Pura Vida Hostel
Rua Saint Roman, 20, Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, CEP 22071-060, Brazil – Great location - show map
I loved everything about Pura Vida...they had everything! I love the breakfasts and the meals they provide throughout the day for a fee. They have a bar that I really love, it’s a good spot to meet other travelers and have a good time drinking with them! I had some good times! I love the tours and activities they provide for guests. I was able to explore Rio because of that. The staff here are very nice and helpful with everything. I met the owners Felipe and Dalton and they were very nice guys. Overall I enjoyed my time here and wished I could stay longer. I’ve created some good memories here.
