the people at the hostel were very friendly and helpful. We surely enjoyed our stay there. It felt like a home away from home.

We cannot recommend this place enough..stayed here when we arrived in Rio, went back to stay there twice. Huge old rustic house, serious character, big rooms, high ceilings, rootop with 360deg view of cristo & bay. Kitchen is perfect for cooking own meals, free internet and pool.

Huge old rustic house, serious character, big rooms, high ceilings, rootop with 360deg view of cristo & bay. Kitchen is perfect for cooking own meals, free internet and pool. Supermarket, metro and busstops at bottom of hill(hill is steep but not the worst).Stay here if you want to chill out.close

The rooms are in a lovely part of the house and you feel like you're in a family home rather than a hostel. The walk up the hill is a killer and you have to catch a tube into Copacobana, but Flamingo beach is near by. Not in the party part of town.

The hostal is on top of a hill in Gloria barrio. It requires a 5-10min uphill walk, but compensates you with a great view over Guanabara Bay. Very clean rooms and bathroom, very good breakfast. Gloria barrio is safe and between Centro and beaches, metro and buses in walking distance. We can... more The hostal is on top of a hill in Gloria barrio.

Rocking Rio.... What else are there to say, and what better place to do it than BaronGarden! you have the view, you have the pool, and you have the cold beer in the fridge! A Happy New year from Toke and Ghita

Nice quiet place to get to grips with the sometimes intense Rio. Dag and Mabella were always ready to help. and they serve a great breakfast

We really enjoyed staying here. Patricia made us very welcome and even arranged our carnaval tickets for us. It has all the facilities. A very good hostel to stay at if you are fit and can manage the hill!!! A nice neighbour hood too with everything you want.

Baron Garden is a really good place to stay if you want to be out of the Copacobana/Ipenema fast lane. Nice building, pool, great views and great manager. The walk up the hill (or taxi) is the only minor inconvenience.

This place has heaps of potential - just need to adapt a little more to help accomodate travellers as well as holidaymakers!

Good for adventurers, who prefer Rio "centro" rather than "zona sul". Charming old property - however bathroom situation can be improved. Not for scaredy-cats or milquetoasts, who are already afraid when hearing fire bullets at night from nearby favela. The hosts assured that... more Good for adventurers, who prefer Rio "centro" rather than "zona sul". Charming old property - however bathroom situation can be improved.
