Orla Pampulha Hostel
Dorms and a pool a short walk from Pampulha Lake
Ribeirao das Neves
About this stay
Orla Pampulha Hostel keeps its dorms and private rooms unfussy, built around a guest kitchen and an outdoor pool rather than a polished lobby. It sits two minutes from Avenida Otacilio Negrao de Lima, the road that traces Pampulha Lake, and a nine-minute walk from Chopp da Fabrica for an evening meal. The Mineirao stadium is a short public transport ride away, which makes this a workable base for match days as well as a lakeside stay. Air conditioning, a fitness center, a bar and restaurant round out the amenities, and the property is tagged kid-friendly, which is unusual for a hostel in this price range. Confins airport runs about thirty-five minutes away by taxi, considerably longer by public transport. Guests who have compared it against nearby options tend to mention that difference first.

Our take
Orla Pampulha Hostel sits by Pampulha Lake in Belo Horizonte, close to the Mineirão stadium, and mixes dorm beds with private rooms around a guest kitchen and an outdoor pool. Breakfast and WiFi are free, and 919 reviews average 9. I would recommend it to backpackers and football fans on a budget who want the lake and the stadium within easy reach.
- ✓Book the outdoor pool access into your plans on a hot day, since it is one of the strongest reasons to choose this hostel.
- ✓Walk to Chopp da Fabrica for dinner rather than taking a taxi, since it is only nine minutes on foot.
- ✓Reserve a private room well ahead if privacy matters, since dorm beds fill first at this rating level.
Why we love it
