The staff was so nice, I loved the private bathrooms.

Stayed in March 2025

The bathrooms are maintained as possible by the cleaners that work very hard, but the toilets are often blocked and the showers and shower mats are dirty

Great location. Good security gates. 24/7 reception.

The location is great, we were near supermarkets, restaurants, ipanema beach, copacabana beach and arpoador stone, a nice place to watch the sunset. The hostel is lovely, very clean, and we booked a private suite so we were very comfortable. The bed was huge and we slept well. The shower has good water pressure, the sink not so much. Even tho the room was nice, it was a 3rd floor and there is no elevator so i wouldn’t recommend it so much for people with mobility issues, baggage bigger than a carry-on or elderly folks. The staff is SO friendly and kind, there is someone at the reception desk 24/7 to help you with anything. They also helped us get our carry on up the stairs. The kitchen is a bit small and you can’t cook much, you can only boil water. You can store some things in the fridge if you tag it and find a place, which is convenient.

Nothing

We were looking for a well located, comfortable place to stay in Rio that could accommodate a family. We definitely found it with this hostel. A very reasonable price and located well for everything we wanted to do. Staff were always on hand and always helpful.

Not the most comfortable stay but good value for money in a very expensive City

We only spent one night and Stayed in a private room. The room was clean but no hot water in the shower The staff was helpful

- Bunk shelf was flimsy and inclined, my stuff and bunkmate's stuff kept falling down - A/C is pretty loud (FYI) although not a problem for me because I had earplugs - Because it's near a beach, it feels like there's always sand/humidity on everything including the beds right up until the A/C has been turned on (around 9PM) for some time

- Location was perfect -> beach, metro, restaurants, cafes steps away and area felt pretty safe (FYI traffic is crazy around) - Amenable to morning beach swims - Showers are very modern and clean - Cleaning staff goes through the showers and bunk rooms every day - Lots of cool interesting people at the hostel and nearby bars

The bed furniture (curtains, lamps..) are not the best anymore and would deserve some renovation. 8-bed-dorm tiny.

Very helpful and friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere! Perfect location for all rio visitors who are not looking for the big party-hostels. Perfect location in Ipanema!

One member of the staff was unfriendly and rude

Clean and nice

The kitchen situation - don't advertise a shared kitchen available if you then insist on guests only using the stove top to boil water and nothing else.. ridiculous rules. I've been living in hostels for over 2 years and that was a first for me. Either open the kitchen up for full use or close it for guests and remove it as an available facility in the description

Clean and comfortable beds, staff were friendly, decent showers, good location

One of the best hostels I've been in Rio, the location is very handy for being close to the metro. Very clean and neat. The staff was very friendly

1. No curtains on the top bunks, even though the bottom bunks had it. So I had no privacy and protection from somebody shining light at odd hours 2. The hostel needs to institute and enforce quite hours. In my dorm room, daily two girls would come back in the middle of the night (~3am) and make a lot of noise, and go in and out several times at that time, waking me up every single night. 3. The dorm room is pretty small and gets crowded, especially if someone has their bag outside. 4. Wasn't a social hostel, with limited interactions with others in common spaces or any social activities. Whereas, other backpackers I met in Rio, some of their hostels had regular social activities organized which helped them with making friends, and going to parties together. The hostel should consider having social activities/gatherings. 5. I didn't opt to take the breakfast as it seemed pricey at $6 per day for bread, cheese, ham, fruits, and cake. No eggs even. But I soon found out that that's the breakfast you'd find at most Brazilian hostels, surprisingly! 6. Wifi was decent but patchy when it rained. One of the days it was also down for a bit when it was raining.

1. Staff was very helpful and spoke good english, offered valuable suggestions whenever asked, especially Eduardo. 24 hr reception! 2. Great location - ~10 mins walk to Copacabana beach, ~15 mins walk to Ipanema beach, and a metro station just around the corner, a small restaurant around the corner as well which remains open till midnight, quite safe 3. Bathrooms were kept clean 4. Water filter to fill water bottles, and not waste plastic and money to buy water bottles

Smell from the canal in the bathroom. We had to keep the door closed and you can still feel it a bit.

Lovely location, very close to metro and at the same time to both Copacabana and Ipanema. It was clean and quiet hostel. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We were in a dorm in a bunk bed. Unfortunately the AC was directed at our beds, it is always on at night. Make sure to get a bed not directly below or you might get sick.

Great hostel, with cool tours to join. We did the hike to Dois Irmaos. We rode a moto through a favela and at the top went for a quite moderate difficulty of a hike. Take plenty of water as the views at the top are worth it! Matheus was great 👍🏽 make sure to get breakfast as well at the hostel, it was very tasty! We could leave the luggage after check-out and take a shower before our flight which was great. Highly recommend the hostel!
