If you are traveling on a budget and prefer a more social atmosphere, El Misti Hostel Ipanema is the best option for you. El Misti is one of the most famous hostels in Ipanema and it is the place I always recommend to friends looking for a hostel experience.

They offer shared rooms as well as private rooms and are located just one block away from the beach. El Misti has a very sociable environment, so it is a great fit for adventurers and outgoing travelers. They have a bar that can also be accessed by non-guests.
