Socialtel Lapa Rio de Janeiro

Location is great, in the heart of lapa. Stones throw from Santa Teresa & tiled steps. Breakfast could have been better,Staff were pretty good. Had an early check-in, which was nice. Unique room on front of hotel overlooking square. Roof top has great views but the Menu downstairs is way better, lively place at the weekends. Welcome drink is nice touch, but didn’t use. Gave token to guest on my check out. It felt a Safe area.

It's not our first stay in Rio. We knew Lapa, Gloria. We intentionally decided to choose these location. To be able to reach to the most of touristic location on foot or public transport. But the hotel is amazing, very friendly, amazing service, everything is well organized. We loved the commune spaces, that the hotel provides. They even have cinema and communal kitchen, with amazing garden area. We stayed with a big family of 6 people and a pet. The rooms were fresh, clean and had everything we needed. And the price was very friendly too.

The facility is great. It’s quite clean and has great activities.

“Had a great stay at Selina Lapa Rio! The location in Lapa is fantastic, with lots of bars and restaurants nearby, plus easy access to the metro. The room and the entire hostel were big, clean, and well-kept. The rooftop bar is nice, although it had a quieter vibe during our stay, with more working professionals since it’s also a coworking space. Overall, a very good experience at a reasonable price, and it’s just a 20-minute metro ride or affordable Uber to reach Ipanema and Copacabana beaches!”

The hotel is really nice, with very friendly staff, an amazing breakfast, and a fantastic location! You are right at the door of Lapa, the most lively neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, and within walking distance of Santa Teresa, Rua do Ouvidor, Paço Imperial, and Fundação Banco do Brasil. If you want to experience another side of Rio beyond Copacabana, it’s well worth it! There are plenty of nice restaurants around, and the rooftop is beautiful.
