es un sitio lindo, algo apretado, no tiene mucho espacio para socializar más que una salita y unas mesas donde se puede trabajar o comer. me habían dicho que tenía desayuno buffet cuando me lo recomendaron pero al llegar no tenía. tristemente cobran R$20 por guardarte las maletas el dia de salida, y R$40 si adicional a eso quieres bañarte

The hostel is close to the Copacabana and especially the guys at the reception are amazingly friendly and helpful! The hostel organizes small activities. I extended my stay. Only thing: the rooms are very tiny and there is not a lot of place for example to dry clothes. Also the AC during the night is pretty cold. All in all: I definitely recommend staying here!

There are bed bugs in the hostal!!! I stayed 8-people dorm and disvovered 3 of them in my bed after having slept 3hours. I then spent the rest of the night in a chair next to the reception. Even downstairs I discovered 2 more bugs. I tried to get a refund for the night, but the said that they couldn‘t to it because I booked through Hostelworld. They also told me that they have had problema with bed bugs befor and that they just definfected to hostal a week ago. Complete nonsense.

Great location. About a 10-15 minute walk to apoadar beach with cafes all around. Not a social hostel. Was quite clean though. The dorm rooms r quite cramped though.

Good location, does the job, bathrooms not the cleanest but always hot water. Wish there were laundry facilities and better use of the kitchen. Augusto was great with activities and loved the caipirinha workshop! Breakfast was good but tea and coffee basically inaccessible after.

El lugar me parece a buen precio a cambio de lo que ofrecen, la ubicación es buena. El único detalle sería que las áreas comunes son muy pequeñas.

La ubicacion es buena porque esta a unos metros del metro, aunque hay que caminar un poquito mas para la playa. Sistema de seguridad est muy buena. Senti que el lugar es limpio. Pero los cuartos en general tiene espacio. Lo que no me gusto era el hecho que las camas parecian fragiles. Tenia que dormir en la cama de arriba/bajar, y para subir no tenia donde agarrarme + si yo me movia, sentia que todo se movia y hacia riudo. Playa cerca, pero no taaaan cerca (para no no era un problema)

Unfortunately, I also have to report bed bugs! I spent one night in a hostel and the next day my whole body was itching. Afterwards, I wrote to the hostel directly. They didn't believe me and I quote: “The hostel has been fully booked for the last three days without any complaints.” I wouldn't be proud if no one had complained in three days—I'm complaining right now!

Sadly had a very bad experience in this hostel. The place felt overall quite clean but I found bed bugs in my sheets. Not particularly blaming the hostel but maybe the cleaner, but I left straight away once I saw them. The hostel refused to refund my stay which concluded this stay on a very bad note. I would stay away from it.

Owner is money-hungry and careless about guest safety. I was bitten ~80 times by bed bugs my first night. Vinny at reception was great and concerned, but the owner dismissed the bugs even when shown. Another unused bed also had bed bugs. Despite this, the room stayed in use. Guests who overheard got moved; new arrivals weren’t warned. No sign of cleaning or treatment. The owner refused a refund, claiming there was “no evidence” of bed bugs.
