One of the best hostels! The dining options were great, the room clean, guard on duty (it's Brazil....). Pretty building. I was able to walk everywhere I needed to go.
Corinne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff are wonderfully helpful (and speak English!). They accommodated an early check in for us and allowed us to store our bags after check out due to a late departing flight. Definitely recommend!

They have a bar on the rooftop with DJ, magnificent view of Lapa in the night, sometimes they close the bar at 10:30pm, you have a welcome drink from 5:00pm to 5:30pm so don't be late.

I liked that the staff was very accommodating and it was easy to find but I didn't like that YOU HAD TO LABEL FOOD OR DRINKS OR THEY GET THROWN OUT!

It’s a awesome hotel they have a kitchen so you can cook and save money a library my room didn’t have hot water but maybe that’s normal in Brazil the area is kinda scary to walk around at night but in the day time is pretty safe

Standard Selina in not the best area. Nice rooftop bar, helpful staff. Small dorm for 8, no towel provided.

Good location & nice staff
The staff were super lovely and the property is in a good location. The rooms are nice but I think we were just a bit unfortunate to get one without a working extractor fan which made the room a bit damp and smelly... we did let them know but we were only there for a short time! Wifi was good Kitchen could do with a few more spoons!

4/10 Fair

Not so good
Unwelcoming registration. No information given, just a sheet to fill in and then you're on your own ! The morning staff were nicer than the evening staff. Breakfast was unremarkable and not very tasty. I think there was a water infiltration problem in the 3rd floor, and the whole floor smelled of damp including the room, it was horrible. As I only stayed one night, I didn't complain. The hotel is well located, right in the center, but in the evening it's not very safe in the surrounding streets.

8/10 Very good

I like the room. It was thoughtfully decorated and very clean. I didn’t find the staff very helpful or pleasant. It was like I was bothering them whenever I’d ask for information. It was the other guests who helped me when needed. The kitchen only had 2 spoons, no bowls, and 2 cups. I think it’s important to let people know that the Lapa area, at least near the hotel, has a lot of homelessness and people addicted to substances. I think having a Welcome Session to inform guests about the property, location, and public transportation options would be very helpful.
Akanke, 8-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hostel is a disgrace! I chose it specifically for its coworking space, but my experience has been a nightmare. The first night, I couldn't sleep due to loud toilet pipes at 3 AM. The second night, a man repeatedly tried to enter my room from 9 PM to 3 AM, leaving me terrified. Despite the supposed 24/7 reception, they were unresponsive. Now, Selina is refusing to refund me for the remaining stay, despite Expedia advising me to leave early. Avoid Selina at all costs.

Atenção as cobranças do restaurante
Tive uma experiência razoável no hotel, mas com alguns pontos que poderiam ser melhorados. No check-in, não me passaram todas as informações necessárias, como o horário de funcionamento do restaurante, o que gerou alguns inconvenientes. Outro ponto de atenção são as cobranças no restaurante do hotel. Em todas as oportunidades, o valor do serviço foi cobrado de forma excessiva, chegando a mais de 20% do total do pedido. Recomendo que os hóspedes fiquem atentos a isso. Por outro lado, o tamanho do quarto é bom, o banheiro também é espaçoso e funcional, e a cama bastante confortável. Além disso, o ambiente é silencioso, garantindo uma boa noite de sono. Se esses pontos fossem ajustados, a experiência poderia ser muito melhor.

Pontos negativos: Chegamos cheias de expectativas e, infelizmente, nos frustramos desde o primeiro dia. A limpeza do hotel no geral e, principalmente do quarto, deixa MUITO a desejar. Nítidas marcas no box, chão gorduroso, papel higiênico com a lateral suja. O lixo do banho quebrado, muito sujo. No box, além da péssima limpeza, também não tinha estrutura nenhuma para colocar sabonete ou shampoo. Outro ponto que achamos terrível foi o cheiro forte de esgoto que fica no banheiro e impregna no quarto. Nem mesmo abaixando a tampa do vaso amenizou - percebemos também que a água da caixa da privada já descia amarelada. Ficamos por 6 dias e solicitamos duas limpezas no quarto... Vimos nitidamente que somente trocaram as toalhas pq as deixamos no chão. De resto, só "maquiaram" o quarto. A pia continuou suja, tudo sujo. O hotel promete muito, tem uma estrutura linda mas está muito mal cuidado. A lâmpada do nosso quarto estava com problema e ficava fazendo barulho a noite toda. O café da manhã pago a parte na estadia não era buffet. Havia três opções de combo e bem fraco: bolo industrializado, pão de queijo ruim, mesmo suco todos os dias. Além disso, no primeiro dia assim como nós, vários hóspedes ficaram confusos com o serviço. Nenhum atendente explica como funciona! O único atendimento realmente bom foi da galera da recepção. Pontos positivos: A ducha é boa. Os DJs que tocaram eram bons. Fica a 10 min a pé do metrô. Boa segurança.
