- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Wave Hostel is recommended by the Lonely Planet guide and run by authentic independent travellers who have visited more than 20 countries. We certainly know what backpackers need, facilitating access to beautiful spots both within the city and off the beaten track. This is definitely the place to be if you are travelling on a low budget.In a privileged location, we are just 2 minutes walk from the beach, the beautiful lagoon and other spots blessed by Mother Nature. At the Wave hostel you will certainly enjoy the most beautiful views in the city, be it walking, biking or trekking around. Or just do nothing, relax with a refreshing drink in the shade by the gorgeous lagoon or at a kiosk by the beach.Rio de Janeiro is also known for the pleasant informality of the bars where you can drink a cold beer, forget about life and just watch people walk by. read more

Directions
From the airport/bus station:
Take the bus called Leblon from outside the terminal. The name of the bus company is REAL. It will cost you some R$5 and will take approximately one hour.
Ask the driver to drop you at Rua Miguel Lemos at the beach avenue. Walk two blocks through Rua Miguel Lemos, cross two streets and take the left at the third one - Travessa Cristiano Lacorte (before the a bus stop ? there's a sign at the corner saying Wave Hostel).
You can also take a taxi (R$70) from outside the terminal but give preference to the ones registered by the airport, with ?kiosks? inside the arrival lounge. They also take payment in advance with your credit card. This avoids surprises on the cost and saves you some cash right in the beginning of the trip.

I had such a good time here. It is not the cleaniest hostel, but its locations and its staff made it totally worth staying here.

An amazing experience. I am glad I stayed here at this hostel, because it was a really nice introduction to Rio de Janeiro. But it would be really cool if there were some fans or air conditioning in the rooms.

Really friendly and outgoing staff, set 1 block from Copacabana beach. Not great value but you're paying for location I suppose. Recommend it highly for people travelling alone who wan to meet new people.
