Urca

R$50–100

The Carioca Easy Hostel (Rua Marechal Cantuaria 168, Urca, tel. 21/2295-7805, www.cariocahostel.com.br [1], R$35–40 pp, R$110 d) is a well-maintained hostel that allows guests the rare privilege of staying in residential Urca [2]. Although the dorm rooms are small, the hostel itself—housed in a pink villa whose immediate backdrop is Pão de Açúcar [3]’s rocky facade—has polished wood floors, a small pool, and a pleasant garden.
