Overview
Welcome to Mellow Yellow, Rios biggest and best backpackers.
Created by backpackers, we provide everything you would expect from a first class hostel and much more besides.
This includes our famous bamboo bar, our 7 seater spa,& a swipe card security system, & the godsend that is our chillout lounge.
As well as this, being just one block from the most famous of all beaches, Copacabana, the location can not be beaten either.
We have also recently been rated the best hostel in Rio by the telegraph and the best hostel in South America by the guardian, two of the most popular english newspapers
We are also recommended by the Lonely Planet, Footprint, Time Out and a number of other guides.
We are not the cheapest hostel but we do offer better value for money than any other. We provide the best tours at great value, free WIFI internet, a free nights stay in dorms(for 6+days), R$5 midweek discounts on all our dorm rooms, mellow yellow miles (see below), a free cocktail on arrival, and a great hostel breakfast for free.
Do not be fooled by cheaper hostels in other areas. You will spend the difference and a lot more on coming back and forth to copa night and day.
Whatever you look for in a hostel we fit the bill.
If you want to party we have the best hostel bar in Brasil, a pool room, weekly bbq parties, music playing throughout the hostel, live music at the bar, and the best trips and parties in Rio at the best prices.
If you are looking for culture we have capoeira shows, can organise samba & forro lessons, portuguese classes, and provide more information on whats going on in Rio than any other hostel.
If you just want to chill out, relax and save some cash then we offer great value for money, spacious secure dorms, a fully eqipped kitchen, a chillout lounge, a spa, a PS2 and a tv room with a selection of over 200 dvds.
