Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at Babilonia Rio, I found the value proposition quite intriguing. The hostel offers a simple, yet clean accommodation with friendly staff who go the extra mile in making guests feel welcome. The location, though a bit challenging to reach due to the steep hill and narrow streets, provides a unique perspective of Rio de Janeiro.The facilities, such as the shared kitchen and laundry services, cater to the basic needs of travelers. However, the lack of certain amenities like ironing facilities and welcome drinks might deter some guests looking for a more luxurious experience. The hostel's charming terrace with views of Copacabana is a definite highlight, offering a relaxing space to unwind after a day of exploring.Babilonia Rio strikes a balance between affordability and comfort, making it a suitable choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking a genuine experience in Rio's Leme Favela.
