1. Having stood in lots of different hostels in Rio I can assure Lisetonga is BY FAR the best one. The staff is very helpful, polite and friendly. 2. The hostel is lovely and a piece of culture itself. It is a house from the 30's that has being remodeled just in the right measure to accomodate the guests but... More

I stayed in Lisetonga Hostel and it was a great time. It was in a little side street of Leme so it was easy to get to Copacabana and the beach. Good restaurant eats and bars are nearby and the travelers in the hostel are a great group. Just be prepared for a more raucous scene than I am personally... More

Hotel Lisetonga has a real family feel to it, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The open areas of the hostel allow you to easily meet other guests.

It is run professionally and with the real passion. The building is fantastic, there are a lot of common areas(terrace, living room, kitchen, patio, fantastic tower with hammocks). Rooms are big enough for the number of guests, but most of them are not spending time in room anyway, having e.g. living room. Lockers are HUGE (5-bed room). Breakfasts are tasty... More

Great hostel that I would recommend to anyone. Really the only downfalls is the hill it is located on, okay for walking down but definitely not up, and the place next door plays LOUD music on the weekends. Breakfast is good. Linens and pillows are provided. Fridge and kitchen for cooking. Great for traveling on a budget.

Hostel Lisetonga was a lovely place to stay; really clean, great service and really warm people. The hostel is decorated really nicely and has a very intimate and homely feel to it. The rooms and bathrooms were kept clean and the staff were always friendly and happy to help.
