About Stone of a Beach
Internet Access Breakfast Included 24 hour reception
Situated in the heart of Copacabana (safe area) no more than 5 minutes walk to the world famous beach, our hostel is vibrant, cultural and as laid-back as the lifestyle of the city of Rio!
The signature roof terrace is a large open area, during the day it is perfect for topping up your tan while lazing in a hammock or deck chair and colling off every now and again with a dip in the splash pool. At night it transforms into lively bar environment where something is always happening, whether it be bbq's, woodoven pizzas or capoeira presentations, it is the perfect place to start your evenings entertainment. Great place to make friends and decide where to head later in the night.
There are plenty options, right next door there is Clandestino bar, a place where travellers and locals gather to enjoy the finest beats with flavours of hip-hop, reggae and soul. If you feel like exploring more of Rio's amazing nightlife Lapa neighbourhood is not far and we offer a range of guided tours such as 'favela funk party' and 'samba rehearsal'. We also have connections with the best nightclubs & live music bars in Rio - if there is something going on we will know about it!
All rooms are air-conditioned! A spacious TV room with cable and a wide range of DVDs for escaping the sun or in case you need to nurse a hangover is available too.
In the morning free breakfast is served until midday including juices, ham, bread, fruit, cakes, bread, pancakes, cheese and fresh brazilian coffee!
Before you hit the beach you can rent bikes, surfboards or volley/football from us so you can make the most of your day!
If you feel like exploring we offer a selection of tours with pick up from the hostel: Favela tour (highly recommended), Christ the Redeemer, city tour, Ilha Grande paradise island, Maracana football stadium, hand-gliding, hiking, rock climbing, surfing, liteboarding and many more on request plus Boat parties every week with live DJ, beautiful weather, amazing swimming spots and all you can eat and drink!

Directions
FROM AIRPORT:
The best and easiest option is to take a taxi. Depending on the time, it should cost between 40-60 Reais.
Directions for Taxi: Simply show or tell the driver our street address and they will know where to go. We´re on the corner with the street - 'Rua Duvivier'.
A cheaper option is the ´Real´ bus. Walk out of the arrivals lounge, take a right past the waiting taxis and look out for the aiport bus stop. It costs around 6 Reais & the driver speaks english. It goes along the main beach road of Copacabana - 'Avenida Atlantica' . Ask to stop at 'Hotel International' or 'Rua Duvivier' (street name). Walk up this street (Rua Duvivier) two blocks and turn right onto 'Rua Barata Ribeiro'.
We´re the second building on the right.
FROM BUS STATION:
Again the best and easiest option is to take a radio taxi from just outside the bus station. You pay a fixed fee at the counter. It will cost about 40 Reais to get to Copacabana.
Directions for taxi: Simply show or tell the driver our street address in Copacabana and they will know. We´re on the corner with steet - 'Rua Duvivier'.
Another option is to take the ´Real´ Bus from in front of the bus station. It´s cheaper but takes much longer. It costs 4 Reais & the driver speaks English. Walk past the taxi rank just outside the station & wait for the bus at the side of the road opposite. They run every 15 minutes and will stop on the main beach road (avenida atlantica). Ask to stop at 'Hotel International' or 'Rua Duvivier' (street name). Walk up this street (Rua Duvivier) two blocks and turn right onto 'Rua Barata Rebeiro'.
We´re the second building on the right.
Alternatively, walk over to the other side of the station and walk across the road, past the taxis, and catch any bus to 'Copacabana', most of which run along ´Rua Barata Ribeiro´.
Watch out for 'Rua Duvivier' on your left and get off there. You will see our place 2 buildings before this street.
Looking forward to welcoming you!!
