About Stone of a Beach
The best for less. Situated in the heart of Copacabana no more than 5 minutes walk to the world famous beach, our hostel is vibrant, cultural and as laid-back as the lifestyle of the city of Rio!
Additional Information
Situated in the heart of Copacabana (safe area) no more than 5 minutes walk to the world famous beach, our hostel is vibrant, cultural and as laid-back as the lifestyle of the city of Rio!
The signature roof terrace is a large open area, during the day it is perfect for topping up your tan while lazing in a hammock or deck chair and colling off every now and again with a dip in the splash pool. At night it transforms into lively bar environment where something is always happening, whether it be bbq's, woodoven pizzas or capoeira presentations, it is the perfect place to start your evenings entertainment. Great place to make friends and decide where to head later in the night.
There are plenty options, right next door there is Clandestino bar, a place where travellers and locals gather to enjoy the finest beats with flavours of hip-hop, reggae and soul. If you feel like exploring more of Rio's amazing nightlife Lapa neighbourhood is not far and we offer a range of guided tours such as 'favela funk party' and 'samba rehearsal'. We also have connections with the best nightclubs & live music bars in Rio - if there is something going on we will know about it!
All rooms are air-conditioned! A spacious TV room with cable and a wide range of DVDs for escaping the sun or in case you need to nurse a hangover is available too.
In the morning free breakfast is served until midday including juices, ham, bread, fruit, cakes, bread, pancakes, cheese and fresh brazilian coffee!
Before you hit the beach you can rent bikes, surfboards or volley/football from us so you can make the most of your day!
If you feel like exploring we offer a selection of tours with pick up from the hostel: Favela tour (highly recommended), Christ the Redeemer, city tour, Ilha Grande paradise island, Maracana football stadium, hand-gliding, hiking, rock climbing, surfing, liteboarding and many more on request…plus Boat parties every week with live DJ, beautiful weather, amazing swimming spots and all you can eat and drink! We organise special Boat parties on New Year´s and Carnival time to warm up for the big celebrations!!!
Most importantly of all we've got great staff who will make everything as easy as possible for you. They are experienced, bilingual and have all the info you will need for Rio. Whatever doubt or question, they are here to help make your stay the best possible!

BEST HOSTEL EVER!!!!! William, from Canada ~ 31st Aug 2009
40%
The staff was very rude, thou i stayed for a 8 day straigh. The Blonde guy in the bar upstairs has a BIG attitude problem, and a massive chip on his shoulder. Also im pretty sure that someone in the staff tryed to scim my both visa and mastercard when i came back home. They where the only ones that was in contact with my credit cards. thou the dark security guard was nice thou. BUT BEWARE THE HOSTEL IS NEXT TO A DISCO THAT PLAYS ALMOST EVERY NITE VERY VERY LOUD.
