| Property descriptionVERY IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you want to book for NYE 2010 or Carnival 2011, please read carefully at the bottom of this page. Do not try to modify dates of the package. Your booking will not be accepted.
Bookings made for August-November-2010 including local holyday is elegible for a promotion of 5 nights you pay you get an extra night for FREE out of your reservation (DO NOT book your night for free here). This promotion is valid for all bookings paying 30 reais or more per night. It means that you have to pay a minimum of 150 reais total per person to get this promotion. The free night is available wherever we have a bed at the hostel. It is also valid for private rooms.
We have attractive prices because we have so many beds to be filled every night... so it is better to have a small price with a guest on our bed than a big price with an empty bed! That´s why we are focused for those on a budget. Check our reviews to see how nice our staff, security and location (you are in the middle of everywhere) are! Be sure you will enjoy!
Bring a flag from your country and get a night for free out of your booking/reservartion dates through this site wherever we have a bed available. Size should be 60 x 80 cm or bigger to be elegible for the promotion.
Only flags, no bookings, no night for free!
Do you want to be right in the heart of Rio de Janeiro´s post card (Sugar Loaf & Christ, one metro stop away from Copacabana) and everything else? Ace Backpacker's Youth Hostel is conveniently located close to everything and is the best deal for budget travelers. Our staff is friendly and always willing to take you out on the town and regarding the security, we bet we are the safest in town!
Free stuff:
Breakfast*, coffee and tea, sheets, WI-FI connection, popcorn (just in case you get a craving while watching a movie), kitchen with a microwave, fridge, etc (you can cook, really!), lockers (bring your padlock or buy one here), a really amazing view of the Christ from our veranda, travel information, pool table and great , really great conversation.
*breakfast starts at 7:00 (during Carnival much earlier woohoo!), not 9:30 like many others, so you can get an early start on your day!
FEMALE DORMS - fantastic discount price for May 2010. Book now!
Security:
Well, it's easier to break out of some prisons in Brazil than it is for a stranger to get into the hostel: Just check our security ratings!
We have a person at the front desk 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We have security cameras and two locking doors on the way in. It might seem like a bit much, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Because of this our hostel is perfect for girls traveling alone, but guys are very welcome here also: Mainly the handsome ones.
Price:
We have excellent prices on dorms, single rooms or double rooms. We are the most popular hostel in Rio de Janeiro! Do not be afraid to book a bed in the large dorm: It's a quiet and spacious room on the 2nd floor with plenty of toilets and showers. No worries!
We also have better prices for groups of 20+ people: Ask about our discounts!
Comfort:
We have 17 showers and 70 beds!!! Need to take a shower? Now worries! No waiting. All private rooms and the majority of the dorms (except the budget ones) have air conditioning (highly recommended during summer!).
We use 2 tier bunk-beds instead of 3 (common in many places in RIo) with very good mattresses. The sheets are clean and fresh. You will be in a comfortable, clean, well located, and safe hostel with a fantastic staff.
Our promise to you: If you book a certain room you get it, or if for some reason we don't have it, we'll give you an upgrade for free!
Cleanliness:
What is a good hostel without housekeeping? The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily!
Cheap means dirty? Of course not!!! Fleas, cockroaches, mites, bed bugs and ants? No, thanks! We work with the best company in Rio that fumigates the place monthly. We guarantee you won't have trouble with insects or bugs here even though this winter (in Brazil of course!) has been hot!
Location:
The best location for the best price...We are one block from the metro (30 meters), a two minute walk to Botafogo beach, one metro station from Copacabana, two blocks from a super market and only one block to Botafogo Shopping Mall.
In front of the mall you can take a bus to anywhere in the city: Copacabana, Ipanema, Botanical Gardens, Leblon, Santa Teresa, Lapa and downtown Rio are all less than 20 minutes away. You can also get a bus to or from the International Airport and the Bus Station.
We are located on one of the main streets in Botafogo, but the closest bars, clubs or pool halls are at least one block away: So you won't need to worry about noise or music pumping at 1am.
Fun:
If you like parties... this is where to start your trip. We have a bar with sound equipment where you can plug in your iPod and be the DJ or let someone else take over. A pool table is available to use for free and the beer is cheap. The space is free so make the party you want! Thank God... It's Friday night. Rio´s best nightlife is in Lapa. Everybody including the staff head out for a night of dancing in the streets!
If you're looking for something a little more laid back, there's a television with plenty of movies and we are more than happy to book tours around the city for you.
Staff:
This is hard to explain. We have, tall, short, fat, thin, blond, brunette... just joking...
But... We have Moe (a kind of young Mom) who usually takes care of you if you get sick, sunburned or if you want to eat some popcorn and watch a movie, or if you're cold she'll make you some tea, or she'll cover you with a blanket when you come back late at night and fall asleep on the sofa after you've had a few beers.
When you come back to the hostel after a long walk around town or from the beach, there is always a great atmosphere in our hostel, so if you like to socialize with others and bring positive vibes to share, then we recommend you stay here. Our Hostel is for all types of travelers and the only one in Rio de Janeiro declared gay friendly. We have a great and safe location, helpful staff and a price that can't be beat.
Ace Backpackers is a fine example of a "home away from home".
Price promise:

The bookings where you pay less than R$20.00 per person per night do not include breakfast and have a minimum stay of 3 nights.
