectations should be set low. Reviews describe it as 'you get what you pay for' and 'OK as a place to sleep' – not a destination in itself.
  • Minimal amenities in some rooms — While dorms and some private rooms have air conditioning, the Quadruple Room lists no amenities, and the Triple Room has no bed details. If you need specific features, check with the hostel before booking.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so if you’re travelling with a furry friend, look elsewhere.
  • Breakfast costs extra — Breakfast is paid separately, so factor that into your budget. There are likely cheaper options nearby, but the convenience of on-site breakfast is a paid extra.
