Brazil

“Good location in such a lively neighbourhood, satisfying cleanliness and a simple decent breakfast makes Mambembe a nice worthy choice. But nothing of that beats the staff. The staff group is beyond any compliment. Absolutely friendly, respectful...”

Yannick

Germany

“I loved the maze-like structure of the hostel, the quiet neighborhood and the great staff. Breakfast is perfect to connect with other guests. Be aware that the neighborhood is rather far from Copacabana / Ipanema, yet close to the nightlife...”

“Beautiful, dreamy building full of soul and good vibes. I felt relaxed from the moment I stepped inside. It’s a home away from home and I will return when I go back to Rio. The staff are lovely too.”
