My first hostel experience was during my stay at the Ipanema Beach House in Ipanema. I really didn’t know what to expect but I was excited about staying at a hostel but I’m cheap so I was motivated by the price of $25 per night also. Ipanema Beach House was a great choice with its perfect location, two blocks from Ipanema Beach. The two-story hostel was the perfect size and had great amenities. IBH has a pool, bar, 24-hour cyber café, all you can eat breakfast, guest kitchen to cook your own food, transfer from airport and 24 hour security.
