Great stay, fantastic facilities and staff!

The staff and facilities were great. Top notch as expected from a Selina. The rooms were extremely spacious and comfy.

Decepcionante

A localização.

O Selina da Lapa possui um ambiente sombrio, os funcionários são mal humorados e nada acolhedores, exceto o Gabriel, que foi muito atencioso, os demais deveriam fazer um treinamento sobre atendimento ao cliente. Há um fluxo muito grande de pessoas, o que me deixou bastante insegura. Não é um ambiente familiar. A limpeza do quarto se resumia unicamente à retirada do lixo que estava na lixeira. Não há frigobar e nem TV no quarto.

Foi uma experiência bem legal, super diferente. Voltarei.

Localização ótima, bem central pra quem quer curtir o Rio. O quarto De Luxe é bem confortável, espaçoso e moderno. O hotel é um charme, mas alguns detalhes precisam melhorar se quiser atingir a excelência. O The Rooftop, que tem uma programação bem legal e uma vista linda do Centro da Cidade.

Café da manhã é bem bom, mas é meio confuso pedir e ser servido, falta um pouco de organização na logística. O blackout do quarto não bloqueia toda a luz de manhã (não cobre tudo) e o ar condicionado é um pouco barulhento. Os quartos De Luxe, por serem mais caros e amplos, deviam ser em andares mais altos, para minimizar o barulho.

Muy buena experiencia

Es un lugar bastante bohemio y concurrido. Tienen mucha variedad de servicios. Se siente un ambiente bastante jovial y las habitaciones son bastantes amplias. se nota que va mucha gente porque tienen un buen sistema de seguridad, desde cámaras, personal y ascensores. Muy moderno también.

El personal, el muchacho que me hizo el check-In parecía no estar muy contento con trabajar en el sitio. Si necesitabas algo, todo lo hacía como por obligación. No va para nada con la temática y el ambiente que se siente en el lugar.

Hostel de luxe

L'ambiance et le personnel très agréable! L'intimité de chacun dans les chambres.

Il faudrait mettre des rideaux foncés entre les lits qui sont collés l'un à l'autre. En effet, lorsque que le voisin laisse sa lumière allumée toute la nuit, le rideau blanc reflète la lumière. Ce n'est vraiment pas agréable.

Indico para passeios de negócio ou para eventos sem crianças!

Fui coma família que gostou da pegada moderna, achei vaga por perto para estacionar o carro! Check in rápido, movimentado e muito turístico, eventos no rooftop com DJ anima o passeio!

Não tinha frigobar no quarto que fiquei e nem de o café da manhã ser a parte!

Retorno a um lugar que se tornou especial

O clima dos hospedes As festas do hostel Os funcionários sempre atenciosos, amigos e prestativos

Reformas e algumas coisas que não estavam funcionando Limpeza no quarto deixou um pouco a desejar. Os armários estavam com muita poeira assim como em alguns cantos e debaixo das beliches.

No aspecto geral, gostei bastante.

No aspecto geral, gostei de tudo, a hospedagem sensacional, a localização perfeita, o hotel tem um visual interessante, o terraço é sensacional com uma vista linda dos Arcos da Lapa, show! 👏

Do café da manhã, achei que deixou a desejar, bem básico pelo valor que é, e também a limpeza do banheiro, ( nada tão absurdo) mas precisa dar uma caprichada nos azulejos!

Good for one Night!

Location is nice. Right next to Arcos da Lapa and 3min walking to Escadaria Selarón. Also several bars and restaurants close by. Even at night time you can walk outside to/from the bar area. The rooftop bar is quite fun and frequently visited by outside customers. So you can get a glimpse of Rio's nightlife even without leaving the hotel.

Big issues with cleanliness. It was simply dirty at all common areas. Rooms are better in terms of cleanliness and bathrooms are quite new/clean, too. Still the dirt in the other areas doesn't make you feel relax and comfortable. Stuff is quite useless. Friendly on the first sight, but if you need something, you are on your own.

Perfeito.

De tudo. Desde os colaboradores até o espaço todo do hostel. Muito aconchego, segurança e boas energias. Pessoas extremamente educadas e atenciosas. Tudo muito limpo e organizado.

Não tem nada que eu não tenha gostado.

Incrível

Adorei o espaço, super bem decorado, parece casa de família,

Infelizmente a única coisa que não gostei foi a localização, consegui ir ao selina lapa porque foi o único que estava com quarto vazio quando me hospedei, mas tirando esse fato, selina lapa está de parabéns.

Good

Close to downtown, easy access to the main areas

When I got there I found out that booking.com put me in a shared room (up to 8 people). However, nothing was mentioned on my reservation. I had to pay extra money to change the type of room I'd be in.

It’s fine for younger crowd or a night to sleep. The room itself is good, the facilities and breakfast are bad.

The location is convenient to visit downtown Rio or US embassy. The room is fine with nice shower. we found a few hairs in the bed sheets, but it’s to be expected for this price.

kitchen is filthy with dishes piling up for two days, dirty microwave, greasy tables. The breakfast took 1.5 hours to be served and was completely cold - probably two day old omelette and some fruits. We decided not to risk another food poisoning in Brazil and did not eat it.

It was fabulous and I am hoping I’ll finally get to try the welcome drink next time haha

Loved Debora at the front desk, not only is she friendly, she’s also attentive even during people checking in and out en masse all day every day. All the other staff are great too, most understood basic English but would definitely help if you speak Spanish or Portuguese

At times the food could be a little on the pricer side in Rio even though the dishes are usually flavourful, the team are amazing with food and service, but occasionally the service staff are serving a lot of people so there is usually a semi long wait for food and service.

Great location, great ambience

The hostel had a great ambience, in a lovely old building. The room was good. Location was perfect, just round the corner from the Seralon steps and close to the tram stop to Santa Teresa. We found a good vegan restaurant just nearby. This is definitely a party area, with lots of people enjoying the music and partying.

We used the kitchen, but the facilities were not very good. There was only one or two knives, forks, not many plates and a few saucepans. Also, it was not very clean. Most people seemed to have breakfast in the on-site cafe though.

Not bad

The building is very beautiful, new and well decorated. The rooms are very comfortable. Be able to party on the roof top with DJ's and the ideal location compared to the surrounding bars👌

A receptionist was not friendly or very competent, the kitchen equipment was disappointing because no cup or good kitchen knives, the card system has bugged several times.

Passable

The people are just awesome! The service was 10/10. The lobby is great, bar is good, rooftop is nice, all shared areas are pretty good. All good but the rooms

The room, and specially bathroom, were a mess. Everything is thin, beds, floor, walls.. so you hear noises and and the light comes through everywhere. The bathroom didn't have hot water, was not cleaned daily and the soap and shampoo were not refilled. Also no tawells etc. I not it's a hostel, but they gotta do better

Passable

I liked the facilities and the atmosphere in the common areas, plus the nights with DJs on the rooftop. Breakfast was good.

I did not like the rooms. I tried two of those shared rooms and they smell like mold, even the bed curtains were visibly full of mold in room 101. The air is dense, and the AC is not enough to refrigerate the entire room (room 108). They also only give you a sad sheet, there is no comforter. Plus the bathroom was very dirty. It’s a very expensive and we’ll known hotel, they should work on improving their rooms instead of just focusing on external appearances. It was very disappointing in that sense, and I will never come back do Selina Lapa.

the Style and accommodations are pretty nice

you will not be able to go to bed before 11pm as the Rooftop has activities up until that time and it’s pretty loud. but you can go to the rooftop and enjoy too!
