First time staying at a hostel, I was blown away by the view from the verandah,appreciated the cleanness of the room,grateful to have been introduced to amazing pound cake,fresh fruit and juice every morning of my stay. Michaels knowledge of the area and his staffs were priceless. I will return next year and book my stay at least 2 months... More

We stayed here in a dorm room for carnaval and found Michael´s knowledge of the area and advice invaluable. The hostel is very relaxed, just off the edge of the barra circuit which is good, as its nice and quite amidst the craziness of carnaval! Lovely staff, lots of places to chill, decent breakfast. Would definitely recommend this to anyone... More

At the same time it is right between Barra and Rio Vermelho, and right on Ondina beach. I especially liked the... More

This is without a doubt the best hostel I have ever stayed in. I booked based on Trip Advisor reviews and they were all accurate. Michael, the owner, is amazing.
