Le personnel est désagréable et nonchalant. On a réservé une activité (city tour payant 80 euros par personne) sur tout Rio. Ils ont annulé l’activité le jour même quand on est arrivé. Pas un message, pas d’appel et quand on est arrivé on nous a dit que c’était pas remboursable et pas reportable. C’est une vraie arnaque et ils ne font rien pour s’excuser.

12 bed room was horrible and hot. Bathrooms and room were filthy. Closed off the kitchen for new years so couldn’t get water. Questioned if I was a guest there even though I had my wrist band. Only female in a 12 bed dorm room. Thought they might spread genders out

they offer a transfer to isla grande and they charge you R$440 per person there and $440 to return back. Included is the transfer the van and the boat to Abraao beach. They use Easy Transfer Brasil. They told me they only charge R$190 per way so this hostel is taking huge advantage out of guests adding a 65-75% mark up for themselves. i understand 10 or 15% but this is digusting. Also the dorm beds are very u ncomfortable and the location is at the entrance to a favela and a girl get her phone s

We booked a 3 person room, but we got a room with a bed for 1,5 person and a matrass on the ground. The matress felt like plastic and were very thin. There was no more space to move around in the room, really small for 3 people. Als very noisy until late..

Terrible… we were 3 girls that was supposed to stay there. Saw the room and couldn’t get out fast enough. Was really uncomfortable and the room was not good. The area was also uncomfortable. If you are a girl don’t stay in mixed rooms definitely or just don’t stay there at al.

It's in a favela. Enjoy it! They don't allow you to cancel the reservation—why? Because it's a horrible place! There are lots of motorcycles rushing by, dirt everywhere... Inside, there are a lot of stairs to climb just to get in. The place smells like mold. And the breakfast? Old bread, cold coffee... You're even required to make your own bed and strip it when you check out. Really? Do they expect guests to clean the floors too? Avoid this place! And it's expensive on top of everything! There...

The hostel is past the entrance of a favela, so if you arrive late don’t expect your uber driver to take you up there. My driver made me get out and walk the last bit at 11:30 pm with all my stuff. Upon check-in the front desk worker “forgot about me,” and I stood around waiting for 10 minutes while they had a conversation with someone else. They also don’t tell you this anywhere high on their website but will expect a 10 Real deposit to get your key (and air con remote if you have a pri...

É hostel dos mais bem procurados da região com uma estrutura e organização, muito completo. Fica em uma rua tranquila de Copacabana de fácil acesso. A limpeza, o atendimento e o ambiente seguro deixa o ambiente mais leve pra quem busca um ambiente acolhedor. Tem bar, jogos, áreas sociais e costuma organizar passeios e integração entre hóspedes todos os dias.

Loved my stay at Pura Vida, it was the second time I returned. You make friends easily and they host activities every evening. Strongly recommend going to their dance classes! Staff is fantastic, Emilia especially at the reception was incredibly welcoming and willing to help with any question. Overall a great stay that is highly recommended!

la ubicación es buena cerca de la playa de Copacabana,hay mucho comercio lo malo es que al llegar al lugar el Uber no te deja en la puerta porque no pueden subir ya que está a una falavela pero no es mucho lo que te toca subir es una subida y el timbre para que te habrán la puerta deberían hacerlo más abajo porque como dos compañeras son bajitas y no alcanzan, las habitacion de las más es bueno pero es muy estrecho de una cama de la otra. el ambiente muy buena integración

Traducido al inglés

the location is good near Copacabana beach,there is a lot of commerce the bad thing is that when you get to the place the Uber does not let you in the gate because they can't get up as it is at a falavela but it is not much what you have to get up is a climb and the bell for which you will have the door should be lower because as two companions are small and do not reach, the accommodation of the most is good but it is very narrow from one bed to the other. the atmosphere very good integration

Buen spot si viajas solo en Río. El staff es súper amable, sobretodo el excelente y cálido trato de Mateo, 10/10 estrellas para él. El ambiente es muy social, literal haces amigos fácil sin esfuerzo. Me hicieron upgrade de habitación y fue lo mejor que me pasó. Además, desayunar aquí es práctico y barato, lo cual suma bastante si quieres moverte sin complicarte. En general, buena vibra y fácil para conectar con gente. Volvería.

Also, breakfast here is practical and cheap, which adds up quite a bit if you want to move around without complicating things. In general, good vibe and easy to connect with people. I would return.
