Che Lagarto Hostel Ipanema

Muy buen hotel, situado cerca de la playa. Su ubicación es ideal para los viajeros, con precios muy atractivos. El hotel ofrece actividades como eventos nocturnos y excursiones de un día.

숙소 위치도 좋고 이파네마 해변이 걸어서 3분이에요 ㅎㅎ 와이파이도 잘 터지고 청결했습니다!! 숙소 깨끗하고 이벤트도 해여! 조식 맛있습니다 ㅎㅎ

Foi muito bacana, o staff era incrível ＜3

O pessoal do hostel é incrível, todos os dias servem caipirinha de graça, todos os dias há festas promovidas pelos próprios, há um tipo de convênio com 3 barracas em Ipanema, os recepcionistas falam várias línguas o que ajuda na interação entre os hóspedes. Experiência muito show pra quem viaja sozinho!

Due to the pandemic, they are located in another building, which has a smaller common area, which did not hinder interaction with other guests AT ALL. The location was perfect, two blocks from Ipanema beach, the hostel has a kiosk on the beach, where guests have a discount. Breakfast is simple, but free and consistent with the price paid (bread, cold cuts, granola, pancake or waffle, fruit, coffee, milk, juice, etc.). My room was always clean, the bed linen was impeccable and the bathroom was also always clean. The hostel is super well located, surrounded by bars and restaurants, the nightlife in the area is very lively, which is great for those looking for interaction and meeting new people. The staff is EXCELLENT, everyone was always very friendly and helpful, they helped me with everything I needed, they were very cheerful, they helped with the interaction between guests making us feel at home. At reception there are some drinks available for sale (beer, water, soft drinks, etc.). Every day there is a FREE caipirinha for half an hour, with lots of music and excitement, a great time to interact.

The hostel is very bad, especially in relation to the price. They charged me $244 for two nights in a private room with a bathroom like the one in the photo they publish here. Although it is not cheap: I bathed with cold water all three days, the room HAS NO WINDOWS (photos attached). Therefore it is ugly to sleep there and I don't know the clothes, the towels, or the floor are wet from the confinement. Even worse is that they have a mechanical ventilation system in these rooms and bathrooms that have no exit to the outside and makes a noise that bothers sleeping. The hostel is very well located but IT DOES NOT HAVE COMMON SPACES. There is no patio, no terrace, no living room, no kitchen that allows you to cook. There are only a couple of tables on the sidewalk with a gazebo. It is very poor for the standard that this chain is supposed to have. If I had paid less than 50 dollars a night I would have understood that the accommodation would be so simple. But it seems to me that it is a scam for what they charge. They force you to book with a guaranteed credit card no matter what and when you arrive you realize that it's not worth staying there for that money and you don't want to leave either because they charge you a punitive minimum of one night for canceling before 24 hours I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

I was thinking about just one place to sleep, but it was incredible, clean, wonderful professionals and the location doesn't even mention it. I will definitely be back 😜☺️
