This hostel was great! Really affordable and so close to Copacabana. The staff were lovely, Rapha really helped me out when I needed somewhere quiet to take a work call! Super close to lots of supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants etc. loads of bathrooms and showers which are cleaned everyday. We loved the big mirror in the bathroom for getting ready with the girls :) would definitely stay here again!

Séjour très décevant. En 2 nuits, mon lit a été défait et occupé en mon absence à deux reprises, j’ai dû changer de lit deux fois. Plus d’eau pendant une journée entière avec une énorme fuite non prise en charge par le staff : j’ai dû couper l’eau moi-même. Cartes de chambre qui fonctionnent une fois sur deux. Seul point positif : l’emplacement. Je ne recommande pas.

Ho prenotato anche la notte precedente il mio arrivo (6 AM in aeroporto) per riposare dopo un volo di 18h. Sono arrivato alle 7:00 in ostello, ma la prenotazione è stata cancellata per no-show nonostante la policy indicasse letto garantito fino alle 8:00. Mi è stato detto che il letto non era disponibile (nonostante la policy garantiva fino alle 8) e che il check-in era solo dalle 14:00, obbligandomi a prenotare di nuovo. Nessun rimborso e soldi Hostelworld trattenuti. Esperienza molto negativ...

Without a doubt, the worst hostel I've ever stayed at in my life and I've stayed in a lot. First it is very unsafe - a lot of the rooms have one set of plug socket between 6-8 people which or course get overloaded. Huge health and safety problem. The air conditioning in the room was causing coughs for everyone because of mold and dust circulating through dirty filters. The key cards NEVER work - you have got to reception about four times a day to get into your room. The staff tell white lies

Rude staff, need to queue at reception every time you want to re-enter your bedroom to reactivate your swipe card as the electronic locks need renewing. No social vibe at all. Beds without curtains, filthy mattresses, tiny kitchen, wear and tear of rooms and bathrooms need mega upgrade. Good location.

We loved this hostel so much that I came back twice. It is extremely clean, the beds are made every morning, and the room and bathroom are cleaned regularly. The location is perfect, just next to Copacabana beach, and everything you need is nearby. It’s a very lively street but at the same time safe and calm. Special mention to Raphaël, always there if you need anything, extremely kind and super friendly. We can’t wait to come back to Rio to stay again in this hostel, which is the most affo...

Ich habe mich wohl gefühlt, man kommt mit Karte in sein Zimmer, kann spontan morgens Frühstücksbuffet buchen, die Badezimmer sind ausreichend und werden regelmäßig gesäubert. Manchmal hat die Karte nicht funktioniert, was an der Rezeption wieder hergestellt werden konnte, aber etwas nervig war, wenn es öfter passiert ist.Mein Dorm hatte bei oberen Stockbetten keine Begrenzung , was ich persönlich nicht sehr mag, die Bettlaken verrutschen schnell.

Great location, staff were very friendly and the hostel provides many events to get involved in. The rooftop bar was a good perk. The kitchen was quite small for the number of people staying in the hostel so could be quite busy and hard to navigate.

Location great. Everything else rubbish. Rooms are crazy cramped with no plug sockets next to bed. Staff were unfriendly and toilets were often dirty.
