We stayed in this hostel for five nights in January. We had the top room which got very hot and has only fans (no aircon) but was otherwise great. There is an outside shower but it was good. The hostel has a kitchen so you can cook, although they don't let you leave ANYTHING in the communal fridge which was... More

Located in Ipanema, in a street with lots of others hostels, this place is really a good place to stay and to visit Rio. The staff is really nice, always helping to book tours or taxi. There is bars and restaurants around, shops and supermarkets as well. I'll definitly go back there if i come back to Rio

Hostel is in a very safe area of Rio and only 5 minutes walk from Ipanema beach. The rooms are a bit small and can get hot at night but fans are provided which are adequate. I stayed in a four bed room along with one girl and two boys and we managed with all our stuff. The staff are... More

This is such an expensive hostel. Stayed here one night and moved to Mango Tree which was way better- better location, a better place to meet people and cheaper. The owner told us we had no curfew as if we were meant to be thankful. I found it very strange because at no other hostel I have been to has... More

We stayed in hostel Harmonia for our first few days in Brazil and couldn't have asked for better help and support from the hostel staff in getting us settled and assisting us in our plans and activities throughout our stay. Traveled as a couple, April 2013

Harmonia was a perfect first stop in Brazil. The the vibe is easy-going, the staff are relaxed, helpful and friendly (plus they play good music), the location is hard to beat, the rooms are clean, and so are the spacious showers. The breakfast's good too! Although it's not a party hostel, the common room downstairs and the courtyard are handy... More

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon back in August. It was a jarring transition, coming from a luxurious private suite in Peru to these dorm-style bunk beds. Upon our arrival, we climbed into our respective beds –across from one another – waved, laughed, and went to sleep. While a hostel is probably not a typical choice for... More

We stayed at Casa Harmonia after the owners were kind enough to take on our group of 6 girls. We received a warm welcome and the atmosphere at the hostel is great: we met several great people, the staff is kind and informative and even allowed us to decorate the common room for our friend's birthday: very kind of them!...

I've stayed here at Harmonia for 7 nights from October 6th … tonight is my last night before heading off to Paraty tomorrow. I would highly recommend this hostel. I’m a girl from London travelling alone and I stayed in the 4 bed mixed dorm overlooking the terrace for the duration of my stay. The staff here at Harmonia are... More
