My stay at Villa 25 was overall fantastic, thanks to its great location and the welcoming atmosphere created by the staff, especially Luciano the manager! However, the thin walls made it a bit noisy at times, and the cleaning service could be more straightforward.

I stayed in a 6-bed mixed dormitory room. The beds were kinda uncomfortable, but the powerful hot showers were a real treat! The room was comfortable enough, even if it had thin walls, which made it hard to nap sometimes.

The swimming pool was nice for cooling off, and the common bathrooms were cleaned regularly. However, there could be improvements in sectioning the hotel and restaurant services, as they don’t always mesh well.

I had a pretty good time at Villa 25, thanks to its great ambiance and location near the Santos Dumont airport. The vibe felt chill, and I loved being close to shops and eateries. The beds in the dorms were okay, and while the showers were amazing, the shared bathrooms could use some cleaning and maintenance. Overall, it was a solid stay!

Staying at Villa 25 was a good experience overall. The location was fantastic, close to the metro and key tourist spots, making it easy to get around. However, I did find the dorm room a bit cramped, with thin walls that made it hard to get a good night's sleep sometimes. The amenities are great, especially the breakfast, but some aspects of the room could use improvement.

I stayed in a 6-bed mixed room, and while the bed was typical hostel fare, I loved the hot, powerful showers. However, the room felt snug due to the three levels of bunk beds and thin walls, which led to noise from neighboring rooms.
